RE: Terminology
Gordon & all,
Pilot run/lot generally refers to the actual production parts that is processed in badge/lot, or be it single piece part, after you have substantiated the process capability. And normally, the pilot run parts, will be used for first article inspection or sent back for engine test run, to acquire full approval. In some cases, pilot run could also used to qualify some insignificant process I guess, but the significant ones will normally pre qualified before pilot run...by using scrap
