Services
- Lower cost of the replacement component.
- Surplus Market is largely controlled by the OEM. New part costs rising on average 4-8% per annum.
- Availability of the component. Very limited alternatives approved.
- Access to design data of the component.
- Greater responsiveness from PMA holder than from OEM
- More control over future PMA cost than with OEM
- All certified facilities and anyone authorised under 14CFR 43 to maintain, overhaul & repair U.S. certified products may use PMA parts for the replacement or modification of these products
- PMA parts can be used if the work is done by an FAA approved facility (FAR 145) for an N-Registered A/C or
- If PMA parts are used on Non N-Registered A/C, the facility must obtain permission from the owner and the cognisant NAA
EASA-DOA approvals of design changes or repairs/alterations support (Data package preparation for submittal to EASA direct approval).
EASA-DOA (Design Organisation Approval) repair is equivalent to FAA-DER in EASA/JAA environment (JAR 21). DOA has delegated authority by EASA to classify and approve major/minor design changes or repairs. DOA is specific to EASA repair station or to an operator.
In the absence of EASA-DOA approval authority, our engineers can prepare the major repairs/design changes with substantiating data for submittal to EASA for direct approval. On FAA-DER approved minor repairs or design changes are automatic acceptance of data by EASA which is in force since Dec 2004 (EASA Decision No. 2004/04/CF 10 Dec 2004).
PMA parts development & PMA design data approvals in Engine, APU?s and Nacelle components.
PMA is the FAA definition for Parts Manufacturing Approval. Allows a PMA facility to manufacture a part normally made by an OEM approved source. Allows facility to issue an FAA Form 8130-3 release which identifies it as a PMA part.
PMA parts are used for the following benefits:
