As a stocking
distributor for many different manufacturers, including those that
manufacture PMA replacement parts, we are often asked about PMA parts. A
PMA part is a replacement part that has undergone an extensive review
process and received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.
|
|
|
|
The Letters PMA stand for
Parts Manufacturer Approval, and when a manufacturer stamps its parts with the letters
FAA-PMA it means... |
|
|
 |
Each part will be permanently
and legibly marked with the letters "FAA-PMA", the part number,
the name or trademark of the manufacturer, and the name and model of
aircraft on which the part may be installed. (FAR 45.15) |
|
|
|
|
The FAA regularly inspects the
facilities and has approved the company's internal Fabrication Inspection
System (FIS). (FAR 21.303,e) |
|
|
|
|
That each part has been
manufactured to the print and passed both in-process and final inspections
before shipment to you. (FAR 21.303,h) |
|
|
|
|
That the manufacturer's print
cannot be changed without the approval of the FAA (FAR 21.303,e,2) |
|
|
|
|
The parts are fully
interchangeable with the OEM part as outlined on the PMA supplement
whether it is an identical part or a modification part. (FAR 21.303,d,1) |
|
|
|
|
That each part meets the
airworthiness requirements of the FAA - e. g. flammability, toxicity,
hardness, corrosion-resistance, etc. (FAR 21.303,d,1 and FAR 25.653) |
|
|
|
|
That each part is completely
traceable. From the raw material, processing, treatments, finishes,
plating, inspection- each step is documented and filed with the dated work
order, should a problem ever arise. (FAR 21.303,h,9) |

|
All FAA-PMA parts
stocked by LKD Aerospace have a PMA Supplement document in our system and
are available for viewing online at www.Lkdaerospace.com. |
