EP 89: Work as Imagined vs Work as Done: Closing the Documentation Gap in Aviation with Brent Webb

Aviation runs on strict standards. But it operates in the exceptions.

Older fleets, incomplete records, and AOG pressure don’t always fit neatly as a set formula. This conversation explores the gap between ideal process and operational constraints, and what practical teams do to close that gap without compromising standards.

Brent Webb breaks down why parts acceptance is getting harder, how documentation demands collide with older-platform limitations, and why provenance systems and stronger traceability are becoming a reliable path forward for trust in used material.

In this episode, we cover:

Why legacy fleets create a documentation gap under modern acceptance criteria

What AOG reveals about ideal processes vs execution

How teams stay compliant while still being adaptable and practical

Why traceability/provenance systems reduce uncertainty over time
