Complex certification programs often consume the majority, if not all, of the resources at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)’s aircraft certification offices. To prevent simpler Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) programs from being delayed in the same queue, JANA Engineering’s Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) can manage the certification process for these simpler programs on behalf of the FAA.

Key Features:

  • Seamless, stable and predictable approval timelines
  • Streamlined review and approval process
  • Enhanced schedule control and smoother changes with in-house project management
  • STC issuance within 24–48 hours following final testing
  • Expert service from a dedicated team of over 30 FAA Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) and Designated Airworthiness Representatives (DARs).

Skilled Certification Specialists

The skilled certification specialists at JANA Engineering’s ODA efficiently organize and prioritize project tasks, conducting thorough internal reviews and certifications. This streamlined process, facilitated by immediate access to in-house certification experts, ensures that compliance is integrated from the start. As a result, Requests for Certification (RFCs) can be issued right after design approval, and STCs are promptly awarded once all installation activities and reports are completed.

This approach greatly reduces the time from modification to return-to-flight, potentially saving days, weeks or even months and making the process more cost-effective.
