Find Aircraft Parts for Free

All of us have work habits that we are used to and rely on, but as times change those habits may not always serve us very well.  Take finding aircraft parts for example.  Many of us developed habits back in the days when we had to pay for part availability information or we had to call suppliers one at a time or there were only limited sources of cross-reference information.  Nowadays the internet and forward-thinking web sites make it possible to find what you need quickly and for free.  Let’s take an example: go to the website www.stockmarket.aero.  Type in 168-3 (a lift detector) and hit Search.   Up comes real-time information on availability and condition from several distributors, with contact and ordering information only a click away.  The first time you click for information you need to register, but it is free.  Since the data is live, you know the part is really in stock and not just listed to get your attention.  Sites like stockmarket.aero are easy, convenient, up-to-date and free: they are just what you want but maybe did not know were out there.  They can have advanced features too, like automatic notification when parts become available.

So maybe it’s time to break some old work habits and look for free parts information that is easy and reliable.  Maybe you can help others at the same time; if you find a free site that looks good let us know and KRN will spread the word around.  A few good free sites at your fingertips are a powerful tool for finding aircraft parts with the right availability at the right price.
