PMA Myth
"PMA parts are lower quality than OEM parts."
False.
FAA-PMA parts must meet the same airworthiness requirements as OEM parts before approval.
In many cases, PMA manufacturers identify opportunities to improve durability, availability, or lead times while maintaining FAA compliance.
After 50+ years supporting commercial aviation, we've seen PMA parts help airlines reduce costs while maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability.
What is the biggest misconception you hear about PMA parts?
