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 – 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 products. 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, 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. Employee Safety and Cost Mitigation Measures The Company took immediate and aggressive action to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in our workplaces and reduce costs. Since the early days of the pandemic, we have been following guidance from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Center for Disease Control to protect employees and prevent the spread of the virus within all of our facilities globally. Some of the actions implemented include: flexible work-from-home scheduling; alternate shift schedules; pre-shift temperature screenings, where allowed by law; social distancing; appropriate personal protective equipment; facility deep cleaning; and paid quarantine time for impacted employees. Material actions to reduce costs included: (1) reducing its workforce to align operations with customer demand; (2) implementing unpaid furloughs and salary reductions; and (3) delaying non-essential capital projects and minimizing discretionary spending. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, COVID-19 restructuring costs incurred were approximately $46 million, of which $37 million was recorded in cost of sales and $9 million was recorded in selling and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income. These were costs related to the Company's actions to reduce its workforce to align with customer demand. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $5 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 September 30, 2020 the restructuring accrual associated with the costs incurred in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was approximately $13 million. This accrual is recorded as a component of accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects to incur and pay additional restructuring costs during fiscal 2021 related to the COVID-19 pandemic though at a reduced level in comparison to fiscal 2020. 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. Impairment Testing U.S. 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. 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 the second quarter of fiscal 2020 for certain reporting units in which it was concluded a potential impairment existed. Interim Impairment Testing —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 given to 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. The results of this test indicated the fair value exceeded carrying value for all reporting units tested. 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. Management 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. Annual Impairment Testing —The Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets as of the first day of the fourth quarter. The Company first assessed certain qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite lived intangible assets is less than its carrying amount, and whether it is therefore necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. 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 used a similar approach to the interim impairment testing performed. For the identified reporting units, the Company performed a Step 1 impairment test using an income approach based on management’s determination of the prospective financial information with consideration given to 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. The Company performed a sensitivity analysis on the discount rate, which is a significant assumption in the calculation of fair values. With a one percentage point increase in the discount rate, all of the reporting units would continue to have fair values in excess of their respective carrying values. As a result of the impairment testing performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter, no indefinite-lived intangible assets or goodwill was determined to be impaired. As economic and market conditions have not changed significantly since the first day of the fourth quarter, this conclusion remains appropriate as of September 30, 2020. CARES Act |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the Company completed the acquisitions of 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 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 repayment 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 Esterline’s outstanding senior notes due 2023 (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 17, "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. 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, excluding cash: Trade accounts receivable $ 384 Inventories 583 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 423 Property, plant, and equipment 469 Other intangible assets 1,301 Goodwill 2,256 Other 20 Total assets acquired, excluding cash 5,436 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable 146 Other current liabilities 751 Other noncurrent 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 negative gross margins 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 have reclassified $9.3 million in loss contract reserves to liabilities held-for-sale, as it pertains 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. These were forward looking assumptions 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 $29.5 million and $27.3 million was amortized and recorded as an offset to cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Total loss contract reserves related to the Esterline acquisition were $201.3 million and $231.8 million at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively of which $31.9 million and $60.0 million is classified in accrued liabilities and $169.4 million and $171.8 million is classified in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Esterline acquisition costs were expensed as incurred and totaled $26.9 million and $85.1 million for the the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. Skandia – On July 13, 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Skandia for a total purchase price of approximately $84.3 million, which is net of a $0.2 million working capital settlement paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Skandia provides highly engineered seating foam, foam fabrication, flammability testing and acoustic solutions for the business jet market. Skandia is included as a product line within an existing reporting unit in TransDigm's Airframe segment. No goodwill recognized for the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. Extant – On April 24, 2018, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Extant for a total purchase price of approximately $533.1 million in cash, which is net of a $0.2 million working capital settlement received in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Extant provides a broad range of proprietary aftermarket products and repair and overhaul services to the aerospace and defense end markets. Extant is included in TransDigm's Power and Control segment. Prior to the Company's acquisition of Extant, Extant was owned by an equity fund sponsored by Warburg Pincus LLC. Michael Graff, a director of TransDigm, is a managing director of Warburg Pincus LLC and was chairman of the board of Extant. Robert Henderson, Vice Chairman of TransDigm, was also on the board of Extant and owned less than 2% of Extant on a fully diluted basis. In addition, Mr. Graff, Mr. W. Nicholas Howley, TransDigm's Executive Chairman, Mr. Douglas Peacock, then a director of TransDigm, and Mr. David Barr, a director of TransDigm, each had minority interests of less than 1% in the Warburg Pincus LLC fund that owned Extant. The total purchase price of Extant was allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the fair values 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. Approximately $62.5 million of the $105.0 million other intangible assets recognized for the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes over 15 years. Of the $407.0 million of goodwill recognized for the acquisition, approximately $12.4 million is deductible for tax purposes. 