Certification Lifecycle Infrastructure for STC Holders
Supporting an STC extends far beyond the initial approval. Revisions, continued airworthiness, customer support, engineering changes, additional approved models, certification updates, audits, and ongoing technical questions all require continued certification capability throughout the lifecycle of the program.
Whether supporting a growing portfolio of supplemental type certificates or providing certification support for individual certification activities, we offer AvioDesign Certification Management (ACM) for organizations requiring ongoing certification capability, along with Certification Project Support for individual development programs, revisions, and engineering activities.
Every engagement is performed with 100% Client Ownership and 100% Discretion, integrating with your existing engineering and certification teams or independently supporting your certification activities as required.
AvioDesign Certification Management (ACM)
Successful STC programs require ongoing certification capability long after the original approval is issued. ACM provides continued certification support throughout the lifecycle of your STC portfolio, strengthening engineering resources, certification planning, approval support, documentation, and customer response while allowing your internal team to remain focused on product development and business growth.
Organizations utilizing ACM may rely on AvioDesign to:
Priority project initiation with certification activities
Support continued certification activities following STC approval, including revisions, engineering changes, additional approval models, and future certification programs.
Determine engineering disciplines, DER resources for approvals (or ODA support where appropriate), approval authorities, and specialized technical resources as certification needs evolve.
Provide ongoing technical and certification guidance supporting customers, installers, repair stations, and engineering organizations.
Develop and maintain certification documentation supporting revisions, approvals, and future development activities.
Strengthen long-term certification capability without expanding internal certification staffing.
Support the continued value and operational continuity of your certification portfolio throughout its lifecycle.
Certification Project Support
Not every certification activity requires ongoing certification management. AvioDesign also supports individual STC programs, revisions, engineering changes, continued airworthiness activities, and project-specific certification requirements by providing engineering organizations, DER resources for approvals (or ODA support where appropriate), certification documentation, and specialized technical support tailored to each program.
Typical project support includes:
Engineering, DER resources for approvals (or ODA support where appropriate), and specialized technical resources.
STC development, revisions, engineering changes, and certification updates.
Compliance documentation and project-specific certification deliverables.
Additional approved models, major alterations, and continued airworthiness support.
Technical guidance supporting certification activities from project planning through approval.
Looking for ongoing support beyond individual certification project? AvioDesign Certification Management (ACM) provides continued certification capability throughout the lifecycle of your certification programs.
