How to Ensure the Reliability of Aircraft Parts Outside the Major Manufacturers

June 10, 2025

Published by Mob Salvage | Kissimmee, FL

In aviation, reliability is everything. The safety of a flight depends directly on the integrity of the components keeping the aircraft in operation. However, it’s not always possible—or practical—to purchase parts directly from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Whether due to cost, availability, or lead time, the used parts market has become an increasingly valuable alternative.

At Mob Salvage, we face this challenge every day: providing used aircraft parts with full responsibility, traceability, and rigorous technical criteria—even without issuing FAA certification.

✈️ Understanding FAA Certification

While the FAA Form 8130-3 is mandatory in many regulatory environments, not all general aviation operations require it. Thousands of aircraft—particularly in the U.S. and Latin America—operate legally with non-certified parts, as long as they have reliable traceability and technical compatibility with the intended application.

Mob Salvage specializes in this niche, offering parts with known history and traceability, ideal for maintenance, testing, non-critical replacements, and various other uses in light aviation.

🛠️ How Do We Ensure Reliability?

Our approach is based on three pillars:

1. Rigorous Technical Inspection

Every part entering our inventory undergoes a detailed evaluation of its physical condition, structural integrity, and operational readiness. We work with professionals experienced in aircraft maintenance.

2. Documented Traceability

Even without FAA certification, we provide as much information as possible about each item: serial number, manufacturer, model, estimated operational history, and—when available—the aircraft of origin.

3. Transparent Communication

We understand that every aviation operation has different needs. That’s why we clearly communicate the condition and limitations of each part, allowing customers to make informed, responsible decisions.

🔧 Who Are These Parts For?

• General aviation maintenance shops

• Private aircraft owners

• Flight schools

• Aircraft restoration projects

• Experimental and educational applications

💼 Commitment to Responsibility and Quality

Being outside the OEM network doesn't mean sacrificing seriousness. On the contrary—at Mob Salvage, we know that every component is part of a larger system, and often tied to flight safety.

Our mission is to deliver trustworthy products for appropriate applications, always respecting technical, legal, and operational limits.
