The IA9100 Transition Package is a working system for moving a small or mid-sized aerospace supplier from AS9100D to IA9100: fourteen tools, this guide, and one worked example that runs through all of them. It is built for the situation most Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers are in today: a customer bulletin has mentioned IA9100, the general manager has asked whether the shop is ready, the quality team is one to three people, the next AS9100D audit still has to be passed, and there is no final text to buy.
The package does three things. It tells you where you stand, from your own records, against the changes the IAQG has published for the draft. It turns that into a plan that is banded, owned and timed against the month the final text is published, with the risks, the documents and the training laid out. And it gives you the way to run it: the monthly review, the management briefing, the internal audit, and the steps to take when the final text arrives.

IA9100 draft: based on the IAQG's published changes. IA9100 is not yet final, and the final text may change these topics and clause numbers.
A management aid, not certification or a registrar audit. Using it does not by itself show conformity to AS9100D or any other standard, and your customers' requirements may add to it.
Clause numbers refer to AS9100D (SAE AS9100 Rev D) unless another document is named. The standards' text is not reproduced here: use your own licensed copy.
Aegis Insights are our own guidance, labeled wherever they appear: how we approach this work, not a requirement of any standard or customer.
