ThrustVector Aero: aircraft parts and AD lookup
A free, vendor-agnostic lookup for aircraft parts, FAA-approved PMA alternates, and airworthiness directives.
- For
- Aircraft owners, AMEs, A&Ps, and maintenance shops
- Worth noticing
- The site reports 1,644,205 FAA PMA approvals and warns that a PMA model listing does not establish eligibility for a particular aircraft.
Field notes
The search interface distinguishes aircraft-level and part-level queries: a tail number or serial opens a catalogue, while a part number can surface manufacturer details, PMA alternatives, and named directives. The site lists FAA, Federal Register, DLA, and Canadian registry data among its sources. It limits its stated aircraft coverage to general aviation fixed-wing aircraft up to 33 seats and cautions users to confirm applicability against current OEM and approval documents.