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 market. 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 recognized for the acquisition 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 of 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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Consolidation —The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of TD Group and subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Revenue Recognition —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. The majority of the Company's revenue is recorded at a point in time. Sales recognized over time are generally accounted for using an input measure to determine progress completed at the end of the period. Sales for service contracts generally are recognized as the services are provided. Refer to Note 5, “Revenue Recognition,” for additional information regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Shipping and Handling Costs —Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income. Research and Development Costs —The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred and classifies such amounts in selling and administrative expenses. The expense recognized for research and development costs for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $130.9 million, $116.8 million, and $73.8 million, respectively. Cash Equivalents —The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts —The Company reserves for amounts determined to be uncollectible based on specific identification of losses and estimated losses based on historical experience. The allowance also incorporates a provision for the estimated impact of disputes with customers. The determination of the amount of the allowance for uncollectible accounts is subject to judgment and estimation by management. If circumstances change or economic conditions deteriorate or improve, the allowance for uncollectible accounts could increase or decrease. Inventories —Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories is generally determined by the average cost and the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) methods and includes material, labor and overhead related to the manufacturing process. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts. Property, Plant and Equipment —Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and include improvements which significantly increase capacities or extend the useful lives of existing plant and equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements from 10 to 20 years, buildings and improvements from 5 to 30 years, machinery and equipment from 2 to 10 years and furniture and fixtures from 3 to 10 years. Net gains or losses related to asset dispositions are recognized in earnings in the period in which dispositions occur. Routine maintenance, repairs and replacements are expensed as incurred. Amortization expense of assets accounted for as finance leases is included within depreciation expense. Property, plant and equipment is assessed for potential impairment whenever indicators of impairment are present by determining whether the carrying value of the property can be recovered through projected, undiscounted cash flows from future operations over the property’s remaining estimated useful life. Any impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future cash flows. Debt Issuance Costs, Premiums and Discounts —The cost of obtaining financing as well as premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the respective obligations as a component of interest expense within the consolidated statements of income. Debt issuance costs are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liabilities. Financial Instruments —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 variable 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 volatility on future interest expense. These agreements involve the receipt of variable 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 U.S. GAAP. The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies, which subjects the Company’s cash flows and results of operations 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. For the interest rate swap and cap agreements and the foreign currency forward contracts designated as 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 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 consolidated statements of income. As the foreign currency forward exchange contracts are used to manage foreign currency exposure primarily arising from purchases or sales from third parties, any gains or losses from the derivative instruments that are reclassified into earnings are recognized in cost of sales or net sales in the consolidated statements of income. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets —In accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” the Company uses the acquisition method of accounting to allocate costs of acquired businesses to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess costs of acquired businesses over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized as goodwill. The valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed will impact the determination of future operating results. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, revenue growth rates, discount rates, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, asset lives and market multiples, among other items. We determine the fair values of intangible assets acquired generally in consultation with third-party valuation advisors. Fair value adjustments to the Company’s assets and liabilities are recognized and the results of operations of the acquired business are included in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the merger or acquisition. Intangible assets other than goodwill are recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed or exchanged, regardless of the Company’s intent to do so. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of the net assets of a business acquired. Other intangible assets consist of identifiable intangibles acquired or recognized in accounting for the acquisitions (trademarks, trade names, technology, customer relationships, order backlog and other intangible assets). Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives (i.e., trademarks and trade names) are subject to annual impairment testing. Management determines fair value using a discounted future cash flow analysis or other accepted valuation techniques. The Company performs an annual impairment test for goodwill and other intangible assets as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce fair value below current value. At the time of goodwill impairment testing, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, and whether it is therefore necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The quantitative goodwill impairment test consists of two steps. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit (as defined) with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired, and the second step of the goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. The second step measures the amount of impairment, if any, by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill associated with a reporting unit to the implied fair value of the goodwill derived from the estimated overall fair value of the reporting unit and the individual fair values of the other assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. U.S. GAAP requires that the annual, and any interim, impairment assessment be performed at the reporting unit level. The reporting unit level is one level below an operating segment. Substantially all goodwill was determined and recognized for each reporting unit pursuant to the accounting for the merger or acquisition as of the date of each transaction. With respect to acquisitions integrated into an existing reporting unit, any acquired goodwill is combined with the goodwill of the reporting unit. The impairment test for indefinite lived intangible assets consists of a comparison between their fair values and carrying values. If the carrying amounts of intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives exceed their fair values, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the sum of any such excesses. The Company assesses the recoverability of its amortizable intangible assets only when indicators of impairment are present by determining whether the amortization over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected, undiscounted cash flows from future operations. Amortization of amortizable intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: technology from 20 to 22 years, order backlog from 1 to 1.5 years, customer relationships over 20 years and other intangible assets over 20 years. Refer to Note 1, "Description of the Business and Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic," for further disclosures over the interim and annual impairment procedures performed during fiscal year 2020. Stock-Based Compensation —The Company records stock-based compensation expense using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on certain valuation assumptions. Compensation expense is recorded over the vesting periods of the stock options. The Company has classified stock-based compensation primarily within selling and administrative expenses to correspond with the classification of employees that receive stock option grants. No expense is recognized for any stock options ultimately forfeited because the recipients fail to meet vesting requirements. The Company also evaluates any subsequent changes to the respective option holders terms under the modification rules of ASC 718. If determined to be a modification, the Black-Scholes pricing model is updated as of the date of the modification resulting in a cumulative catch up to expense. Income Taxes —The provision for income taxes is calculated using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax effect of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the amounts used for income tax purposes and for certain changes in valuation allowances. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce certain deferred tax assets when, in our estimation, it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Comprehensive Income (Loss) —The term “comprehensive income (loss)” represents the change in stockholders’ equity (deficit) from transactions and other events and circumstances resulting from non-stockholder sources. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, consisting principally of fair value adjustments to its interest rate swap and cap agreements (net of tax), cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and pension liability adjustments (net of tax), is reported separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions —The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries located outside the United States are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized currently in income, and those resulting from translation of financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) for the period. Foreign currency gains or losses recognized currently in income from changes in exchange rates were immaterial to our results of operations. Earnings per Share —Earnings per share information is determined using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and other securities that participate in dividends (“participating securities”). Our vested stock options are considered “participating securities” because they include non-forfeitable rights to dividends. In applying the two-class method, earnings are allocated to both common stock shares and participating securities based on their respective weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share information may include the additional effect of other securities, if dilutive, in which case the dilutive effect of such securities is calculated using the treasury stock method. Contingently issuable shares are not included in earnings per share until the period in which the contingency is satisfied; therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same. Pension Benefits —The Company accounts for pension expense using the end of the fiscal year as our measurement date. Management selects appropriate assumptions including the discount rate, rate of increase in future compensation levels and assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets. The assumptions are based upon historical results, the current economic environment and reasonable expectations of future events. Actual results which vary from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods, and accordingly, are recognized in expense in these periods. Significant differences between the assumptions and actual experience or significant changes in assumptions could impact the pension costs and the pension obligation. |

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, allow 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 results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 19, "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, and will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost (e.g., trade, unbilled and other receivables). ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company on October 1, 2020 and will not materially impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition upon adoption. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (ASC 715-20)." ASC 715-20 modifies disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASC 715-20 also requires an entity to disclose the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and to explain the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation. The Company adopted this standard in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. ASC 715-20 did not 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 U.S. 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 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 has provided this information in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” |

REVENUE RECOGNITION (Notes)
REVENUE RECOGNITION (Notes) | 12 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2020 | |
Revenue Recognition [Abstract] | |
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | REVENUE RECOGNITION TransDigm'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. We consider the contractual consideration payable by the customer and assesses variable consideration that may affect the total transaction price. Variable consideration is included in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount, including whether the estimate should be constrained in order to avoid a significant reversal of revenue in a future period. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance under the terms of the contract and our best judgment at the time. 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 consolidated statements of 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 consolidated statements of income. In fiscal 2020, no customer individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net sales. In fiscal 2019, one customer accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s net sales, which was split approximately 60% and 40% between the Airframe and Power & Control segments, respectively. In fiscal 2018, one customer accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s net sales and a second customer accounted for approximately 10% of the Company’s net sales, each of which were split approximately evenly between the Power & Control and Airframe segments. Sales to foreign customers, primarily in Western Europe, Canada and Asia, were $1,696 million, $1,778 million and $1,355 million during the fiscal years ended 2020, 2019 and 2018.

The Securitization Facility effectively increases the Company’s borrowing capacity depending on the amount of the domestic operations’ trade accounts receivable. The Securitization Facility includes the right for the Company to exercise annual one year extensions as long as there have been no termination events as defined by the agreement. The Company uses the proceeds from the Securitization Facility as an alternative to other forms of debt, effectively reducing borrowing costs.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
