Blacklight Aerospace // PMA & legacy support

Keep supportable aircraft flying.

Blacklight Aerospace develops replacement-part solutions for operators facing obsolescence, constrained supply, unsupported fleets, and difficult-to-source components. Our PMA program is built around disciplined engineering, controlled data, supplier qualification, traceability, and long-term product support.

Operator-drivenRequirements begin with real support and availability problems.
Configuration-controlledPart identity, effectivity, supersession, and source data are treated as engineering records.
Supplier-enabledSpecialized manufacturing and test capability can be integrated under Blacklight control.
Lifecycle-mindedCatalogue, ordering, changes, and continued support are managed as one system.

PMA development

From unsupported requirement to controlled product.

Customers can bring Blacklight Aerospace an identified part, assembly relationship, support problem, demand picture, and whatever samples or technical data are available. The intake becomes an internally tracked engineering candidate.

01 // IDENTIFY

Requirement

Capture aircraft, OEM reference, assembly, demand, support problem, and urgency.

02 // SCREEN

Feasibility

Establish effectivity, source-data quality, commercial need, and technical path.

03 // ENGINEER

Definition

Develop controlled design data, material/process requirements, and supplier controls.

04 // SUBSTANTIATE

Approval

Perform the analysis, conformity, inspection, and testing appropriate to the approval basis.

05 // SUPPORT

Production

Release approved articles through controlled production, records, ordering, and continued support.

Commercial access

One front door for existing and new parts.

Use the catalogue when Blacklight Aerospace already lists the requirement. Each published item carries a Blacklight order code customers can reference in procurement communications and order requests.

If the part is not listed, submit a PMA product request. The request captures the configuration and demand information needed for an initial screening without implying that Blacklight has accepted the project or that FAA approval already exists.

Approval and availability notice. Catalogue status is authoritative only as displayed for the specific Blacklight Aerospace item. Development or approval-pending entries are not represented as FAA-approved replacement parts and cannot be submitted through the order workflow until marked approved.
