Accounting Policies [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND IMPACT OF COVID-19	DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC Description of the Business TransDigm Group Incorporated (“TD Group”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TransDigm Inc., is a leading global designer, producer and supplier of highly engineered aircraft components for use on nearly every commercial and military aircraft in service today. TransDigm Inc., along with TransDigm Inc.’s direct and indirect wholly-owned operating subsidiaries (collectively, with TD Group, the “Company” or “TransDigm”), offers a broad range of proprietary aerospace components. TD Group has no significant assets or operations other than its 100% ownership of TransDigm Inc. TD Group’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, under the trading symbol “TDG.” TransDigm's major product offerings, substantially all of which are ultimately provided to end-users in the aerospace industry, include mechanical/electro-mechanical actuators and controls, ignition systems and engine technology, specialized pumps and valves, power conditioning devices, specialized AC/DC electric motors and generators, batteries and chargers, engineered latching and locking devices, engineered rods, engineered connectors and elastomer sealing solutions, databus and power controls, cockpit security components and systems, specialized and advanced cockpit displays, aircraft audio systems, specialized lavatory components, seat belts and safety restraints, engineered and customized interior surfaces and related components, advanced sensor products, switches and relay panels, thermal protection and insulation, lighting and control technology, parachutes, high performance hoists, winches and lifting devices, and cargo loading, handling and delivery systems. Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") surfaced in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to other countries, including the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in governments around the world implementing increasingly stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions, business curtailments and other measures. In addition, governments and central banks in several parts of the world have enacted fiscal and monetary stimulus measures to counteract the impacts of COVID-19. The commercial aerospace industry, in particular, has been significantly disrupted, both domestically and internationally. Cost Mitigation Measures As part of the Company’s response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, the Company began taking certain cost reduction measures in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 such as: (1) reducing its workforce by at least 30% to align operations with customer demand. These actions are in addition to the cost mitigation efforts implemented earlier this calendar year in response to the 737 MAX production rate changes; (2) implementing unpaid furloughs of various lengths at many businesses over approximately the next six months in response to business specific situations; (3) TransDigm’s senior management team substantially reducing its cash compensation for the balance of fiscal 2020; (4) members of TransDigm's Board of Directors forgoing their annual retainer fees for fiscal 2020; and (5) delaying non-essential capital projects and minimizing discretionary spending to only those activities and projects deemed essential in the near term. For the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended June 27, 2020, COVID-19 restructuring costs incurred were approximately $24 million, of which $19 million was recorded in cost of sales and $5 million was recorded in selling and administrative expenses. These were costs related to the Company's actions to reduce its workforce to align with customer demand. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $3 million in incremental costs related to the pandemic that are not expected to recur once the pandemic has subsided and are clearly separable from normal operations (e.g., additional cleaning and disinfecting of facilities by contractors above and beyond normal requirements, personal protective equipment, etc.). As of June 27, 2020 the restructuring accrual associated with the costs incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was immaterial. The Company expects to incur restructuring and incremental costs of between approximately $40 million to $60 million during fiscal 2020 related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to analyze its cost structure and may implement additional cost reduction measures as necessary due to the ongoing business challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Interim Impairment Testing US GAAP requires that both indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50%) that the intangible asset or the reporting unit is impaired. Therefore, during interim periods, ASC 350 requires companies to focus on those events and circumstances that affect significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the asset, asset group or reporting unit to determine whether an interim quantitative impairment test is required. Given the adverse global economic and market conditions attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly as it pertains to the commercial sector of the aerospace and defense industry, the Company determined that an interim impairment evaluation of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was necessary as of March 28, 2020 for certain reporting units in which it was concluded a potential impairment existed. For the identified reporting units, a Step 1 impairment test was performed using an income approach based on management’s determination of the prospective financial information with consideration taken of the existing uncertainty in the global economy and aerospace and defense industry, particularly the commercial sector. Management also included projected declines and subsequent recovery in commercial OEM and aftermarket as a percentage of sales based on available industry data. The Company utilized a third party valuation firm to assist in the determination of the weighted average cost of capital. For each indefinite-lived intangible asset and reporting unit tested, the fair value exceeded carrying value by at least approximately 80%. As a result of the interim impairment testing performed as of March 28, 2020, no indefinite-lived intangible assets or goodwill was determined to be impaired. We updated our assessment during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and validated that the assumptions used in the analyses performed as of March 28, 2020 and the resulting conclusions remained appropriate as of June 27, 2020.