Basis of Presentation	Note 1.         Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. All adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown are of a normal recurring nature and have been reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The information included in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the B/E Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Note 2.         Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which is intended to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The ASU requires an entity to report, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements, the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in the statement of earnings if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net earnings. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net earnings in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other required disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption of ASU 2013-02, effective January 1, 2013, did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements as there were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income during the period.

Business Combinations	Note 3.         Business Combinations
	During the third quarter of 2013 the Company acquired the assets of Blue Dot Energy Services, LLC (“Blue Dot”), a provider of parts distribution, rental equipment, and on-site services to the oil and gas industry for a net purchase price of $72.5. The acquisition expands the Consumables Management Segment (“CMS”) distribution and logistics business into the oil and gas services industry. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase under FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The assets purchased and liabilities assumed for this acquisition have been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 and the results of operations for this acquisition are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of earnings and comprehensive income from the date of acquisition.
	During 2012, the Company completed two acquisitions for a net aggregate purchase price of approximately $649.7 in cash (“2012 Acquisitions”). The 2012 Acquisitions were accounted for as purchases under ASC 805. The assets purchased and liabilities assumed for the 2012 Acquisitions have been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the results of operations for the 2012 Acquisitions are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income from the respective dates of acquisition.
	On January 30, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of UFC Aerospace Corp. (“UFC”), a provider of complex supply chain management and inventory logistics solutions, for a net purchase price of $404.7.
	On July 26, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of Interturbine Aviation Logistics GmbH, Interturbine Logistics Solutions GmbH and Interturbine Technologies GmbH (collectively “Interturbine”), a provider of material management logistical services to global airlines and maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) providers, for a net purchase price of $245.0. Interturbine’s product range includes chemicals, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, adhesives, coatings and composites. Interturbine also supplies fasteners, cables and wires, electronic components, electrical and electromechanical materials, tools, hot bonding equipment and ground equipment to its primary customer base of airlines and MRO providers globally.
	The Company completed its evaluation and allocation of the purchase price for the UFC acquisition during the period ended December 31, 2012. The Company completed its evaluation and allocation of the purchase price for the Interturbine acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2013 which resulted in a $4.6 increase in goodwill. The Company has not yet completed its allocation of the purchase price for the Blue Dot acquisition as the valuation of certain assets and liabilities is not yet complete. The preliminary fair value of tangible assets, intangible assets, and assumed liabilities were $40.5, $40.9, and $8.9, respectively, comprising the net purchase price of $72.5.
	The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the UFC and Interturbine acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, which are recorded based on management’s estimates as follows:
	Accounts receivable-trade	$	44.1
	Inventories		95.6
	Other current and non-current assets		16.7
	Property and equipment		4.4
	Goodwill		462.9
	Identified intangibles		114.3
	Accounts payable		(20.4	)
	Other current and non-current liabilities		(67.9	)
	Total purchase price	$	649.7
	The majority of the goodwill and other intangible assets related to the UFC and Blue Dot acquisitions is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. None of the goodwill and other intangible assets related to the Interturbine acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
	Consolidated unaudited pro forma revenues, net earnings and net earnings per diluted share, giving effect to the UFC and Interturbine acquisitions for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, as if they had occurred on January 1, 2011, were $776.5, $20.7, and $0.20, and $2,369.2, $165.8 and $1.61, respectively. The Company has begun transferring legacy UFC and Interturbine customers into its consumables management segment systems. As a result, it is not practicable to report stand-alone revenues and operating earnings of the acquired businesses since the respective acquisition dates. Blue Dot pro forma revenues, net earnings, and net earnings per diluted share as well as post acquisition stand-alone revenues and operating earnings are not material to the Company’s financial statements.

Inventories

Inventories	Note 4.         Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using FIFO or the weighted average cost method. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. In accordance with industry practice, costs in inventory include amounts relating to long-term contracts with long production cycles and inventory items with long procurement cycles, some of which are not expected to be realized within one year. Work-in-process inventories include costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and excess over average costs on long-term contracts. Finished goods inventories primarily consist of aerospace fasteners. Inventories consist of the following:
		30-Sep-13		31-Dec-12
	Purchased materials and component parts	$	240.3	$	186.3
	Work-in-process		450.8		371.8

			30-Sep-13
		Useful					Net

	Trade names	Indefinite		41.1		-		41.1
			$	633.2	$	171.7	$	461.5
	Amortization expense associated with identifiable intangible assets was approximately $7.5 and $7.4 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $22.6 and $21.2 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company currently expects to recognize amortization expense of approximately $30 in each of the next five fiscal years. The future amortization amounts are estimates. Actual future amortization expense may be different due to future acquisitions, impairments, changes in amortization periods or other factors. The Company expenses costs to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset. Goodwill increased $61.0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of our preliminary estimate of goodwill associated with the Blue Dot acquisition, partially offset by foreign currency translations.

