Avionics FAQ

As an FAA & EASA Part 145 certified repair station and FAA Part 21 Production Approval Holder (PAH), Southeast Aerospace directly follows the guidelines for traceability and aircraft airworthiness dictated by the FAA. Southeast Aerospace utilizes a precise, organized AS9100C compliant system including electronic document management, bar code labeling and tracking, production travelers, and more.

Southeast Aerospace only utilizes factory obtained and factory traceable service parts for maintenance, repair, and overhaul functions. Factory documents including certificates of conformance (C of C) and packing slips are available for all service parts. New, finished good components sold by Southeast Aerospace include the same documentation.

In relation to used, serviceable, and overhauled components sold by Southeast Aerospace, traceability as per the FAA Repair Station Manual is provided. There is no FAA rule requiring "back to birth" traceability. This type of traceability in relation to certain products (especially legacy products) is not available nor necessary per the FAA guidelines. Maintenance procedures include requirements and provisions for work to be carried in such a manner as to return the product to an airworthy condition. Once the procedures are completed by an FAA approved source, traceability is validated and now originates from the last certified FAA source.