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the Company completed the acquisitions of Esterline Technologies Corporation ("Esterline") and substantially all of the assets and technical data rights of the Stormscope product line from L3Harris Technologies, Inc. ("Stormscope") and NavCom Defense Electronics ("NavCom"). The Company accounted for the acquisitions using the acquisition method and included the results of operations of the acquisitions in its condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of each acquisition. The acquisitions strengthen and expand the Company’s position to design, produce and supply highly engineered proprietary aerospace components in niche markets with significant aftermarket content and provide opportunities to create value through the application of our three core value-driven operating strategies (obtaining profitable new business, improving our cost structure, and providing highly engineered value-added products to customers). The purchase price paid for each acquisition reflects the current earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and cash flows, as well as the future EBITDA and cash flows expected to be generated by the business, which are driven in most cases by the recurring aftermarket consumption over the life of a particular aircraft, estimated to be approximately 25 to 30 years. Acquisitions Esterline – On March 14, 2019, TransDigm completed the acquisition of all the outstanding stock of Esterline for $122.50 per share in cash, plus the payoff of Esterline debt. The purchase price, net of cash acquired of approximately $398.2 million, totaled approximately $3,923.9 million. Of the $3,923.9 million purchase price, $3,536.3 million was paid at closing and the remaining $387.6 million was classified as restricted cash for the redemption of the outstanding senior notes due 2023 (herein the "2023 Notes"). The 2023 Notes were redeemed on April 15, 2019. Esterline, through its subsidiaries, was an industry leader in specialized manufacturing for the aerospace and defense industry primarily within three core disciplines: advanced materials, avionics and controls and sensors and systems. The acquisition of Esterline expands TransDigm's platform of proprietary and sole source content for the aerospace and defense industry. TransDigm evaluated the strategic fit and description of each Esterline reporting unit to determine the appropriate business segment for the reporting unit. Each Esterline reporting unit is included in one of TransDigm's segments: Power and Control, Airframe, or Non-aviation. Refer to Note 13, "Segments," for additional information about the Company's segments. The total purchase price of Esterline was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the respective fair value at the date of acquisition. To the extent the purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, such excess was allocated to goodwill. Allocations were based on the acquisition method of accounting and third-party valuation appraisals. Except where otherwise noted in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, changes in balances and activity where comparable periods are presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements are generally driven by the Esterline acquisition. The allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Esterline acquisition as of the acquisition date of March 14, 2019 is summarized in the table below (in millions). Assets acquired: Trade accounts receivable $ 384 Inventories 583 Prepaid expenses and other 423 Property, plant, and equipment 469 Other intangible assets 1,301 Goodwill 2,256 Other 20 Total assets acquired 5,436 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable 146 Accrued liabilities 751 Other non-current liabilities 615 Total liabilities assumed 1,512 Net assets acquired $ 3,924 Of the approximately $2.3 billion of goodwill recognized for the acquisition, approximately $25.6 million is deductible for tax purposes. Also, of the approximately $1.3 billion of other intangible assets recognized for the acquisition, approximately $48.9 million is deductible for tax purposes. In connection with the Esterline acquisition, we acquired existing long-term contracts with customers that were incurring gross margin losses as of the date of acquisition. Based on our review of these contracts, we concluded that the terms of certain of these loss-making contracts were unfavorable when compared to market terms as of the acquisition date. As a result, we recognized loss contract reserves of $267.9 million as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows of the existing long-term contracts and the estimated cash flows had the contracts been executed at market terms as of the acquisition date. These adjustments applied only to contracts generating a negative margin as of the date of acquisition. As of September 30, 2019, we reclassified $9.3 million in loss contract reserves to liabilities held-for-sale, as it pertained to Souriau-Sunbank. Significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the loss contract reserves using the discounted cash flow model include discount rates, forecasted quantities of products to be sold under the long-term contracts and market prices for respective products. While the Company conservatively selected values for these assumptions, they were forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. The loss contract reserves are amortized and recorded as an offset to cost of sales over the life of the contracts as actual sales occur under the long-term contracts. Approximately $26.0 million was amortized and recorded as an offset to cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statement of (loss) income for the thirty-nine week period ended June 27, 2020. Total loss contract reserves related to the Esterline acquisition are $205.3 