I never said or inferred any such thing.
It's not nice to fib.

It seems important, because you may well not have inferred as above but it looks to me like you might have implied it.

Dictionary: in·fer (ĭn-fûr')
v., -ferred, -fer·ring, -fers.
v.tr.
1.To conclude from evidence or premises.
2.To reason from circumstance; surmise: We can infer that his motive in publishing the diary was less than honorable.
3.To lead to as a consequence or conclusion: "Socrates argued that a statue inferred the existence of a sculptor" (Academy).
4.To hint; imply.
Despite its long history, many 20th-century usage guides condemn the use, maintaining that the proper word for the intended sense is imply and that to use infer is to lose a valuable distinction between the two words.

Now I'll mention the NTSB...
On 9111 their role was to provide technical support to the FBI in its criminal investigation. FBI brought NTSB the recorders from UA 93 (from Shanksville, PA) and AA 77 (from Arlington, VA). NTSB helped with recovery and identified plane parts at the clean-up sites.
I was researching something else and found this. Thought I would share.

Now, back to my eariler post which seemed to be ignored.

Here is a picture of them doing just that on the Pentagon lawn.
This is from a video made by firemen on the scene the evening of 9/11 (obtained via FOIA by yours truly). So I guess the answer to the OP question is the evening of 9/11.
Merry Christmas!

I must be having trouble downloading the part of the video where they matched serial numbers to those recorded as belonging to AA77.
Want to try again?

No, because if you don't understand the phrase, "identified plane parts", then you would not get anything else said. The OP, "When did they ID AA77's parts?". I just answered it. Now go play your mind games with someone who can't.

The FBI agents were specifically ordered to concentrate on pieces of debris
with serial numbers on them to preserve evidence

probably matched some of the major pieces - upcoming terrorism trials
may reveal more evidence.
Like during Moussaoui trial

No offense but I cannot settle for probably or may.
It is not because I am demanding either. It is because people are running rampant on ATS claiming it either already happened but cannot prove it or that it did not need to happen. I hope you see how this gets confusing.

You know, it really does not matter what you 'settle for'. This is an internet forum where people promote wacky conspiracy theories for what ever reasons suit them. No matter what evidence is presented, if it does not fit in with someone's 'belief', they won't 'settle for' it.
You asked when they id'ed the plane. I presented the statement from the NTSB that they assisted the FBI with plane part identification in the case flight 77.
I then posted a video independent of that statement which showed them working on that on the evening of 9/11 on the Pentagon lawn.
That is the best you are going to get. There are pending criminal cases and you are not an attorney for one of the defendants, so you have no right to the evidence logs. The last I checked, the FBI does not not respond to the whims of internet CT folks (nor should they).

By the way, chill with the PM's. They are not wanted.
Federal Defendant has determined that there are no responsive records. The identities of the airplanes hijacked in the September 11 attacks was never in question, and, therefore, there were no records generated “revealing the process by which wreckage recovered by defendant, from aircraft used during the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, was positively identified by defendant . . . as belonging to said aircraft . . .” (Amend Compl. Inj. Relief #15 at 1.)"
The only other instance of undocumented FDR serial numbers following a major U.S. commercial aircraft crash within U.S. territory during this 20 year period, seems to be a little known mishap that oddly, occurred on September 11, 1991, exactly 10 years before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. This report also did not list a FDR manufacturer or model number, possibly because the accident was immediately determined to be the result of negligence on the part of aircraft maintenance personnel.
"The identities of the airplanes hijacked in the September 11 attacks was never in question"
