REPAIRING AN AIRCRAFT CAN BE INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE
and whether you are working to repair your company's or a
customer's aircraft, knowing you have options when it comes to
repairing an avionics or airframe part can give a huge cost savings
to the aircraft owner. There are several options in the industry
to find PMA certified parts saving your customer money and in
extreme cases adding up to $140,000 or more.
These PMA parts options are primarily for airframe parts that
have been engineered and made available by the companies hold-
ing the PMA. These parts meet FAA regulations and can give you
and your customers a significant cost savings. Although the use
of PMA parts can save money, be sure to check any warranties
or programs the aircraft may be on to see if using these parts
will void any warranties.
JUST BECAUSE YOUR AIRPLANE'S BROKE
DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE
Knowing you have options when it comes to repairing an avionics
or airframe part can give a huge cost savings to the aircra owner