million and $231.8 million at June 27, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, of which $33.4 million and $60.0 million is classified in accrued liabilities and $171.9 million and $171.8 million is classified in other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 27, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. Extant Acquisitions – On August 30, 2019, the Company's Extant subsidiary completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and technical data rights of the Stormscope product line from L3Harris Technologies, Inc. for approximately $20 million in cash. Stormscope is a lightning detection system for the general aviation and business jet markets. Stormscope is included as a product line of Extant, which is included in TransDigm's Power and Control segment. Approximately $11.1 million of goodwill and approximately $7.5 million of other intangible assets recognized for the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. On October 1, 2018, the Company's Extant subsidiary completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and technical data rights from the Corona, California operations of NavCom for approximately $27 million in cash. NavCom develops, manufactures, and supports high-reliability, mission-critical electronics, avionics and sub-assemblies. NavCom is included as a product line of Extant, which is included in TransDigm's Power and Control segment. Approximately $9.0 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. Pro forma net sales and results of operations for the Extant acquisitions had they occurred at the beginning of the applicable thirty-nine week periods ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 are not material and, accordingly, are not provided. Divestitures Souriau-Sunbank – On December 20, 2019, TransDigm completed the divestiture of the Souriau-Sunbank Connection Technologies business (“Souriau-Sunbank”) to Eaton Corporation plc (“Eaton”) for approximately $920 million. Souriau-Sunbank was acquired by TransDigm as part of its acquisition of Esterline in March 2019. Esterline Interface Technology Group – On September 20, 2019, TransDigm completed the divestiture of its Esterline Interface Technology (“EIT”) group of businesses to an affiliate of KPS Capital Partners, LP for approximately $190 million, which included a working capital settlement of $0.7 million that was paid in February 2020. EIT was acquired by TransDigm as part of its acquisition of Esterline in March 2019. Refer to Note 18, "Discontinued Operations," for further information on the Company's divestitures.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (ASC 842),” which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with a term of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 was effective for the Company on October 1, 2019, and required a modified retrospective application. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (ASC 842) Targeted Improvements,” which provided an additional transition method that allowed entities to initially apply the new standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption without restating prior periods. The Company has completed the necessary changes to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, internal controls, financial policies and information systems. On October 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842 and related amendments using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after October 1, 2019, are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts continue to be reported under ASC 840, “Leases." The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which among other things, allows the carry forward of historical lease classification of existing leases. Additionally, the adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of lease assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of $99 million and $105 million, respectively, as of October 1, 2019. The effects of our transition to ASC 842 resulted in no cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income or cash flows. Refer to Note 16, "Leases," for additional disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13)," which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The new model uses a forward-looking expected loss method, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after October 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” to eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test in order to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after October 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (ASC 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify US GAAP for other areas of ASC 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In March 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted amendments to simplify the financial disclosure requirements for guarantors and issuers of guaranteed securities registered under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. As permitted, the Company elected to early adopt these amendments during the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The amendments replace the condensed consolidating financial information with summarized financial information of the issuers and guarantors, require expanded qualitative disclosures with respect to information about guarantors, the terms and conditions of guarantees and the factors that may affect payment, and permit these disclosures to be provided outside the notes to the parent company’s annual and interim consolidated financial statements. The Company elected to provide this information in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform." This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The amendments in this ASU are effective through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]	REVENUE RECOGNITIONTransDigm's sales are concentrated in the aerospace industry. The Company’s customers include: distributors of aerospace components, commercial airlines, large commercial transport and regional and business aircraft OEMs, various armed forces of the United States and friendly foreign governments, defense OEMs, system suppliers, and various other industrial customers. The majority of the Company's revenue is recorded at a point