RETIREMENT PLANS | RETIREMENT PLANS The Company maintains certain non-contributory defined benefit pension plans. The plans provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute actuarially determined amounts allowable under tax and statutory regulations for the qualified plans. The Company uses a September 30th measurement date for its defined benefit pension plans. In addition, the Company makes actuarially computed contributions to these plans as necessary to adequately fund benefits. The Company’s funding policy is consistent with the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Company sponsors a number of U.S. defined benefit pension plans, with the largest plan being the Esterline Retirement Plan (“ERP”). Under the ERP, pension benefits are primarily earned under a cash balance formula with annual pay credits ranging from 2% to 6%. The weighted average interest crediting rate for the plan is 5.50% for fiscal years 2020 and 2019. The Company also sponsors other retirement benefit plans for certain employees in the U.S., such as non-contributory health care and life insurance plans. The Company sponsors a number of non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans primarily in Canada, Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. These defined benefit plans generally provide benefits to employees based on formulas recognizing length of service and earnings. The Company also sponsors other retirement benefit plans for its employees in Canada. Other retirement benefit plans are non-contributory health care and life insurance plans. The accumulated benefit obligation and projected benefit obligation for the U.S. plans are $358.1 million and $366.2 million, respectively, with plan assets of $342.0 million as of September 30, 2020. The underfunded status for the Company’s U.S. plans is $24.2 million at September 30, 2020, all of which is for the Company’s qualified U.S. plans. As of September 30, 2020, a $19.4 million decrease to the projected benefit obligation is due to settlements that occurred in fiscal 2020. Contributions to the Company’s qualified and non-qualified U.S. plans totaled $1.7 million and $19.8 million, respectively, in fiscal 2020. Contributions to the Company’s qualified and non-qualified U.S. plans totaled $1.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in fiscal 2019. There is an expected funding requirement of $0.9 million for fiscal 2021 for the qualified U.S. pension plans maintained by the Company. The accumulated benefit obligation and projected benefit obligation for the non-U.S. plans are $237.2 million and $247.8 million, respectively, with plan assets of $204.3 million as of September 30, 2020. The underfunded status for these non-U.S. plans is $47.5 million at September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, a $40.1 million decrease to the projected benefit obligation is due to settlements that occurred in fiscal 2020. Contributions to the non-U.S. plans totaled $8.3 million and $2.7 million in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. The expected funding requirement for fiscal 2021 for the non-U.S. plans is $3.1 million. U.S. Defined Benefit Pension Plans Non-U.S. Defined Benefit Pension Plans Principal assumptions as of year end: 2020 2019 2020 2019 Discount rate 2.47% 3.03% 1.90% 2.20% Rate of increase in future compensation levels 4.45% 4.48% 2.90% 2.98% Assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets 5.99% 6.00% 3.69% 4.16% U.S. Post-Retirement Pension Plans Non-U.S. Post Retirement Pension Plans Principal assumptions as of year end: 2020 2019 2020 2019 Discount rate 1.99% 2.86% 2.28% 2.68% Initial weighted average health care trend rate 7.27% 7.46% 5.50% 5.60% Ultimate weighted average health care trend rate 6.00% 6.00% 4.10% 4.10% The Company uses discount rates developed from a yield curve established from high-quality corporate bonds and matched to plan-specific projected benefit payments. Although future changes to the discount rate are unknown, had the discount rate increased or decreased by 25 basis points, pension liabilities in total would have decreased $20.3 million or increased $17.1 million, respectively. Had the discount rate increased or decreased by 25 basis points, fiscal 2020 net periodic benefit cost for the pension plans would have increased $0.2 million or decreased $0.1 million, respectively. In determining the expected long-term rate of return on the defined benefit pension plans’ assets, the Company considers the historical rates of return, the nature of investments, the asset allocation, and expectations of future investment strategies. Had the expected return on assets increased or decreased by 25 basis points, fiscal 2020 net periodic benefit cost would have decreased $1.3 million or increased $1.3 million, respectively. Management is not aware of any legislative or other initiatives or circumstances that will significantly impact the Company’s pension obligations in fiscal 2021. Plan assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of equity and debt securities consisting primarily of common stocks, bonds and government securities. The objective of these investments is to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund current benefit payments and achieve targeted risk-adjusted returns. Management periodically reviews allocations of plan assets by investment type and evaluates external sources of information regarding the long-term historical returns and expected future returns for each investment type.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES The Company’s income from continuing operations before income taxes includes the following components for the periods shown below (in millions): Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2018 United States $ 635 $ 878 $ 827 Foreign 105 185 159 $ 740 $ 1,063 $ 986 The Company’s income tax provision on income from continuing operations consists of the following for the periods shown below (in millions): Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2018 Current Federal $ 26 $ 154 $ 137 State 3 15 12 Foreign 34 54 27 63 223 176 Deferred 24 (1) (152) $ 87 $ 222 $ 24 The differences between the income tax provision on income from continuing operations at the federal statutory income tax rate and the tax provision shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the periods shown below are as follows (in millions): Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2018 Tax at statutory rate of 21% (21% for fiscal 2019 and 24.5% for fiscal 2018 ) $ 155 $ 223 $ 242 Stock compensation (79) (58) (51) Domestic manufacturing deduction — — (15) U.S. tax reform (1) — — (146) Foreign rate differential 5 2 (14) Foreign derived intangible income (20) (16) — Foreign tax credits (5) (18) (3) Changes in valuation allowances impacting results (2) 31 66 — Other—net — 23 11 Income tax provision $ 87 $ 222 $ 24 (1) On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously deferred as well as other changes. We recorded tax benefits of $176.4 million related to the remeasurement of our net U.S. deferred tax liabilities to reflect the reduction in the corporate tax rate. We also recorded tax expense of $30.0 million related to the one-time transition tax. (2) Primarily relates to the Company’s business interest expense limitation pursuant to IRC §163(j) as modified by the Act. Such provision, as modified, is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2019. In general, the deduction for interest expense is limited to 30% (50% as modified by the CARES Act for the Company’s fiscal 2020 and 2021) of the sum of the Company’s adjusted taxable income (“ATI”) and its business interest income. Interest expense disallowed by such limitation, in a taxable year, may be carried forward indefinitely. Based upon available evidence, a valuation allowance was recorded for the resulting carryforward to reflect the Company’s belief that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized. The components of the deferred taxes consist of the following at September 30 (in millions): 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets (liabilities): Intangible assets $ (730) $ (710) Property, plant and equipment (59) (64) Employee benefits 110 123 Interest rate swaps and caps 92 55 U.S. interest expense limitation 87 65 Loss contract reserves 55 63 Net operating losses 54 58 Inventories 41 39 Non-U.S. income tax credits 21 24 U.S. income tax credits 17 17 Environmental reserves 12 10 Product warranty reserves 10 8 Other 9 4 Total (281) (308) Add: Valuation allowance (132) (118) Total net deferred tax $ (413) $ (426) At September 30, 2020, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,482.1 million, Belgium net operating loss carryforwards of $47.0 million, German net operating loss carryforwards of $18.1 million and United Kingdom net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $12.3 million that expire in various years from 2020 to 2039. The Company had U.S. and non-U.S. tax credit carryforwards of $38.2 million that expire beginning in 2025. The deferred tax assets for the interest expense limitation, net operating losses, and tax credit carryforwards are reduced by a valuation allowance for the amount of such assets that the Company believes will not be realized. 