A method of assembling a turbine engine stator comprising a plurality of vanes, each of the plurality of vanes having a camber angle, the method comprising the steps of: (a) selecting a group of vanes based on the camber angle of each of the plurality of vanes; (b) selecting a nominally cambered vane; (c) positioning at least one over-cambered vane (124,126) on a first side of the nominally cambered vane and at least one under-cambered vane (128,129) on an opposite, second side of the nominally cambered vane, each of the nominally cambered vane and an endmost of each of the undercambered and overcambered vanes (128,124) in a group of vanes has a respective inspection feature (180,184,182), each inspection feature (180,184,182) having a length; (d) repeating steps (a) to (c) to form a plurality of groups of vanes (170; and (e) positioning the groups of vanes in a pre-determined order such that each group of vanes is positioned at a predefined circumferential position in the assembled stator stage; (f) measuring the length and circumferential position of each of the inspection features (180,184,182); (g) identifying the nominally cambered vane, and the undercambered and overcambered vanes (128,124) at respective opposite ends of the sequence of vanes in each group on the basis of the length of the respective inspection feature (180,184,182); (h) confirming that the circumferential position of each of the nominally cambered vanes and the overcambered and undercambered end vanes (124,128) in each group matches the corresponding predefined circumferential position; and (i) confirming that the sequence of vanes in each group matches the respective pre-determined sequence on the basis of the quantities of overcambered and undercambered vanes (124,126; 128,129) which are present on respective opposite sides of the nominally cambered vane.