in time. Revenue is recognized from the sale of products when control transfers to the customer, which is demonstrated by our right to payment, a transfer of title, a transfer of the risk and rewards of ownership, or the customer acceptance, but most frequently upon shipment where the customer obtains physical possession of the goods. In some contracts, control transfers to the customer over time, primarily in contracts where the customer is required to pay for the cost of both the finished and unfinished goods at the time of cancellation plus a reasonable profit relative to the work performed for products that were customized for the customer. Therefore, we recognize revenue over time for those agreements that have a right to margin and where the products being produced have no alternative use. Based on our production cycle, it is generally expected that goods related to the revenue will be shipped and billed within the current year. For revenue recognized over time, we estimate the amount of revenue attributable to a contract earned at a given point during the production cycle based on certain costs, such as materials and labor incurred to date, plus the expected profit, which is a cost-to-cost input method. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. The Company does not offer any payment terms that would meet the requirements for consideration as a significant financing component. Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred in connection with products sold are recorded in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income, and are not considered a performance obligation to our customers. The Company pays sales commissions that relate to contracts for products or services that are satisfied at a point in time or over a period of one year or less and are expensed as incurred. These costs are reported as a component of selling and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income. Contract Assets and Liabilities - Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing or reimbursable costs related to a specific contract. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. We receive payments from customers based on the terms established in our contracts. The following table summarizes our contract assets and liabilities balances (in millions): June 27, 2020 September 30, 2019 Change Contract assets, current (1) $ 39 $ 44 $ (5) Contract assets, non-current (2) 5 7 (2) Total contract assets 44 51 (7) Contract liabilities, current (3) 24 18 6 Contract liabilities, non-current (4) 16 13 3 Total contract liabilities 40 31 9 Net contract assets $ 4 $ 20 $ (16) (1) Included in prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Subsequent Event - Trade Receivables Securitization Facility - On July 22, 2020, the Company amended the Securitization Facility to extend the maturity date to July 27, 2021. As of June 27, 2020, the Company has borrowed $350 million under the Securitization Facility, which bears interest at a rate of 0.9% plus LIBOR. At June 27, 2020, the applicable interest rate was 1.1%. The Securitization Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s domestic operations’ trade accounts receivable. Government Refundable Advances - Government refundable advances consist of payments received from the Canadian government to assist in research and development related to commercial aviation. The requirement to repay this advance is solely based on year-over-year commercial aviation revenue growth at CMC Electronics, which is a subsidiary of TransDigm. The balance was $27.9 million at June 27, 2020 and $39.2 million at September 30, 2019. Obligations under Finance Leases - The Company leases certain buildings and equipment under finance leases. The present value of the minimum capital lease payments, net of the current portion, represents a balance of $57.1 million at June 27, 2020 and $49.9 million at September 30, 2019. Refer to Note 16, "Leases," for further disclosure on the Company's finance lease obligations.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES At the end of each reporting period, TD Group makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. The estimate used in the year-to-date period may change in subsequent periods. During the thirteen week periods ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, the effective income tax rate was 113.5% and 30.0%, respectively. During the thirty-nine week periods ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019, the effective income tax rate was 16.9% and 24.9%, respectively. The Company's higher effective tax rate for the thirteen week period ended June 27, 2020, which also was higher than the Federal statutory rate of 21%, was primarily due to the unfavorable economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's net interest deduction limitation, the associated valuation allowance, and a resulting discrete detriment recognized for a cumulative adjustment associated with excess tax benefits for share-based payments. While the CARES Act increased the net interest deduction limitation, the unfavorable economic impact of COVID-19 decreased overall taxable income; and therefore, limited the amount of deductible interest expense. The Company's lower effective tax rate for the thirty-nine week period ended June 27, 2020, which also was lower than the Federal statutory tax rate of 21%, was primarily due to excess tax benefits for share-based payments in addition to the modification of the interest expense limitation under IRC Section 163(j) enacted as part of the CARES Act. The Company’s effective tax rate for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended June 29, 2019 was higher than the Federal statutory tax rate primarily due to a valuation allowance associated with our net interest expense limitation under IRC Section 163(j), foreign earnings taxed at rates higher than the U.S. statutory rate, taxes recognized as part of an entity restructuring during the period, partially offset by the benefit associated with FDII and excess tax benefits for share-based payments. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under examination for its federal income taxes in the U.S. for fiscal 2016, in Belgium for fiscal years 2016 through 2018, in Canada for fiscal years 2013 through 2015, in France for fiscal years 2015 through 2018, and in Germany for fiscal years 2014 through 2017. