Inventory, Net [Abstract]
Components Of Inventory	Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):   December 31,   2016   2015 Raw materials $ 54,359   $ 51,439 Work in process 68,718   83,324 Finished goods 26,507   43,077 Inventories $ 149,584   $ 177,840 We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision to write-down excess and obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value, if less than cost, based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand. Once our inventory value is written-down a new cost basis has been established. For 2016, 2015 and 2014 our charges for slow moving, excess and obsolete inventory totaled $9.3 million, $15.4 million and $13.0 million respectively. Our provision for inventory obsolescence allowances was $4.1 million, $5.2 million, and $5.0 million for the years ended of 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 we have $0.2 million of remaining structural landing gear inventory which we believe is recoverable based upon our net realizable value analysis that considers inventory demand, expected selling price, costs to transact, and costs to complete the inventory. We believe our inventory allowances remain adequate with the net realizable value of our inventory being higher than our current inventory cost after allowances.
