approval for replacement or modification articles. It authorizes a manufacturer to produce and sell approved articles for eligible type-certificated aircraft, engines, or propellers.
What PMA Catalog Records Contain
The catalog below organizes PMA parts by part number, part name, approval holder, and applicable aircraft make or model when available. Individual records may also identify a PMA supplement number and date, replacement number, responsible FAA office, and approval basis.
Buyers who know the approval holder can narrow the database through the PMA parts manufacturers directory. Related platform records are organized within the commercial aviation directory.
How to Verify a PMA Part
PMA status does not mean an article is approved for every aircraft or engine. Eligibility is tied to the products, makes, and models identified by the approval. Before procurement or installation, confirm:
Complete PMA part number and revision.
PMA holder name and supplement details.
Eligible aircraft, engine, or propeller make and model.
Replacement-for or reference part number.
Approval basis and applicable technical data.
Required airworthiness, traceability, and conformity records.
Compare these details with the FAA PMA listing, Illustrated Parts Catalog, maintenance manual, engineering data, and operator procedures. Also verify aircraft model, variant, serial-number effectivity, installed configuration, and modification status.
PMA Approval and Installation Eligibility
PMA confirms approved design and production authority for the specified article. It does not independently establish that a catalog listing is currently available, accompanied by every required document, or eligible for a different installation. Similar descriptions or replacement references should not be treated as proof of interchangeability.
Request PMA Aircraft Parts
Select a relevant record and submit an RFQ with the PMA part number, approval holder or manufacturer, quantity, condition, aircraft or engine model, delivery deadline, and documentation requirements. ASAP Aerospace can then review sourcing options, price, lead time, and available records. Catalog presence does not confirm current stock or installation approval.