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years before fiscal year 2015. The Company is subject to state income tax examinations for fiscal years 2013 and later.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments (in millions): June 27, 2020 September 30, 2019 Level Carrying Fair Value Carrying Fair Value Assets: Cash and cash equivalents 1 $ 4,549 $ 4,549 $ 1,467 $ 1,467 Interest rate cap agreements (1) 2 — — 1 1 Liabilities: Interest rate swap agreements (2) 2 48 48 13 13 Interest rate swap agreements (3) 2 347 347 202 202 Foreign currency forward exchange contracts and other (2) 2 6 6 6 6 Short-term borrowings - trade receivable securitization facility (4) 1 350 350 350 350 Long-term debt, including current portion: Term loans (4) 2 7,413 6,754 7,449 7,478 Revolving credit facility (4) 2 200 200 — — 6.00% 2022 Notes (4) 1 — — 1,146 1,167 2024 Notes (4) 1 1,195 1,152 1,194 1,239 2025 Notes (4) 1 750 707 750 782 2025 Secured Notes (4) 1 1,090 1,152 — — 6.375% 2026 Notes (4) 1 944 886 943 999 6.875% 2026 Notes (4) 1 492 470 491 535 2026 Secured Notes (4) 1 4,347 4,411 3,942 4,290 7.50% 2027 Notes (4) 1 545 539 545 595 5.50% 2027 Notes (4) 1 2,628 2,352 — — Government Refundable Advances 2 28 28 39 39 Finance Lease Obligations 2 57 57 50 50 (1) Included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. (2) Included in accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. (3) Included in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. (4) The carrying amount of the debt instrument is presented net of debt issuance costs, premium and discount. Refer to Note 9, "Debt," for gross carrying amounts. The Company values its financial instruments using an industry standard market approach, in which prices and other relevant information are generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. No financial instruments were recognized using unobservable inputs. Interest rate swaps were measured at fair value using quoted market prices for the swap interest rate indexes over the term of the swap discounted to present value versus the fixed rate of the contract. The interest rate caps were measured at fair value using implied volatility rates of each individual caplet and the yield curve for the related periods. The Company’s derivative contracts consist of foreign currency exchange contracts and, from time to time, interest rate swap and cap agreements. These derivative contracts are over-the-counter, and their fair value is determined using modeling techniques that include market inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, and currency exchange rates. These contracts are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the Company’s term loans was based on information provided by the agent under the Company’s senior secured credit facility. The estimated fair values of the Company’s notes were based upon quoted market prices. There has not been any impact to the fair value of derivative liabilities due to the Company's own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any impact to the fair value of derivative assets based on the Company's evaluation of counterparties' credit risks. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable-net and accounts payable approximated book value due to the short-term nature of these instruments at June 27, 2020 and September 30, 2019.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVIT

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	9 Months Ended

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES	DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company is exposed to, among other things, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security with counterparties to these financial instruments and is therefore subject to credit risk in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company monitors credit risk and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by other parties. These derivative financial instruments do not subject the Company to undue risk, as gains and losses on these instruments generally offset gains and losses on the underlying assets, liabilities, or anticipated transactions that are being hedged. The Company has agreements with each of its swap and cap counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on the credit facility the Company could also be declared in default on its swaps and caps, resulting in an acceleration of payment under the swaps and caps. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For a derivative that has not been designated as an accounting hedge, the change in the fair value is recognized immediately through earnings. For a derivative that has been designated as an accounting hedge of an existing asset or liability (a fair value hedge), the change in the fair value of both the derivative and underlying asset or liability is recognized immediately through earnings. For a derivative designated as an accounting hedge of an anticipated transaction (a cash flow hedge), the change in the fair value is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent the derivative is effective in mitigating the exposure related to the anticipated transaction. The change in the fair value related to the ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is immediately recognized in earnings. The amount recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. Interest Rate Swap and Cap Agreements – Interest rate swap and cap agreements are used to manage interest rate risk associated with floating-rate borrowings under our credit facility. The interest rate swap and cap agreements utilized by the Company effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of the Company’s floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis through the expiration date of the interest rate swap and cap agreements, thereby reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the term of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. These derivative instruments qualify as effective cash flow hedges under US GAAP. For these cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss from the financial instruments was initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ deficit