EPEC™
(Extended Program for Engineering Compliance)
Safeguard Your Certification. Strengthen Your Support.
Certification doesn’t stop at approval.
EPEC™ (pronounced EPIC) is AvioDesign’s managed post-certification program designed to preserve the integrity, profitability, and continued airworthiness of approved STCs and modification programs.
Most certification programs stop the day an approval is issued but the real work continues in the field.
Without an organized framework, clients lose track of installations, documentation becomes scattered, and valuable approvals sit unused. EPEC™ keeps your certification alive, supportable, and profitable by managing the post-approval details that others overlook.
It ensures every STC you’ve earned continues to generate value through structured documentation control, installer support, and readiness for future revisions or validations.
EPEC transforms completed certifications into lasting assets instead of one-time accomplishments.
Why EPEC Exists
When certification programs end, support rarely does. Operators still need assistance, installers need documentation, and records must remain accessible for future revisions, audits, or validations.
Without a managed structure, valuable certifications risk becoming stagnant, mismanaged, or untraceable.
EPEC™ solves this problem by acting as the continuity framework under AvioDesign by delivering organization, documentation control, and technical follow-through so every STC remains supported and ready for future updates.
What EPEC Delivers
EPEC offers scalable post-certification support for STC holders, MROs, engineering firms, ODAs, and OEMs, ensuring every approval stays compliant and accessible.
Program features include:
Licensing and Installation Management – Manage sale and transfer of installation rights by aircraft serial number, with traceable documentation packages.
Field and Operator Support – Provide structured responses to installer and operator questions, handled under AvioDesign or client branding.
Documentation and Applicability Updates – Maintain configuration control and keep model/serial applicability records current.
Field Intelligence Reporting – Track inquiries, identify trends, and summarize recurring issues for potential revisions or improvements.
Data Continuity Management – Securely store certification support documentation and correspondence for long-term access and validation.
Warranty Alignment – Coordinate installation records with component manufacturer warranty terms, maintaining accurate timelines and coverage eligibility.
Certification Continuity for Manufacturers
Protects product and system developers whose certifications are managed by third parties.
If a managing partner closes or transitions, EPEC maintains documentation and support until new ownership or management is established.
When revisions or amendments are required, EPEC compiles and prepares the supporting data, routing it through AvioDesign or DERLink for review and completion.
Flexible Branding Options
EPEC operates under AvioDesign’s management but can be presented under your company’s branding for seamless client representation. This flexibility allows engineering firms, ODAs, and STC holders to maintain brand consistency while benefiting from AvioDesign’s structured framework and program oversight.
The Value of EPEC
EPEC ensures:
Your certifications never lose traceability or commercial value.
Operators and installers always have a knowledgeable point of contact.
Documentation remains organized and ready for future validations or audits.
You maintain consistent visibility into the performance and support of your STC programs.
In short, EPEC turns one-time certifications into sustainable, supportable assets.