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 no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years before fiscal 2015.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, and in France for fiscal years 2015 through 2018. The Company expects the examination in France to be completed during fiscal 2021. In addition, the Company is subject to state income tax examinations for fiscal years 2015 and later. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in millions): 2020 2019 Balance at October 1 $ 37 $ 14 Additions based on tax positions related to the prior year 7 26 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 2 — Reductions based on tax positions related to the prior year (1) (2) Settlement with tax authorities (2) — Lapse in statute of limitations (2) (1) Balance at September 30 $ 41 $ 37 Unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2020 and 2019, the recognition of which would have an effect on the effective tax rate for each fiscal year, amounted to $40.9 million and $36.7 million, respectively. The Company classifies all income tax related interest and penalties as income tax expense, which were not significant for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company accrued $8.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively, for the potential payment of interest and penalties. Within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by approximately $20.0 million resulting from resolution or closure of tax examinations. Any increase in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months is expected to be insignificant. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES During the ordinary course of business, the Company is from time to time threatened with, or may become a party to, legal actions and other proceedings. While the Company is currently involved in certain legal proceedings, it believes the results of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Environmental Liabilities Our operations and facilities are subject to a number of federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations that govern, among other things, discharges of pollutants into the air and water, the generation, handling, storage and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes, the remediation of contamination and the health and safety of our employees. Environmental laws and regulations may require that the Company investigate and remediate the effects of the release or disposal of materials at sites associated with past and present operations. Certain facilities and third-party sites utilized by the Company have been identified as potentially responsible parties under the federal superfund laws and comparable state laws. The Company is currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites under applicable laws. Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities are based on current facts, laws, regulations and technology. These estimates take into consideration the Company’s prior experience and professional judgment of the Company’s environmental advisors. Estimates of the Company’s environmental liabilities are further subject to uncertainties regarding the nature and extent of site contamination, the range of remediation alternatives available, evolving remediation standards, imprecise engineering evaluations and cost estimates, the extent of corrective actions that may be required and the number and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties, as well as the extent of their responsibility for the remediation. Accordingly, as investigation and remediation proceed, it is likely that adjustments in the Company’s accruals will be necessary to reflect new information. The amounts of any such adjustments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a given period. Based on currently available information, however, the Company does not believe that future environmental costs in excess of those accrued with respect to sites for which the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. Environmental liabilities are recorded when the liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, which generally is not later than at completion of a feasibility study or when the Company has recommended a remedy or has committed to an appropriate plan of action. The Company also takes into consideration the estimated period of time in which payments will be required. The liabilities are reviewed periodically and, as investigation and remediation proceed, adjustments are made as necessary. Liabilities for losses from environmental remediation obligations do not consider the effects of inflation and anticipated expenditures are not discounted to their present value. The liabilities are not offset by possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other third parties, but do reflect anticipated allocations among potentially responsible parties at federal superfund sites or similar state-managed sites, third party indemnity obligations, and an assessment of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets includes current environmental remediation obligations at September 30, 2020 and 2019 of $7.9 million and $9.4 million classified as a component of accrued liabilities, respectively, and non-current environmental remediation obligations at September 30, 2020 and 2019 of $43.1 million and $32.7 million classified as a component of other non-current liabilities, respectively. Leach International Europe - Fire On August 8, 2019, a fire caused significant damage to the Niort, France operating facility of Leach International Europe, a subsidiary of TransDigm. 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 and transferred certain operations to temporary facilities until operations are fully restored at the rebuilt facility in Niort. The new facility is estimated to be complete and fully operational during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. |

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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | 12 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2020 | |
