Need Help with FAA PMA Certification? Prime Propulsion Has You Covered

Need FAA PMA Certification Help? Here’s How Prime Propulsion Can Guide You Through the Process.

Navigating the FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) process can be overwhelming—especially for companies looking to certify new or repaired aerospace components.

At Prime Propulsion, we simplify the path to FAA PMA certification with proven expertise, insider knowledge, and end-to-end support.

Whether you're starting with an existing repair process or building a PMA package from scratch, we help you move confidently from concept to compliance.

Why PMA Certification Matters

FAA PMA certification allows you to legally produce and sell aircraft parts as approved replacements for original components. It’s a powerful opportunity to:

• Reduce dependency on OEMs

• Increase aftermarket revenue

• Improve lead times and part availability

• Compete in both domestic and international aviation markets

But achieving PMA approval requires strict adherence to FAA regulations—especially under 14 CFR Part 21, Subpart K. That’s where Prime Propulsion comes in.

What Makes Prime Propulsion Different?

We’re not just consultants—we’re partners in your certification journey. Here’s what sets us apart:

✔ In-House FAA DER Expertise

Our internal Designated Engineering Representative (DER) has deep experience with the FAA’s certification process. This allows us to rapidly assess feasibility and reduce delays through early engineering approvals.

✔ Experience in DER-to-PMA Conversions

If you’re already performing FAA-approved repairs under a DER authorization, we can evaluate and convert your process into a marketable PMA solution. We’ve helped clients expand their repair capabilities into revenue-generating PMA production lines.

✔ Streamlined Documentation & Compliance

From Conformity Inspection planning to test data packages and Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA), we manage every document needed for your PMA submission—organized and audit-ready.

✔ Regulatory Navigation

We work directly with FAA ACOs and MIDO offices, coordinating your application, test plans, and project timeline so you don’t have to.
