Connecting Expertise. Strengthening Certification.

DERLink™ is AvioDesign’s FAA-aligned approval network that connects the right people to the right programs.

As FAA oversight evolves under Order 8100.15C, maintaining structured compliance and documentation alignment is more important than ever. DERLink™ provides the framework that allows organizations and independent designees to operate within a unified and auditable structure while maintaining their independence and ensuring every project stays fully aligned with FAA expectations from start to finish.

For clients, it provides organized access to qualified technical expertise.
For DERs, engineers, and specialists, it provides a steady stream of well-matched opportunities without the administrative burden.

Together, DERLink keeps certification programs moving efficiently while preserving independence and professional integrity across every discipline.

For Certification Clients

DERLink™ gives MROs, STC holders, engineering firms, and ODAs a structured way to engage the expertise they need, when they need it. Each participant in the network is carefully vetted and experienced in their discipline, providing the confidence and documentation traceability required for FAA and international validations.
