Judgement

Leading a certification effort requires broad understanding of many engineering disciplines, as well as the applicable code of civil aviation regulations for the project.  The certification team must listen closely to all team members and communicate effectively with the Civil Aviation Authority when necessary. This process requires humility, patience, and broad basis of understanding.

Innoviator has successfully led the certification of projects—from simple antenna installations, to the highly complex—and we can add this capability to your next project.

Integrity

Innoviator specializes in helping clients obtain U.S. (FAA) Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) for major design changes on aircraft.

Care

Innoviator is committed to providing the industry’s best level of service no matter the complexity of the aircraft type certification solution.

Our Certification Future

Innoviator is pleased to offer our services as an FAA Partner. Our goal is to achieve an STC Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) within three years. The ODA delegation offers some additional autonomy over conventional certification methods. The goal of the ODA is to make certification timelines more predictable.

ODA does not fit all projects. Many modifications are processed best using conventional certification protocols.  Innoviator continues to maintain our Partnership for Safety Program (PSP) with the FAA. The PSP allows us to work these conventional projects using management DER’s and the many individual designees still authorized by the FAA. Under PSP, we are able to provide service that parallels the ODA certification timelines very
closely.

International

We have assisted many clients around the globe, attained EASA and other CAA supplemental type approvals for their modification programs.  Our aviation community is global, and we recognize the subtle nuances and protocols of our world and its cultures.

360-degree, conscientious approach to certification.
