For PMA Part Suppliers
Substantiate the PMA
Most PMA delays come from one place: substantiation that is incomplete, inconsistent, or not organized in a way the FAA can quickly accept. CIQ structures the substantiation, the quality system, and the submission so the FAA reviewer reaches the same conclusion you did.
PMA substantiation typically follows one of two paths: identicality (with or without a licensing agreement) or test and computation. CIQ supports both — keeping the design data, test results, analysis, and conformity records linked to the article they substantiate.
What this supports
- Identicality substantiation, with or without licensing agreement
- Test and computation substantiation
- Design data control and revision history
- Quality Control Manual and supplier qualification
- Conformity inspections and First Article Inspection records
- FAA submission package preparation and finding closures
How we work with you
Choose and structure the substantiation path
Identify the appropriate basis (identicality vs. test and computation), and structure the underlying evidence so each claim is independently traceable.
Build and maintain the QCM
Develop the Quality Control Manual with documented procedures for design control, supplier qualification, conformity inspection, and continued airworthiness reporting.
Submit and iterate with the FAA
Manage the submission package, ACO correspondence, and finding closures in a structured workspace that survives across submission rounds.
Distribute through EE Atlas
Once approved, list the PMA part on EE Atlas to reach the operators, MROs, and lessors actively sourcing alternatives.
