Modification and Replacement Parts Association

Thank you for your interest in the 2010 MARPA Conference. Last year, we had over 230 people registered for the Conference. Attendees include PMA manufacturers, air carriers and repair stations interested in the advantages that PMA can provide to them, and government officials interested in learning more about PMA.

The 2010 MARPA Annual Conference will be held October 27-29 at the Las Vegas Renaissance Hotel. This educational conference will feature speakers and workshops addressing the new FAA rules and policies affecting PMA parts, new EASA initiatives, export of PMA parts, air carrier initiatives, and other challenges facing the PMA community.

As usual, we expect significant participation from the FAA, as they have several projects that will affect PMA manufacturers. Implementing a system that complies with the new Part 21 rule change (featured in our Winter meeting) will be addressed, as will the new policies being released by the FAA to support those rules. 

We also plan to have speakers on the fast-trak PMA process, as well as on business issues like insurance for PMA manufacturers.

We also plan to hold two workshops on October 27th:

• Engine Parts: Showing Compliance to the Regulations Addressing Endurance, Vibration and Materials
• Continued Operational Safety

Full Agenda details are posted online
