Risco de Falsificação de Documentos de Processos Especiais (Heat Codes, Certificados NDT) e Desvio de Componentes

1 verified sources

Definition

Manual issuance and storage of special-process certificates (heat treat, NDT, plating) creates vulnerability to counterfeiting. A 2024 Boeing example (cited in aerospace traceability literature) involved verification of Chinese titanium with falsified documentation stretching back ten years—highlighting systemic fraud risk in supply chains lacking digital verification.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: Estimated statutory penalty (ANAC license suspension or revoking): R$ 500,000–R$ 2,000,000 (based on typical civil aviation fines in Brasil); reputational loss (contract termination, customer churn): 10–20% revenue loss for affected companies; recall/rework costs: R$ 100,000–500,000+ per contaminated batch.
  • Frequency: Rare but catastrophic; triggered by ANAC investigations or customer discovery of false documentation.
  • Root Cause: Decentralized, paper-based, or unverified digital storage of heat codes, NDT certificates, and plating lot numbers. No cryptographic verification or audit trail.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: ANAC and international regulators (FAA, EASA) have documented cases of falsified aerospace documentation in Brasil. Implementing digital, tamper-proof batch traceability (immutable records, digital signatures, blockchain-ready systems) eliminates counterfeiting risk and protects companies from R$ 500,000+ fines and license revocation.

Multas e Rejeição de Certificação por Falhas de Rastreabilidade de Processos Especiais

Estimated: R$ 50,000–R$ 250,000 per rejection (operational downtime + re-documentation); potential ANAC license suspension or aircraft grounding fines (statutory basis: RBAC 21.500–21.502). Manual verification adds 20–40 hours/month of audit-preparation labor at Brazilian technician rates (R$ 100–150/hour = R$ 2,000–6,000/month preventable cost).

Gargalo Operacional por Auditorias Manuais de Rastreabilidade em Processos Especiais

Estimated: 15–30 hours/month × R$ 120/hour (technician cost) = R$ 1,800–3,600/month preventable labor cost; estimated 5–10 additional aircraft downtime days per year due to audit delays = R$ 100,000–250,000 in lost MRO revenue (based on typical Brazilian MRO hourly rates of R$ 500–1,000/aircraft-hour × 200–250 billable hours per aircraft).

Multas por Não Conformidade CORSIA - Emissões de Voos Internacionais

Quantified: BRL 25,000–120,000 per compliance violation + BRL 50/ton CO₂ not offset. For airline emitting 15,000 tons annually: minimum BRL 25,000 + (5,000 tons × BRL 50) = BRL 275,000 per year in fines if offsetting obligations not met.

Multas por Não Conformidade CORSIA - Emissões de Voos Internacionais

R$ 370,000+ per year (administrative fines R$ 25,000–R$ 120,000 + R$ 50/ton CO₂ unmitigated). For 15,000-ton emitter: R$ 250,000 (5,000 non-offset tons) + R$ 120,000 (max administrative) = R$ 370,000 minimum annual exposure.

Riscos de Multa LGPD por Violação de Conformidade de Dados em Registros MRB

Up to 20% of annual revenue (proposed LGPD amendment). For R$ 50M MRO: R$ 10,000,000. For R$ 100M MRO: R$ 20,000,000. Current 2% regime: R$ 1,000,000–R$ 2,000,000 for mid-sized operators.

Multas de Conformidade CORSIA – Emissões de Voos Internacionais

BRL 50 per ton of CO₂ emitted (regulatory floor). Example: 25,000 tons/year operator × BRL 50 = BRL 1,250,000 annual fine if non-compliant. Supplier due-diligence cost to avoid pass-through penalties: estimated 15–40 hours/year per airline customer for monitoring verification.
