From a brilliant idea, a service complaint, or a serious need — ANB Aviation Parts, LLC guides customers from concept through FAA approval and into production. Our qualified staff are ready to deliver PMA and owner-operator solutions depending on your specific need.
A Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) is an FAA authorization that allows a company to manufacture and sell replacement or modification parts for type-certificated aircraft. PMA parts must meet the same airworthiness standards as OEM parts — and in many cases, exceed them.
ANB Aviation Parts holds FAA PMA approval PQ1730CE, authorizing us to design, manufacture, and sell replacement parts for a wide range of commercial, regional, and general aviation aircraft platforms — all made in the USA.
"The PMA process begins with a brilliant idea, a service complaint, or a serious need. ANB Aviation Parts, LLC staff are well qualified to provide FAA-PMA part and owner-operator solutions depending on customer need."
Whether you need a cost-effective replacement for an overpriced OEM part, a solution for an obsolete component, or an improved design that addresses a recurring service issue — ANB has a path forward for you.
From first conversation to parts on the shelf — here is exactly how ANB takes a customer need through to FAA-approved production.
The PMA process typically begins with a conversation with one of our technical directors. During this phase we identify your specific issue and explore all the options available to achieve the results you are looking for. There are no wrong questions — whether you have a vague idea or a fully defined part need, we help shape the path forward.
Improving an outdated design or providing cost savings over ever-increasing OEM prices — ANB is ready to provide solutions. Our team conducts thorough material analysis, plans the manufacturing approach, and applies specialized processes to engineer a replacement or improved component.
Our team, through various demonstrations, must show the FAA that our design meets or exceeds all safety standards set forth. This portion varies according to the complexity of the part in question. We rely only on the most up-to-date techniques and tests to ensure we are providing the best quality, conformity, and airworthiness.
Ultimately, we seek approval from the FAA prior to production. This approval is granted when the FAA is satisfied that the proposed part has been fully vetted to meet the requirements of the design. No part enters production until this milestone is achieved — your assurance that every ANB part is fully certified and airworthy before it reaches your aircraft.
From concept to completion, you can be assured that our parts meet or exceed the OEM standard. Material analysis, manufacturing, and specialized processes give our customers a real path to success — with resolution of supply chain shortage, excessive cost, and concern over current supplier quality. Once in production, ANB parts are never back-ordered.
PMA isn't a shortcut — it's a smarter path. Here's why operators choose ANB PMA parts over OEM.
FAA-PMA parts must meet the exact same airworthiness requirements as the OEM part. The FAA reviews and approves every design before a single unit is produced. You get identical safety — not a compromise.
Without OEM brand premiums, global supply chain markups, and layers of distributor margins, ANB PMA parts deliver average savings of 50% or more — directly improving your maintenance budget on every order.
OEMs routinely discontinue parts or let inventory run thin. ANB stocks everything it holds PMA on — so when you need a part, it ships. No back orders, no long lead times, no grounded aircraft waiting on a supplier.
When an OEM stops supporting a part entirely, operators have no options — unless they have ANB. We reverse-engineer and certify PMA solutions for parts that the OEM has discontinued, keeping legacy fleets flying.
PMA isn't just about replacing a part — it's an opportunity to fix one. When an OEM design has a recurring service issue, ANB can engineer an improved solution that eliminates the problem entirely, as we did with our PPG windshield AD elimination.
Every ANB part is designed and manufactured in the United States — meaning tighter quality control, full domestic supply chain visibility, and parts you can trust from material to delivery.
Whether you're an airline, a regional carrier, a charter operator, or a maintenance facility — ANB has a PMA solution that fits your operation.
Operating aging turboprop fleets where OEM support has become expensive or unreliable? ANB specializes in the Metro, Merlin, Beech 1900, King Air, EMB-120, and other regional platforms — with PMA parts always in stock and priced at 50%+ below OEM.
Maintenance facilities looking to reduce parts costs and eliminate AOG delays caused by OEM back orders. ANB PMA parts ship with full 8130-3 documentation, ready to install — backed by the World Class Aviation family's 365,000+ part inventory for everything else you need.
If you're facing a recurring part failure, an obsolete OEM component, or a design issue driving up maintenance costs — ANB can turn that problem into an FAA-approved PMA solution. Bring us the issue; we'll engineer the fix.
Have a part you've always thought could be improved? An owner-operator solution allows you to sponsor the PMA development of a part based on your firsthand operational experience — and benefit from the resulting cost savings and improved performance.
The process begins with a single conversation. Reach out to our technical team — describe your part, your platform, and your problem. We'll tell you what's possible and how to get there.