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company’s equity compensation plans are designed to assist the Company in attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding key employees, directors or consultants, and promoting the creation of long-term value for stockholders by closely aligning the interests of these individuals with those of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s equity compensation plans provide for the granting of stock options. Non-cash stock compensation expense recognized by the Company during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $92.7 million, $93.4 million and $58.5 million, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $157.41, $114.43 and $81.04, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized based upon probability assessments of awards that are expected to vest in future periods, adjusted for expected forfeitures. Such probability assessments are subject to revision and, therefore, unrecognized compensation expense is subject to future changes in estimate. As of September 30, 2020, there was approximately $62.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested awards expected to vest, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. On September 25, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determined to allow the portion of options granted in fiscal 2020 with a scheduled vesting date in 2020 to vest, effective September 30, 2020, notwithstanding that performance criteria for such options would not be met. This action impacts options granted to approximately 85 individuals, including all of the independent directors and certain executive officers. This action was treated as a modification for accounting purposes under ASC 718. An additional $2.5 million of stock compensation expense for fiscal 2020 resulted from this modification. The fair value of the Company’s employee stock options was estimated at the date of grant or modification using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for all options granted during the fiscal years ended: Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2018 Risk-free interest rate 0.26% to 1.65% 2.33% to 3.03% 2.01% to 2.84% Expected life of options 5 to 5.5 years 5.5 years 5.2 years Expected dividend yield of stock — — — Expected volatility of stock 25% to 39% 25% 25% The risk-free interest rate is based upon the Treasury bond rates as of the grant or modification date. The average expected life of stock-based awards is based on the Company’s actual historical exercise experience. Expected volatility of stock was calculated using a rate based upon the historical volatility of TransDigm’s common stock up to the date of grant or date of modification. The Company estimates stock option forfeitures based on historical data. The total number of stock options expected to vest is adjusted by actual and estimated forfeitures. Changes to the actual and estimated forfeitures will result in a cumulative adjustment in the period of change. Notwithstanding the special cash dividends declared and paid from time to time, the Company historically has not declared and paid regular cash dividends and does not anticipate declaring and paying regular cash dividends in future periods; thus, no dividend rate assumption is used. The total fair value of options vested during fiscal years ended September 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $97.2 million, $37.7 million and $44.4 million, respectively. The significant increase in the total fair value of options vested during fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal years 2019 and 2018 resulted from substantially more options vesting and an increase in the fair value of options granted during the current fiscal year. 2019 Stock Option Plan In August 2019, the Board of Directors of TD Group adopted a new stock option plan, which was subsequently approved by stockholders on October 3, 2019. The 2019 stock option plan permits TD Group to award stock options to our key employees, directors or consultants. The total number shares of TD Group common stock reserved for issuance or delivery under the 2019 stock option plan is 4,000,000, subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend or split, reorganization, recapitalization, merger, share exchange or any other similar corporate transaction or event.

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leases of Lessee Disclosure | LEASES The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, offices, land, equipment and vehicles. Such leases, some of which are noncancellable 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 are as follows (in millions): Classification Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2020 Operating lease cost Cost of Sales or Selling and Administrative Expenses $ 29 Finance lease cost Amortization of leased assets Cost of Sales 3 Interest on lease liabilities Interest Expense - Net 4 Total lease cost $ 36 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 is as follows (in millions): Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2020 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash outflows from operating leases $ 29 Operating cash outflows from finance leases 4 Financing cash outflows from finance leases 2 Lease assets obtained in exchange for new lease obligations: Operating leases $ 32 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases is as follows (in millions): Classification September 30, 2020 Operating Leases Operating lease right-of-use assets Other Assets $ 103 Current operating lease liabilities Accrued Liabilities 22 Long-term operating lease liabilities Other Non-current Liabilities 87 Total operating lease liabilities $ 109 Finance Leases Finance lease right-of-use assets, net Property, Plant and Equipment—Net $ 67 Current finance lease liabilities Accrued Liabilities 2 Long-term finance lease liabilities Other Non-current Liabilities 55 Total finance lease liabilities $ 57 As of September 30, 2020, the Company has the following remaining lease term and weighted average discount rates: Weighted-average remaining lease term Operating leases 6.5 years Finance leases 16.4 years Weighted-average discount rate Operating leases 6.2% Finance leases 7.2% Maturities of lease liabilities at September 30, 2020 are as follows (in millions): Operating Leases Finance Leases 2021 $ 28 $ 6 2022 24 6 2023 19 6 2024 16 6 2025 13 6 Thereafter 35 70 Total future minimum lease payments 135 100 Less: imputed interest 26 43 Present value of lease liabilities reported $ 109 $ 57 Rental expense during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was $26 million and $19 million, respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The following tables present 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): September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 Level Carrying Fair Value Carrying Fair Value Assets: Cash and cash equivalents 1 $ 4,717 $ 4,717 $ 1,467 $ 1,467 Interest rate cap agreements (1) 2 — — 1 1 Liabilities: Interest rate swap agreements (2) 2 56 56 13 13 Interest rate swap agreements (3) 2 328 328 202 202 Foreign currency forward exchange contracts (3) 2 1 1 6 6 Short-term borrowings - trade receivable securitization facility (4) 1 349 349 350 350 Long-term debt, including current portion: Term loans (4) 2 7,378 7,004 7,449 7,478 Revolving credit facility (4) 2 200 200 — — 2022 Notes (4) 1 — — 1,146 1,167 2024 Notes (4) 1 1,195 1,194 1,194 1,239 2025 Notes (4) 1 750 743 750 782 2025 Secured Notes (4) 1 1,091 1,194 — — 6.375% 2026 Notes (4) 1 944 948 943 999 6.875% 2026 Notes (4) 1 493 500 491 535 6.25% 2026 Notes (4) 1 4,350 4,604 3,942 4,290 7.50% 2027 Notes (4) 1 545 569 545 595 5.50% 2027 Notes (4) 1 2,629 2,544 — — 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 consolidated balance sheets. (2) Included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. (3) Included in other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. (4) The carrying amount of the debt instrument is presented net of the debt issuance costs, premium and discount. Refer to Note 12, “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. |