LongTerm_Debt

Long-Term Debt	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Long-Term Debt	Note 6.         Long-Term Debt
	In March 2012, the Company issued $500.0 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2022 (the “5.25% Notes”), in an offering pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company. In July 2012, the Company issued $800.0 additional 5.25% Notes, at an effective yield of 4.9% as an add-on to the existing 5.25% Notes. During 2012, the Company redeemed $600.0 of its 8.5% senior unsecured notes due 2018 (the “8.5% Notes”). The Company incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $82.1 related to unamortized debt issue costs and fees and expenses related to the repurchase of its 8.5% Notes.
	As of September 30, 2013, long-term debt consisted of $1,300.0 aggregate principal amount ($1,314.1 inclusive of original issue premium) of its 5.25% Notes, which had an effective yield of approximately 5.0%, and $650.0 aggregate principal amount ($645.5 net of original issue discount) of 6.875% senior unsecured notes due 2020 (the “6.875% Notes). The Company also has a $950.0 revolving credit facility pursuant to an amended and restated credit agreement dated as of August 3, 2012, (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), none of which was drawn at September 30, 2013.
	Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) plus 200 basis points or Prime (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) plus 100 basis points. If drawn, as of September 30, 2013, the rate under the Revolving Credit Facility would have been approximately 2.25%.
	Letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility aggregated $7.2 at September 30, 2013 ($11.6 at December 31, 2012).
	The Revolving Credit Facility contains an interest coverage ratio financial covenant (as defined therein) that must be maintained at a level greater than 2.0 to 1 and a total leverage ratio covenant (as defined therein) which limits net debt to a 4.25 to 1 multiple of EBITDA (as defined therein). The Revolving Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets and contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and conditions precedent for borrowings, all of which were met as of September 30, 2013.

Fair_Value_Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Fair Value Measurements	Note 7.         Fair Value Measurements
	All financial instruments are carried at amounts that approximate estimated fair value. The fair value is the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. Assets measured at fair value are categorized based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations.
	Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	Level 2 – quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (which the Company classifies as Level 1 assets), accounts receivable – trade and accounts payable represent their respective fair values due to their short- term nature. There was no debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2013. The fair value of the Company’s senior notes, based on market prices for publicly-traded debt (which the Company classifies as Level 2 inputs), was $2,013.6 and $2,103.8 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements	Note 8.         Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
	Lease Commitments – The Company finances its use of certain facilities and equipment under committed lease arrangements provided by various institutions. Since the terms of these arrangements meet the accounting definition of operating lease arrangements, the aggregate sum of future minimum lease payments is not reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2013, future minimum lease payments under these arrangements approximated $320.2, the majority of which related to long-term real estate leases.
	Litigation – The Company is a defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business, the outcomes of which, in the opinion of management, neither individually nor in the aggregate, are likely to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Indemnities, Commitments and Guarantees – During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include non-infringement of patents and intellectual property indemnities to the Company’s customers in connection with the delivery, design, manufacture and sale of its products, indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, and indemnities to other parties to certain acquisition agreements. The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases is indefinite. Many of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees provide for limitations on the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. However, the Company is unable to estimate the maximum amount of liability related to its indemnities, commitments and guarantees because such liabilities are contingent upon the occurrence of events that are not reasonably determinable. Management believes that any liability for these indemnities, commitments and guarantees would not be material to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, no significant amounts have been accrued for indemnities, commitments and guarantees.
	Product Warranty Costs – Estimated costs related to product warranties are accrued at the time products are sold. In estimating its future warranty obligations, the Company considers various relevant factors, including the Company’s stated warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims and the cost to replace or repair its products under warranty.

Accounting_for_StockBased_Comp

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation	Note 9.         Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
	The Company has a Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) under which the Company’s Compensation Committee has the authority to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other forms of equity-based or equity-related awards.
	Compensation cost generally is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the shares. Share-based compensation of $5.5 and $16.6, and $6.0 and $17.9 was recognized during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the equity grants made pursuant to the LTIP. Unrecognized compensation expense related to equity grants, including the estimated impact of any future forfeitures, was $34.1 at September 30, 2013.
	The Company has established a qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan which allows qualified employees (as defined in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the closing price at the end of each semi-annual stock purchase period. Compensation cost for this plan was not material to any of the periods presented.

Segment_Reporting

Segment Reporting	Note 10.         Segment Reporting
	The Company is organized based on the products and services it offers. The Company’s reportable segments, which are also its operating segments, are comprised of commercial aircraft, consumables management and business jet.
	The Company has six reporting units, which were determined based on materiality and on the guidelines contained in FASB ASC Topic 350, Subtopic 20, Section 35. Each reporting unit represents either (a) an operating segment (which is also a reportable segment) or (b) a component of an operating segment, which constitutes a business, for which there is discrete financial information available that is regularly reviewed by segment management.
	The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment operating earnings or losses. Each segment regularly reports its results of operations and makes requests for capital expenditures and acquisition funding to the Company’s chief operating decision-making group. This group is comprised of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the President and Chief Operating Officer, and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Each operating segment has separate management teams and infrastructures dedicated to providing a full range of products and services to their commercial, business jet, military, MRO, aircraft leasing, aircraft manufacturing and logistics customers.
	The Company has not included product line information due to the similarity of commercial aircraft segment product offerings and the impracticality of determining such information and the similarity of the product offerings and services for the consumables management segment.

Net_Earnings_Per_Common_Share

Net Earnings Per Common Share	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Net Earnings Per Common Share	Note 11.         Net Earnings Per Common Share
	Basic net earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per common share is computed by using the weighted average common shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of stock options, shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and restricted shares based on an average share price during the period. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, approximately 0.1 and 0.3 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, were excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per common share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive (none for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012). The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are as follows:
		THREE MONTHS ENDED				NINE MONTHS ENDED
		SEPTEMBER 30,				SEPTEMBER 30,

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes	Note 12.         Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
	In accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $40.2 and $32.1, respectively, of net unrecognized tax benefits. This liability, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company is currently open to audit by the tax authorities for the six years ended December 31, 2012. There are currently no material income tax audits in progress.
	The Company classifies interest and penalties related to income tax as income tax expense. The amount included in the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits for interest and penalties was less than $2.0 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
	Income tax expense in the nine month period of 2013 reflects the recognition of our 2012 R&D credit resulting from the recently enacted tax legislation in January 2013, and which benefited diluted earnings per share for the period by approximately $0.03 per diluted share. Our expected effective tax rate for 2013, which includes the impact of current and prior year research and development tax credits as well as other tax planning initiatives, is approximately 28.0%.
