Cut down wait times, and get in the air quicker. Working with a Designated Engineering Representative (DER) helps expedite your engine or powerplant technical data approval process. Making modifications and repairs to an aircraft is a delicate responsibility. When it involves powerplants and engines, you want to be precise. That is why the FAA only appoints Designated Engineering Representatives with specialized knowledge. From powerplant engineering to Engine engineering and beyond, We are here to help you navigate the FAA certification process. Let’s take a deeper look at how you can benefit by working with a DER.
Performing certifications approvals on behalf of the FAA can not be done by just anyone. Having extensive technical knowledge, an engineering degree and at least 8 years of advanced engineering experience are only a few of the requirements set by the FAA to become a DER. For this reason, DER’s are often highly specialized in fields like maintenance, aircraft engineering, and manufacturing. Save downtown and stay on schedule by working with a DER that can provide Approval Authority via 8110-3.
FAA DER: Powerplant & Engines
Technical safety compliance and FAA regulations are constantly evolving. An FAA DER that specializes in Engines and Powerplants looks at the safety and airworthiness of an aircraft as a whole. Because the FAA approval process is tough (as it should be), you want the assistance of an FAA-certified DER that can help you navigate the landscape. It’s more than dealing with bureaucratic red tape, your DER helps manage the process and reduce waste due to extensive waiting times.
FAA Aircraft Certification
Aircraft certifications are all about managing risk. Whether it be an Engine or Powerplant certification, a qualified DER can help ensure that your aircraft meets the FAA safety guidelines. Being FAA certified means that the design and overall safety level of an aircraft meets the requirements to fly.
The Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) Process
You already understand that replacement parts in aviation are taken very seriously. Ensuring that part has been reviewed, and then reviewed again is critical. Qualified FAA DER’s can assist with an extensive review procedure that ensures your product is equal to or better than the OEM. You will feel proud to make the part with “FAA-PMA”.
Aerospace Certification Projects Made Simple
An FAA-certified DER is also responsible for the accuracy and completeness of technical documentation. It goes beyond ensuring that aircraft parts adhere to the previously approved design. It encompasses certifying that both parts and the documentation all conform to FAA guidelines. From the examination to testing and even inspection, FAA certified DER’s take on a comprehensive role to ensure the overall aircraft is safe to fly.
