Aircraft modifications, repairs, and engineering projects require more than technical design. They also need accurate documentation and careful consideration of applicable aviation regulations and approval requirements.
Infinavia (Infiniferro Aviation) provides Certification & Engineering Authorization services to support aircraft engineering and modification projects, including Engineering Authorization (EA), engineering documentation, regulatory compliance support, and requirements related to FAA, CAAC, and EASA standards.
Our services are designed to help airlines, aircraft operators, MRO organizations, and aviation businesses navigate the engineering and documentation requirements associated with aircraft projects.
Engineering and Compliance Support for Aircraft Projects
Aircraft engineering projects can involve multiple stages, from initial technical assessment and design to documentation, review, authorization, and implementation.
Whether the project involves an aircraft interior modification, component repair, avionics change, or another engineering activity, the supporting documentation needs to clearly communicate the proposed modification and its technical basis.
Infinavia provides engineering support throughout this process, with services that include:
- Engineering Authorization (EA)
- Engineering documentation
- Regulatory and compliance support
- FAA, CAAC, and EASA requirements
- Air Agency Certificate / Approved Repair Station-related requirements
The exact approval pathway depends on the aircraft, operator, modification, jurisdiction, and applicable aviation authority requirements.
Infinavia's Certification & Engineering Authorization Services
1. Engineering Authorization (EA)
Engineering Authorization (EA) provides a formal engineering framework for applicable aircraft modification and engineering activities.
Infinavia supports EA-related engineering work by helping develop the technical information and documentation required for an engineering project.
Depending on the project scope, support may include:
- Engineering assessment
- Modification definition
- Technical drawings
- Engineering calculations or supporting data where applicable
- Modification documentation
- Technical justification
- Engineering review and coordination
- Authorization-related documentation
The requirements for an Engineering Authorization can vary according to the aircraft, modification, organization, and applicable approval procedures.
Infinavia works with the available technical information and project requirements to support a structured engineering process.
2. Aircraft Engineering Documentation
Clear documentation is a fundamental part of aircraft engineering.
Engineering documentation provides the technical record of what is being modified, why the modification is required, how it is designed, and what requirements need to be addressed.
Infinavia provides engineering documentation support for aircraft projects, which may include:
- Engineering drawings
- Modification documents
- Technical specifications
- Engineering reports
- Configuration documentation
- Component-related documentation
- Technical data packages
- Revision and configuration records
The documentation scope is adapted to the nature of the project and the applicable technical and regulatory requirements.
3. Aviation Regulatory Compliance Support
Aircraft engineering activities must take into account the regulatory framework applicable to the aircraft and the organization performing or approving the work.
Infinavia provides aviation regulatory compliance support to help customers identify and address relevant requirements during engineering projects.
Compliance-related activities may involve:
- Review of applicable requirements
- Regulatory requirement identification
- Engineering documentation review
- Compliance-related technical support
- Modification documentation
- Coordination of technical information
- Support for approval-related processes
Regulatory requirements can differ depending on the aircraft’s registration, operating environment, modification type, and responsible aviation authority.
For this reason, each project should be evaluated individually rather than applying a single approval process to every aircraft.
4. FAA, CAAC & EASA Requirements
Aircraft and aviation organizations operating across different markets may need to consider requirements from different aviation authorities.
Infinavia can provide engineering and documentation support for projects involving requirements associated with:
FAA – Federal Aviation Administration
FAA requirements may apply to aircraft, components, operators, repair stations, and modification activities under the relevant U.S. aviation regulatory framework.
Infinavia can support the engineering documentation and technical requirements associated with applicable FAA-related projects.
EASA – European Union Aviation Safety Agency
EASA requirements may apply to aircraft and aviation organizations operating within the European aviation regulatory framework.
Infinavia can support engineering projects where EASA-related technical and documentation requirements need to be considered.
CAAC – Civil Aviation Administration of China
CAAC requirements are relevant to aircraft and aviation activities within the Chinese aviation regulatory framework.
For projects involving CAAC requirements, Infinavia can support the engineering and technical documentation aspects based on the applicable project requirements.
The applicable authority, regulation, approval pathway, and documentation requirements depend on the specific aircraft and project. Regulatory compliance should therefore be assessed according to the actual circumstances of each project.
5. Air Agency Certificate & Approved Repair Station
An Air Agency Certificate / Approved Repair Station is an important element of the aviation maintenance and repair environment.
Organizations operating under an approved repair station framework are subject to specific regulatory requirements covering areas such as facilities, personnel, procedures, quality systems, maintenance capabilities, and documentation.
Infinavia can support engineering and documentation requirements associated with projects involving Air Agency Certificate or Approved Repair Station environments, subject to the applicable authority and organizational approval framework.
Our support can include:
- Engineering documentation
- Technical data preparation
- Modification-related documentation
- Component repair documentation
- Engineering coordination
- Technical support for repair and modification activities
The specific certificate, approval, and authorization requirements depend on the responsible aviation authority and the scope of the organization’s approved capabilities.