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 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 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 U.S. 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 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 consolidated statements of 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 Fixed Rate of: $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 Debt Offsets Variable Rate Debt Attributable to Fluctuations Above: $750 6/30/2020 6/30/2022 Tranche E Three month LIBOR of 2.5% $400 6/30/2016 6/30/2021 Tranche F Three month LIBOR of 2.0% $400 12/30/2016 12/31/2021 Tranche G Three month LIBOR 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 consolidated balance sheet and the net amounts of assets and liabilities presented therein. September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 Asset Liability Asset Liability Interest rate cap agreements $ — $ — $ 1 $ — Interest rate swap agreements (1) — (384) — (216) Net derivatives as classified in the balance sheet (2) $ — $ (384) $ 1 $ (216) (1) The increase in the interest rate swap liability is primarily attributable to a downward trend in LIBOR during fiscal 2020. (2) Refer to Note 20, "Fair Value Measurements," for the consolidated balance sheet classification of our interest rate swap and cap agreements. Based on the fair value amounts of the interest rate swap and cap agreements determined as of September 30, 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 $10.3 million. During the fourth 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 $2.2 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 September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts principally to sell U.S. dollars with notional amounts of $172.5 million. These notional values consist primarily of contracts for the Canadian dollar and European euro and are stated in U.S. dollar equivalents at spot exchange rates at the respective dates. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized losses on foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges of $1.6 million in other (income) expense on the consolidated statements of income. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized losses on foreign currency forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges of $3.9 million in net sales on the consolidated statements of income. The losses were previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in stockholders' deficit. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $0.7 million on foreign currency forward exchange contracts that have not been designated as accounting hedges. These foreign currency exchange losses are included in selling and administrative expenses. Amounts related to foreign currency forward exchange contracts included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in stockholders' deficit are reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction settles. The Company expects to reclassify approximately $1.2 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 September 30, 2020 was 12 months. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2020 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis Of Presentation And Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of TD Group and subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. |
Revenue from Contract with Customer | Revenue Recognition —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. The majority of the Company's revenue is recorded at a point in time. Sales recognized over time are generally accounted for using an input measure to determine progress completed at the end of the period. Sales for service contracts generally are recognized as the services are provided. Refer to Note 5, “Revenue Recognition,” for additional information regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Shipping and Handling Costs —Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income. |
Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs —The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred and classifies such amounts in selling and administrative expenses. The expense recognized for research and development costs for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $130.9 million, $116.8 million, and $73.8 million, respectively. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents —The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. |
Allowance For Uncollectible Accounts | Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts —The Company reserves for amounts determined to be uncollectible based on specific identification of losses and estimated losses based on historical experience. The allowance also incorporates a provision for the estimated impact of disputes with customers. The determination of the amount of the allowance for uncollectible accounts is subject to judgment and estimation by management. If circumstances change or economic conditions deteriorate or improve, the allowance for uncollectible accounts could increase or decrease. |
Inventories | Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories is generally determined by the average cost and the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) methods and includes material, labor and overhead related to the manufacturing process. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow-moving inventory is made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts. |
Property, Plant and Equipment | Property, Plant and Equipment —Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and include improvements which significantly increase capacities or extend the useful lives of existing plant and equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: land improvements from 10 to 20 years, buildings and improvements from 5 to 30 years, machinery and equipment from 2 to 10 years and furniture and fixtures from 3 to 10 years. Net gains or losses related to asset dispositions are recognized in earnings in the period in which dispositions occur. Routine maintenance, repairs and replacements are expensed as incurred. Amortization expense of assets accounted for as finance leases is included within depreciation expense. Property, plant and equipment is assessed for potential impairment whenever indicators of impairment are present by determining whether the carrying value of the property can be recovered through projected, undiscounted cash flows from future operations over the property’s remaining estimated useful life. Any impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is measured based on quoted market prices in active markets, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, the estimate of fair value is based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future cash flows. |
Debt Issue Costs, Premiums and Discounts | Debt Issuance Costs, Premiums and Discounts —The cost of obtaining financing as well as premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the respective obligations as a component of interest expense within the consolidated statements of income. Debt issuance costs are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liabilities. |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments —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 variable 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 volatility on future interest expense. These agreements involve the receipt of variable 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 U.S. GAAP. The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies, which subjects the Company’s cash flows and results of operations 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. For the interest rate swap and cap agreements and the foreign currency forward contracts designated as 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 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 consolidated statements of income. As the foreign currency forward exchange contracts are used to manage foreign currency exposure primarily arising from purchases or sales from third parties, any gains or losses from the derivative instruments that are reclassified into earnings are recognized in cost of sales or net sales in the consolidated statements of income. |
Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets —In accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” the Company uses the acquisition method of accounting to allocate costs of acquired businesses to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess costs of acquired businesses over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized as goodwill. The valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed will impact the determination of future operating results. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows, revenue growth rates, discount rates, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, asset lives and market multiples, among other items. We determine the fair values of intangible assets acquired generally in consultation with third-party valuation advisors. Fair value adjustments to the Company’s assets and liabilities are recognized and the results of operations of the acquired business are included in our consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the merger or acquisition. Intangible assets other than goodwill are recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed or exchanged, regardless of the Company’s intent to do so. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair value of the net assets of a business acquired. Other intangible assets consist of identifiable intangibles acquired or recognized in accounting for the acquisitions (trademarks, trade names, technology, customer relationships, order backlog and other intangible assets). Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives (i.e., trademarks and trade names) are subject to annual impairment testing. Management determines fair value using a discounted future cash flow analysis or other accepted valuation techniques. The Company performs an annual impairment test for goodwill and other intangible assets as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of each year, or more frequently, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce fair value below current value. At the time of goodwill impairment testing, the Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, and whether it is therefore necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The quantitative goodwill impairment test consists of two steps. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit (as defined) with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired, and the second step of the goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. The second step measures the amount of impairment, if any, by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill associated with a reporting unit to the implied fair value of the goodwill derived from the estimated overall fair value of the reporting unit and the individual fair values of the other assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. U.S. GAAP requires that the annual, and any interim, impairment assessment be performed at the reporting unit level. The reporting unit level is one level below an operating segment. Substantially all goodwill was determined and recognized for each reporting unit pursuant to the accounting for the merger or acquisition as of the date of each transaction. With respect to acquisitions integrated into an existing reporting unit, any acquired goodwill is combined with the goodwill of the reporting unit. The impairment test for indefinite lived intangible assets consists of a comparison between their fair values and carrying values. If the carrying amounts of intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives exceed their fair values, an impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the sum of any such excesses. The Company assesses the recoverability of its amortizable intangible assets only when indicators of impairment are present by determining whether the amortization over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected, undiscounted cash flows from future operations. Amortization of amortizable intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: technology from 20 to 22 years, order backlog from 1 to 1.5 years, customer relationships over 20 years and other intangible assets over 20 years. Refer to Note 1, "Description of the Business and Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic," for further disclosures over the interim and annual impairment procedures performed during fiscal year 2020. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation —The Company records stock-based compensation expense using the Black-Scholes pricing model based on certain valuation assumptions. Compensation expense is recorded over the vesting periods of the stock options. The Company has classified stock-based compensation primarily within selling and administrative expenses to correspond with the classification of employees that receive stock option grants. No expense is recognized for any stock options ultimately forfeited because the recipients fail to meet vesting requirements. The Company also evaluates any subsequent changes to the respective option holders terms under the modification rules of ASC 718. If determined to be a modification, the Black-Scholes pricing model is updated as of the date of the modification resulting in a cumulative catch up to expense. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes —The provision for income taxes is calculated using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax effect of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the amounts used for income tax purposes and for certain changes in valuation allowances. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce certain deferred tax assets when, in our estimation, it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. |
Estimates | Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Comprehensive Income (Loss) —The term “comprehensive income (loss)” represents the change in stockholders’ equity (deficit) from transactions and other events and circumstances resulting from non-stockholder sources. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, consisting principally of fair value adjustments to its interest rate swap and cap agreements (net of tax), cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments and pension liability adjustments (net of tax), is reported separately in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. |
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations | Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions —The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries located outside the United States are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the period. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized currently in income, and those resulting from translation of financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) for the period. Foreign currency gains or losses recognized currently in income from changes in exchange rates were immaterial to our results of operations. |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share —Earnings per share information is determined using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and other securities that participate in dividends (“participating securities”). Our vested stock options are considered “participating securities” because they include non-forfeitable rights to dividends. In applying the two-class method, earnings are allocated to both common stock shares and participating securities based on their respective weighted-average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share information may include the additional effect of other securities, if dilutive, in which case the dilutive effect of such securities is calculated using the treasury stock method. Contingently issuable shares are not included in earnings per share until the period in which the contingency is satisfied; therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same. |
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Pension Benefits —The Company accounts for pension expense using the end of the fiscal year as our measurement date. Management selects appropriate assumptions including the discount rate, rate of increase in future compensation levels and assumed long-term rate of return on plan assets. The assumptions are based upon historical results, the current economic environment and reasonable expectations of future events. Actual results which vary from our assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods, and accordingly, are recognized in expense in these periods. Significant differences between the assumptions and actual experience or significant changes in assumptions could impact the pension costs and the pension obligation. |

[1] | On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously deferred as well as other changes. We recorded tax benefits of $176.4 million related to the remeasurement of our net U.S. deferred tax liabilities to reflect the reduction in the corporate tax rate. We also recorded tax expense of $30.0 million related to the one-time transition tax. |
