What Really Comes with These Boxes?
All of our customers have experienced the differences between Rapco Fleet Support, Inc. and the big OEMs. We’re smaller, nimbler, easy to work with, and a lot less expensive. They’re the opposite.
The only similarity is both products are installed in the same wheel assembly with FAA-PMA installation authority. When OEM parts are installed as a replacement, eligibility is through FAA-PMA authority. Same as our brake parts.
The OEM’s received their PMA by simply being on the aircraft when the TC holder received certification. We earned PMA by proving performance with hundreds of stops on a dynamometer and a strict FAA mandated flight test schedule. Testing included normal landings under different conditions as well as at wear-limit Rejected Takeoffs.
Our brake parts actually exceed OEM performance standards and airworthiness requirements.
