A spark plug that looks clean can be more dangerous than one caked in lead fouling. Visual inspection alone misses micro-fractures in the ceramic that only show up under a magnifying glass or during a resistance check. Tempest Aero recommends measuring internal resistance on every plug at every inspection, not just looking at the electrode. If you're not testing, you're guessing. Contact us to talk directly with the manufacturer about proper spark plug care.

Frequent landings and repetitive circuit operations in flight school aircraft lead to higher brake wear. This isn't just about the number of landings, but the heat stress on welded brake discs, which are prone to cracking. Our BlackSteel® brake discs are CNC machined from a one-piece forging, eliminating the weak weld seam found in inferior designs. This superior construction offers high resistance to corrosion and significantly reduces the risk of cracking and catastrophic failure, meaning you may be replacing brake discs twice as often as necessary.

Are you defaulting to factory new parts and inflating your MRO budget? That assumption alone can increase costs by 30–40% unnecessarily. The real question is whether the part's traceability and certification match your specific maintenance program's requirements. OEM, PMA, and surplus parts each have valid approval pathways; the mistake is defaulting to the most expensive option out of habit.

That fire-safety update? Now audit your proof:

When the regulatory basis changes, our operators’ challenge isn’t the “system”—it’s the documentation trail.

Quick audit checklist:
- Confirm the latest airworthiness/fire-protection basis used in your acceptance records.
- Verify BOM/part traceability to the exact installed fire-protection components (by part number and applicability).
- Check whether replacement/repair substantiation needs updating for the new requirement.
- Ensure storage/repair records still support traceability through lifecycle actions.
- Flag any “mismatched” parts now, before maintenance planning turns into aircraft downtime.

Need matching approved components fast? Use APS factory-new distribution for direct supply or our surplus shop when budget matters—both with worldwide shipping and support in 6 languages.

That “Can we get a quote?” email thread can’t keep an aircraft on schedule.

We built the APS Surplus Parts WebApp for speed and clarity: search inventory, review the part details, add items to your request/cart, then send a one-click RFQ. No endless back-and-forth. Just surplus stock sourcing that moves when your operation needs it.

If you’re chasing availability from surplus, start with “Shop surplus parts” and send your RFQ today.

Some partnerships just quietly become part of how you keep aircraft flying.

For us, McFarlane Aviation Products is exactly that.

McFarlane has been our premium supplier for nearly 25 years. This relationship goes back to the very beginning of APS – and even before PMA parts were really “a thing” in general aviation.

What’s always stood out to us is their mindset:

• improving legacy parts instead of just copying them
• listening carefully to mechanics and operators
• putting safety and reliability ahead of shortcuts

Dave McFarlane built the company as his life’s work. We’re proud to have grown alongside a partner with that level of dedication, and it’s good to see his legacy continuing in the way McFarlane operates today.

If you’d like a look behind the scenes at what makes them different, this interview is well worth your time:

“That lead time just went sideways.”
We know maintenance teams feel it fast: one backlog can ripple into inspections, line checks, and turnarounds.

With APS’s extensive OEM + PMA supplier network, you can keep the same part specification while switching supply paths when a single channel slows down. If distribution pricing is the priority, we route through distribution. If cost control is the priority, we route to qualified surplus options.

More options means fewer “wait-and-see” days—and more schedule reliability when parts availability shifts.

Waiting on factory-new lead times is how lines idle. We see it when the part is “easy” on paper—and hard to find in real stock.

Our APS Surplus Parts WebApp is built for the parts that stall your plan: hard-to-find consignment/surplus spares.
Search surplus on-hand in minutes, filter by part number/availability, verify quantities, then send an RFQ for confirmed matches and cost-effective PMA alternatives.

Stop PO hopes. Start with surplus.
