There
are four parts to an aircraft per the FAA.
(Federal
Aviation Administration – United States of America)
1) Airframe
2) Engine
3) Propeller
4) Accessories. (Examples: Radio, airframe fuel pump, night vision equipment,
hoists, brakes and etc.)
A: Airframe
P: Powerplant
A&P Mechanic: A
mechanic who works on both the Airframe (A) and Powerplant (P).
Airframe Mechanic: A mechanic who works on the Airframe.
Powerplant Mechanic: A mechanic who works the Powerplant.
Aftermarket:
Non-brand
name or non-OEM parts and accessories.
Completions:
A helicopter specialty shop. This shop specializes in refitting a helicopter
for a special mission. For example, a completion might upgrade and modify a helicopter
for a wealthy person.
Another example would be a completion shop might upgrade a helicopter for fire
fighting service which would include special radios, water tanks, spot lights
and other equipment to get the helicopter ready for a specific mission.

Line Maintenance:
A line mechanic would show up to help fix certain items while it is out on the
line (meaning, not in the hanger).
Things that could be done on the ramp
for example: Changing out a tachometer, one rotor blade or changing out
some loose screws. (If all the rotor blades need to be replaced and service
bulletins completed, then this would be done typically at a repair station.)
Maintenance Facility/Station:
Not
all maintenance facilities are repair
stations. A maintenance facility might do inspections.
Sometimes, it’s thought that repair
stations are better than maintenance stations.
This is
not necessarily
true.
A maintenance facility (or station),
might have expertise that a repair station
does not
have. It depends upon the experience of
the people who work there.
Modification Part or
Modifications:
Is when a
person or company invents a part for an aircraft which
works just as well as the manufactures and it could
work even better. (Example: The Hughes 500 pointed
nose is a modified part.)
OEM:
Original Equipment Manufacturer. A brand name manufacture of products or components.
Typically, a company that sells a product under their name.
Some or many components
maybe produced by other manufactures but when the end product is sold, the item
is known as a (an OEM) product of the manufacturer.
For example: A Camaro might have Firestone tires, windows
by PPG, radios by Sony, metal by US Steel but the final product is known as a
General Motors Chevrolet Camaro. General Motors is the Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM).

Repair
Station:
An aviation repair facility that is certified
by a government agency.
Rotors:
For
helicopters, the helicopter rotor
is not considered a propeller but part of
the
airframe.
The helicopter gets
its lift from the rotating blades. Hence,
the rotor
blades are technically revolving
wings.
Which is why rotor blades are considered
part of the airframe. To make
matters
more complicated, gyrocopters
have propellers as well as a rotor blade.
Service
Center:
This aviation repair facility is certified by
an OEM helicopter manufacturer to work on their helicopters.
A service
center is typically like car dealership. They usually have a parts
center, they sell
OEM helicopters and are certified to work on the helicopters of the
manufacturer.
Supplemental Type Certificates (STC)
A Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC) is an authorization to an airframe, engine or any other component
that has been granted as a Type Certificate (TC).
(A Type Certificate (TC) is a government
approved certification to an aerospace manufacturer that their aircraft
or aircraft part fulfills
the of current
condition of airworthiness
requirements.)
A Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) is issued when an applicant
has received
FAA approval to modify an aircraft or aircraft part
from its original design.
The STC also shows how that modification affects
the original design. |
