For MROs

Part 145 Certification and Continuing Compliance

Becoming a Part 145 repair station is hard. Staying one is the actual work. Capability lists evolve, technicians come and go, audits cycle through, and the FAA expects every change to be traceable. CIQ gives MROs the workspace to manage both.

Part 145 Certification

Initial Part 145 certification, and every capability expansion afterward, requires a Repair Station Manual, Quality Control Manual, training program, capability list, and a documented housing and equipment basis. CIQ structures these artifacts and keeps them in sync as you grow.

What this supports

  • Initial Part 145 application and FAA coordination
  • Repair Station Manual and Quality Control Manual development
  • Capability list buildout with substantiation evidence
  • Training program design and recordkeeping
  • Housing, equipment, and tooling justification
  • OpSpec amendments and capability expansions

How we work with you

01

Scope and gap analysis

Map your intended ratings and capabilities to Part 145 requirements. Identify the documentation, training, and equipment work needed before submission.

02

Build the manuals and capability list

Develop the RSM, QCM, training program, and capability list with substantiation. Each item is traceable to the underlying procedures, equipment, and trained personnel.

03

Coordinate with the FAA

Manage submission packages, FAA correspondence, and finding closures in a structured way that survives across audits and team changes.

Faster path from intent to FAA approval
Audit-ready documentation from day one
Capability list that stays in sync with substantiation as you expand
Reduced FAA finding cycles through cleaner submissions

Ongoing Compliance

Once certified, the work is staying certified. CIQ tracks training currency, calibrated tooling, capability changes, internal audit findings, and FAA inspection cycles continuously, so the next audit isn't a fire drill.

What this supports

  • Annual self-audit and FAA surveillance preparation
  • Technician training and currency tracking
  • Tooling calibration and equipment substantiation
  • Capability list and OpSpec maintenance
  • Internal audit, finding, and corrective-action workflows
  • Contract maintenance provider oversight
Continuous audit readiness across surveillance and renewal cycles
One current record across DOM, QA, and operations
Earlier visibility into expiring training, tooling, and OpSpec items
Cleaner findings, faster closures

Marketplace

The Marketplace is the aviation sourcing workspace built for MROs sourcing parts, services, and qualified personnel, focused on MRO, DER, DAR, and ODA services, STC kits, and aircraft parts.

Documentation-first intake

Start with the aircraft, part, release paperwork, and compliance context a provider needs before it can respond usefully.

Sourcing preparation

Replace scattered outreach with a structured package that separates confirmed requirements from open questions.

Integrated workflows

Marketplace activity ties back into your CIQ workspace so selected paths can be connected to project records and compliance evidence.

Provider-fit signals

Use records and certification context to decide which conversations are worth opening, without assuming availability or guaranteed matches.
