FAA-Approved Parts. Built for Performance. Priced for Efficiency.
Up North Aero provides high-quality, FAA-approved replacement parts through our in-house PMA (Parts Manufacturer Approval) program – giving operators a smart, reliable alternative to OEM pricing without sacrificing quality or compliance.
What is PMA?
PMA parts are FAA-certified alternatives to OEM components that meet or exceed original design specifications. They’re fully airworthy, thoroughly tested, and trusted by commercial airlines, MROs, and private operators worldwide.
At Up North Aero, we do more than just manufacture parts, we engineer better solutions to help your operation run leaner, longer, and more reliably.
Cost Savings
Reduce maintenance costs with FAA-approved parts that deliver OEM quality at a more competitive price.
Built In-House
All of our PMA parts are engineered, manufactured, and tested in our Midwest facility for complete quality control.
Proven Reliability
We don’t just meet the spec, we obsess over precision, performance, and longevity.
FAA Certified
Every PMA part is fully compliant with FAA regulations and backed by detailed documentation.
