PMA Parts Finder software

The database presently contains all PMA's formerly published by the FAA (About 400,000 items), plus about 50,000 listings obtained from other sources mainly PMA supplement

The data is indexed for search by various criteria.  You can search for PMA approved parts by OEM or PMA P/N, name, aircraft/engine/propeller of installation, or PMA holder.  You can search for holders by name, city, state, etc.  The PMA Parts Finder also tracks PMA ownership transfers substituting new holder names and addresses for the original FAA listings.

The PMA Parts Finder CD contains FAR's and FAA orders and bilateral agreements pertinent to the PMA industry.  There are also all TSO's, interactive FAA forms (Meaning you can fill them out on screen and print them), 9,000 PMA supplement sheets and about 1,000 pages of manufacturer data such as parts and price lists, catalogs, etc.

The PMA Holder database contains names and addresses of all known PMA holders including phone, FAX, EMail and web contact information for many entries. 

Functions exist for matching externally generated parts lists against those of the PMA Parts Finder.  You can find all PMA equivalents to your list of OEM parts or you can find PMA equivalents to your list of PMA parts.

The PMA Parts Finder is a relational database implementation of all known FAA PMA, Canadian PDA, and Australian APMA parts.  Data is derived from the FAA PMA and Canadian MOT data supplemented with additional listings derived from many other sources.  You can search for parts by part name, OEM or PMA part number, aircraft and/or model of installation, approval authority, etc.  You can create and then merge various lists to create specific groupings or "query on query" capabilities.  PMA holder lists can be output to printed lists, commaor quote-mark delimited mail merge files or to any one of 150 English or metric Avery brand mailing labels.
