Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only fabricate parts for WWII aircraft?

No, we fabricate and manufacture parts for a large variety of legacy to modern aircraft types.

I have a “certified aircraft” but can not obtain original drawings for a replacement part. Can you help me?

Yes, we can reverse engineer and provide assistance working with the FAA and DER’s to obtain the necessary approved data to fabricate most parts.

How long does it take to get a part reverse engineered and fabricated?

Due to the varying complexity of every part it is something that is quantified in the quoting process.

I have the resources capable to fabricate the part, however, I need reverse engineering services.

We cater to our customers needs and can provide individual services upon request.

Can you manufacture PMA parts that are OEM proprietary?

Yes! We do not use Identicality to obtain PMA on OEM proprietary parts. We use another FAA approved method, referred to as Test & Analysis or Test & Computations; which is sometimes referred to as reverse engineering. The part undergoes studies to understand the part function, application and criticality. In addition we capture all necessary dimensions, features and material characteristics of the OEM part from which we will create our own engineering/ production drawing to manufacture the PMA replacement part.
