Quality you can trust
A documented quality management system covers supplier qualification, receiving inspection, storage, shipping, and final delivery.
FAA-recognized standard
ASA-100 supports the FAA's Voluntary Industry Distributor Accreditation Program under Advisory Circular 00-56.
Counterfeit parts protection
Documented procedures help detect and prevent unapproved or counterfeit parts from entering the supply chain.
Traceability
Required supplier records and available trace documentation are reviewed through our quality management process.
FAA Advisory Circular 00-56 compliance
FAA Advisory Circular 00-56 establishes the Voluntary Industry Distributor Accreditation Program for civil aircraft parts distributors. The ASA-100 standard was developed to satisfy the requirements of this program.
Aero8™'s ASA-100 certificate includes a statement of compliance to FAA AC 00-56. This is distributor quality-system compliance, not an FAA repair-station certificate or installation approval for an individual part.