and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same line as the hedged item in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affected earnings. As the interest rate swap and cap agreements are used to manage interest rate risk, any gains or losses from the derivative instruments that are reclassified into earnings are recognized in interest expense - net in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income. The following table summarizes the Company's interest rate swap agreements: Aggregate Notional Amount Start Date End Date Related Term Loans Conversion of Related Variable Rate Debt to $750 3/31/2016 6/30/2020 Tranche E 5.05% (2.8% plus the 2.25% margin percentage) $500 6/29/2018 3/31/2025 Tranche E 5.25% (3.0% plus the 2.25% margin percentage) $750 6/30/2020 6/30/2022 Tranche E 4.75% (2.5% plus the 2.25% margin percentage) $1,500 6/30/2022 3/31/2025 Tranche E 5.35% (3.1% plus the 2.25% margin percentage) $1,000 6/28/2019 12/9/2025 Tranche F 4.05% (1.8% plus the 2.25% margin percentage) $1,400 6/30/2021 12/9/2025 Tranche F 5.25% (3.0% plus the 2.25% margin percentage) $500 12/30/2016 12/31/2021 Tranche G 4.15% (1.9% plus the 2.25% margin percentage) $400 9/30/2017 9/30/2022 Tranche G 4.15% (1.9% plus the 2.25% margin percentage) $900 12/31/2021 6/28/2024 Tranche G 5.35% (3.1% plus the 2.25% margin percentage) $400 9/30/2022 6/28/2024 Tranche G 5.25% (3.0% plus the 2.25% margin percentage) The following table summarizes the Company's interest rate cap agreements: Aggregate Notional Amount Start Date End Date Related Term Loans Offsets Variable Rate Debt Attributable to $750 9/30/2015 6/30/2020 Tranche E Three month LIBO rate of 2.5% $750 6/30/2020 6/30/2022 Tranche E Three month LIBO rate of 2.5% $400 6/30/2016 6/30/2021 Tranche F Three month LIBO rate of 2.0% $400 12/30/2016 12/31/2021 Tranche G Three month LIBO rate of 2.5% Certain derivative asset and liability balances are offset where master netting agreements provide for the legal right of setoff. For classification purposes, we record the net fair value of each type of derivative position that is expected to settle in less than one year with each counterparty as a net current asset or liability and each type of long-term position as a net non-current asset or liability. The amounts shown in the table below represent the gross amounts of recognized assets and liabilities, the amounts offset in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the net amounts of assets and liabilities presented therein (in millions). June 27, 2020 September 30, 2019 Asset Liability Asset Liability Interest rate cap agreements $ — $ — $ 1 $ — Interest rate swap agreements (1) — (395) — (216) Net derivatives as classified in the balance sheet (2) $ — $ (395) $ 1 $ (216) (1) The increase in the interest rate swap liability is primarily attributable to a downward trend in the LIBO rate during the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020. (2) Refer to Note 11, "Fair Value Measurements," for the condensed consolidated balance sheet classification of our interest rate swap and cap agreements. Based on the fair values of the interest rate swap and cap agreements determined as of June 27, 2020, the estimated net amount of existing gains and losses and caplet amortization expected to be reclassified into interest expense within the next twelve months is approximately $50.2 million. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the $750 million notional amount interest rate swap agreement and the $750 million notional amount interest rate cap agreement, both with maturity dates of June 30, 2020, were settled. Upon the settlement of both agreements, the Company recognized interest expense of $2.5 million. Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts – The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies, which subjects the Company’s cash flows and earnings to exposure related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures arise primarily from purchases or sales of products and services from third parties. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts provide for the purchase or sale of foreign currencies at specified future dates at specified exchange rates, and are used to offset changes in the fair value of certain assets or liabilities or forecasted cash flows resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. At June 27, 2020, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts principally to sell U.S. dollars with notional amounts of $78.9 million. These notional values consist primarily of contracts for the Canadian dollar and the European euro and are stated in U.S. dollar equivalents at spot exchange rates at the respective dates. During the thirty-nine week period ended June 27, 2020, the Company recognized gains on foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges of $2.2 million in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income. During the thirty-nine week period ended June 27, 2020, the gains reclassified on foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income were immaterial. The gains (losses) were previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). During the thirty-nine week period ended June 27, 2020, the Company recorded a gain of $3.7 million on foreign currency forward exchange contracts that have not been designated as accounting hedges. These foreign currency exchange gains are included in selling and administrative expenses. There was an immaterial impact to the Company’s earnings related to the ineffective portion of any hedging instruments during the thirty-nine week period ended June 27, 2020. In addition, there was an immaterial impact to the Company’s earnings when a hedged firm commitment no longer qualified as a fair value hedge or when a hedged forecasted transaction no longer qualified as a cash flow hedge during the thirty-nine week period ended June 27, 2020. Amounts related to foreign currency forward exchange contracts included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' deficit are reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction settles. The Company expects to reclassify approximately $6.0 million of net losses into earnings over the next 12 months. The maximum duration of the Company’s foreign currency cash flow hedge contracts at June 27, 2020 is 9 months.

