Streamlined PMA Guidance – Comment Deadline is Approaching

Don’t forget that the deadline for submitting comments on the FAA’s DRAFT Order “Streamlined Process for Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA)” is just a week away (March 20).

This DRAFT order would recognize the MARPA standard for preparing packages for certain non-complex PMAs, and would provide a mechanism for potentially obtaining expedited review of such packages.  This is a win for industry, because it should speed up the review process for certain non-complex PMAs; it is also a win for the FAA because it should free-up valuable staff resources to focus on more complex PMA packages whose safety-sensitivity causes them to require more staff review resources.
