FAA-Certified Aircraft Parts & Repair Services
Founded in 1988, Aviation Engineering Consultants (AECI) has established itself as a leader in FAA-certified aircraft parts design, manufacturing, and repair. Our 35+ years of experience in aerospace engineering are supported by a state-of-the-art 20-acre facility in Pinellas County, Florida, housing over 40 employees. We maintain complete control over production processes through in-house design, manufacturing, assembly, and testing capabilities. Our FAA-PMA (Parts Manufacturer Approval) ensures all replacement parts meet or exceed OEM standards while offering cost savings and shorter lead times. As an FAA-certified repair station (#15AR684Y), we provide comprehensive inspection, repair, and overhaul services for aviation components.Our contract manufacturing division leverages advanced machineryincluding 5-axis mills and Swiss CNC equipmentto support industries beyond aviation. Environmental testing capabilities include temperature, humidity, and salt fog testing, alongside material analysis using OES and XRF technologies. We differentiate ourselves through patented engineering solutions and a commitment to customer-centric services like free BER unit evaluations. Our quality management system ensures ongoing compliance with FAA regulations across all operations. This combination of technical expertise, regulatory compliance, and customer-focused innovation has made us a trusted partner in the aerospace industry.

Services
FAA-Certified Repair
As FAA-certified repair station #15AR684Y, we inspect, repair, and overhaul aviation components following strict Part 145 regulations. Our engineers restore aircraft parts to original specifications while maintaining full regulatory compliance. This service extends equipment lifespan and ensures airworthiness through documented repair processes.
Contract Manufacturing
Our advanced manufacturing facility produces complex components using 5-axis milling, Swiss CNC machining, and welding technologies. We support industries requiring aerospace-grade quality standards for both prototyping and volume production runs. Our capabilities include tight-tolerance machining and laser marking for critical applications.
Environmental Testing
We conduct comprehensive environmental testing including salt fog, temperature cycling, and humidity exposure. Our laboratory performs material composition analysis using OES and XRF technologies to verify component integrity. These services help clients validate product durability under extreme conditions.
Engineering Design
Our engineering team designs FAA-compliant aircraft components from concept through certification. We offer full lifecycle support including CAD modeling, prototype development, and production documentation. This service includes patent development and regulatory submission assistance for new aviation products.
PMA Aircraft Parts
We manufacture FAA-approved replacement parts meeting or exceeding OEM performance standards. These PMA-certified components offer significant cost savings with shorter lead times. Our inventory includes commercial, general aviation, and military hardware solutions available through distributors or direct purchase.