Primary customers of this segment are engine and power system and subsystem suppliers, airlines, third party maintenance suppliers, military buying agencies and repair depots. Products are sold in the original equipment and aftermarket market channels. The Airframe segment includes operations that primarily develop, produce and market systems and components that are used in non-power airframe applications utilizing airframe and cabin structure technologies. Major product offerings include engineered latching and locking devices, engineered rods, engineered connectors and elastomer sealing solutions, cockpit security components and systems, specialized and advanced cockpit displays, aircraft audio systems, specialized lavatory components, seat belts and safety restraints, engineered and customized interior surfaces and related components, thermal protection and insulation, lighting and control technology and parachutes. Primary customers of this segment are airframe manufacturers and cabin system suppliers and subsystem suppliers, airlines, third party maintenance suppliers, military buying agencies and repair depots. Products are sold in the original equipment and aftermarket market channels. The Non-aviation segment includes operations that primarily develop, produce and market products for non-aviation markets. Major product offerings include headsets for high-noise, medium-noise, and dismounted applications, seat belts and safety restraints for ground transportation applications, mechanical/electro-mechanical actuators and controls for space applications, hydraulic/electromechanical actuators and fuel valves for land based gas turbines, and refueling systems for heavy equipment used in mining, construction and other industries and turbine controls for the energy and oil and gas markets. Primary customers of this segment are off-road vehicle suppliers and subsystem suppliers, child restraint system suppliers, satellite and space system suppliers, manufacturers of heavy equipment used in mining, construction and other industries and turbine original equipment manufacturers, gas pipeline builders and electric utilities. The Esterline businesses were acquired during the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and preliminarily assessed as a separate segment of the Company. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Esterline businesses were integrated into TransDigm's existing Power & Control, Airframe, and Non-Aviation segments. Previously reported operating results for the Esterline businesses were reclassified to conform to the presentation for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended June 29, 2019. The re-segmentation did not impact prior period results. The primary measurement used by management to review and assess the operating performance of each segment is EBITDA As Defined. The Company defines EBITDA As Defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization plus certain non-operating items recorded as corporate expenses including refinancing costs, acquisition-related costs, transaction-related costs, foreign currency gains and losses, and non-cash compensation charges incurred in connection with the Company’s stock incentive plans. Acquisition-related costs represent accounting adjustments to inventory associated with acquisitions of businesses and product lines that were charged to cost of sales when the inventory was sold; costs incurred to integrate acquired businesses and product lines into the Company’s operations, facility relocation costs and other acquisition-related costs; transaction related costs comprising deal fees; legal, financial and tax diligence expenses and valuation costs that are required to be expensed as incurred and other acquisition accounting adjustments. EBITDA As Defined is not a measurement of financial performance under US GAAP. Although the Company uses EBITDA As Defined to assess the performance of its business and for various other purposes, the use of this non-GAAP financial measure as an analytical tool has limitations, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results of operations as reported in accordance with US GAAP. The Company’s segments are reported on the same basis used internally for evaluating performance and for allocating resources. The accounting policies for each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at values based on market prices, which creates intercompany profit on intersegment sales or transfers that is eliminated in consolidation. Intersegment sales were immaterial for the periods presented below. Certain corporate-level expenses are allocated to the operating segments.

