✈️ PMA Myth
Myth: "FAA-PMA parts are only for older aircraft."
Fact: FAA-PMA parts are used across fleets of all ages whenever an FAA-approved replacement part is available for that application.
The decision to use a PMA part isn't based on the age of the aircraft—it's based on finding an approved solution that meets operational needs.
Airlines and MROs evaluate factors such as:
✔ FAA approval
✔ Product quality
✔ Availability
✔ Lead times
✔ Supplier performance
✔ Total cost of ownership
Whether an aircraft has been flying for 5 years or 35 years, the objective remains the same: keep it operating safely, efficiently, and reliably.
At Growth Industries, we've been manufacturing FAA-PMA parts since 1975, helping operators around the world strengthen their supply chains with dependable, FAA-approved replacement parts.
As the aviation industry continues to face supply chain challenges, having multiple approved sourcing options has become more valuable than ever.
