Auditors typically do not review every AS9102 package. They sample a mix of recent and high‑risk First Article Inspections: Forms 1–3, supporting evidence (ballooned drawings, inspection records, certs), and related change-control documentation. Exact sampling depends on their audit scope, risk priorities, and the maturity of your processes and records.

Software can strongly support AS9102 Rev C execution on Forms 1, 2, and 3 by enforcing data structures, mandatory fields, links to drawings/BOMs, and traceability to work orders and NCs. It cannot guarantee compliance on its own; effectiveness depends on configuration, integration to PLM/MES/ERP, validation, and disciplined change control in a brownfield environment.