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, offices, land, equipment and vehicles. Such leases, some of which are noncancelable and, in many cases, include renewals, expire at various dates. Such options to renew are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The Company’s lease agreements typically do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants, and payments within certain lease agreements are adjusted periodically for changes in an index or rate. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The discount rate implicit within our leases is generally not determinable and therefore we determine the discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for our leases is determined based on the lease term and the currency in which lease payments are made. The length of a lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets or liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Additionally, when accounting for leases, the Company combines payments for leased assets, related services and other components of a lease. The components of lease expense for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended June 27, 2020 are as follows (in millions): Classification Thirteen Week Period Ended Thirty-Nine Week Period Ended Operating lease cost Cost of Sales or Selling and Administrative Expenses $ 7 $ 21 Finance lease cost Amortization of leased assets Cost of Sales 1 2 Interest on lease liabilities Interest Expense - Net 1 3 Total lease cost $ 9 $ 26 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the thirty-nine week period ended June 27, 2020 is as follows (in millions): June 27, 2020 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash outflows from operating leases $ 21 Operating cash outflows from finance leases 3 Financing cash outflows from finance leases 1 Lease assets obtained in exchange for new lease obligations: Operating leases $ 21 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases is as follows (in millions): Classification June 27, 2020 Operating Leases Operating lease right-of-use assets Other Assets $ 102 Current operating lease liabilities Accrued Liabilities 22 Long-term operating lease liabilities Other Non-current Liabilities 86 Total operating lease liabilities $ 108 Finance Leases Finance lease right-of-use assets, net Property, Plant and Equipment—Net $ 68 Current finance lease liabilities Accrued Liabilities 2 Long-term finance lease liabilities Other Non-current Liabilities 55 Total finance lease liabilities $ 57 As of June 27, 2020, the Company has the following remaining lease term and weighted average discount rates: Weighted-average remaining lease term Operating leases 6.1 years Finance leases 16.6 years Weighted-average discount rate Operating leases 6.2% Finance leases 7.2% Maturities of lease liabilities at June 27, 2020 are as follows (in millions): Operating Leases Finance Leases 2020 $ 7 $ 1 2021 27 6 2022 24 6 2023 19 6 2024 16 6 Thereafter 39 76 Total future minimum lease payments 132 101 Less: imputed interest 24 44 Present value of lease liabilities reported $ 108 $ 57 A summary of minimum rental commitments at June 27, 2020 under noncancelable operating leases, which expire at various dates and in most cases contain renewal options, for each of the next five years and thereafter in the aggregate, is as follows (in millions): Operating Leases 2020 $ 7 2021 28 2022 24 2023 19 2024 16 Thereafter 42 Total lease commitments $ 136

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIESOn August 8, 2019, a fire caused significant damage to the Niort, France operating facility of Leach International Europe, which is a subsidiary of TransDigm acquired via the Esterline acquisition. Leach International Europe’s results are reported within the Company’s Power & Control segment. The facility as well as certain machinery, equipment and inventory sustained damage. The Company suspended operations at the Niort facility as a result of the fire; however, has transferred certain operations to temporary facilities until operations are fully restored at the rebuilt facility. The facility is estimated to be complete and fully operational between the first quarter and second quarter of fiscal 2021.  The Company’s insurance covers damage to the facility, equipment, inventory, and other assets, at replacement cost, as well as business interruption, and recovery-related expenses caused by the fire, subject to a $1 million deductible and certain sub-limits based on the nature of the covered item. Anticipated insurance recoveries related to losses and incremental costs incurred are recognized when receipt is probable. Anticipated insurance recoveries in excess of net book value of the damaged property and inventory will not be recorded until all contingencies relating to the claim have been resolved. As of June 27, 2020, approximately $26 million in insurance recoveries have been received to date for property loss. The recoveries received were previously recorded as an insurance recovery receivable (classified as a component of prepaid expenses and other on the condensed consolidated balance sheets) at the time of loss. The timing of and amounts of insurance recoveries for business interruption is not known at this time.

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]
Revenue [Policy Text Block]	REVENUE RECOGNITIONTransDigm's sales are concentrated in the aerospace industry. The Company’s customers include: distributors of aerospace components, commercial airlines, large commercial transport and regional and business aircraft OEMs, various armed forces of the United States and friendly foreign governments, defense OEMs, system suppliers, and various other industrial customers. The majority of the Company's revenue is recorded at a point in time. Revenue is recognized from the sale of products when control transfers to the customer, which is demonstrated by our right to payment, a transfer of title, a transfer of the risk and rewards of ownership, or the customer acceptance, but most frequently upon shipment where the customer obtains physical possession of the goods. In some contracts, control transfers to the customer over time, primarily in contracts where the customer is required to pay for the cost of both the finished and unfinished goods at the time of cancellation plus a reasonable profit relative to the work performed for products that were customized for the customer. Therefore, we recognize revenue over time for those agreements that have a right to margin and where the products being produced have no alternative use. Based on our production cycle, it is generally expected that goods related to the revenue will be shipped and billed within the current year. For revenue recognized over time, we estimate the amount of revenue attributable to a contract earned at a given point during the production cycle based on certain costs, such as materials and labor incurred to date, plus the expected profit, which is a cost-to-cost input method. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of the customer and the products or services offered. The Company does not offer any payment terms that would meet the requirements for consideration as a significant financing component. Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred in connection with products sold are recorded in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of (loss) income, and are not considered a performance obligation to our customers.
