International
Avionics, Incorporated (IAI), incorporated in 1970, is
a dynamic development and manufacturing company
serving the needs of aircraft manufacturers and
modification centers. The personnel at IAI can provide
rapid development and product delivery in order to
support aircraft production schedules or modification
completion dates.
Product development has
been initiated by customers with as little as a phone
call to as much as a written specification.
International Avionics, Incorporated recognizes the
need for highly reliable product operation and meets
this need with its years of experience in designing
for the aircraft environment.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
International Avionics,
Inc. has in place a quality assurance system that
meets the requirements of the FAA for an approved
facility. International Avionics, Inc. has Federal
Aviation Parts Manufacturer Approval and has produced
FAA-PMA items under its own STC and other items
produced under license from either Falcon Jet
Corporation or Atlantic Aviation Corporation. All
items designed and fabricated adhere to the same
internal policies and procedures, regardless of
whether a PMA part is produced or not. The only
deviation occurs in the requirement for individual
test reports and document retention for PMA parts.
This requirement is either complied with or waived at
the option of the customer. International Avionics,
Inc. is certified as ISO 9000 compliant.
DESIGN CRITERIA
International
Avionics, Incorporated utilizes conservative standards
of design and fabrication, in general following
Military Specifications where applicable. In
particular MIL-STD-704 is the standard
criterion for aircraft power while MIL-STD-275
is used as a guide for printed circuit board design. DO-160
is used to establish the minimum criteria for
environmental requirements.
COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN
All detail design,
schematics, and printed wiring board artwork are
accomplished by computer aided design. Mechanical
design is done with the programs DESIGN-CAD® 2D and
DESIGN-CAD® 3D. AUTOCAD-LT® is also available but
not preferred. Schematics are drawn with PROTEL
SCHEMATIC®, netlists are captured and printed wiring
artworks are generated with PROTEL AUTOTRAX®. These
programs have error checking and design rule checking
routines to insure correct artwork. A HP 7475
"B" size plotter and a NUMONICS
"D" size plotter are available as well as a
laser printer to produce finished drawings and
artworks on the appropriate medium. GERBER
Photoplotter and NC Drill files are used to generate
finished PCB filmwork and boards.
Drawings for customer
review may be supplied as either hard copy, a
DESIGN-CAD® file, a DWG file, a DXF file or ADOBE®
PDF files.
FAA APPROVED REPAIR
STATION
International Avionics,
Incorporated is an FAA Approved Repair Station, 1AIR500N,
with a Limited Accessory, Limited Instrument, and
Limited Radio rating. This limited rating is
restricted by current IAI policy to include only those
items manufactured by IAI. Since only the
"manufacturer" may legally repair and return
to service those items installed on the aircraft, the
IAI repair station precludes the aircraft manufacturer
from being forced to maintain a facility to attempt to
repair an item that they may not be capable of
repairing or to coordinate the return for repair to
the facility that built the item and then receive it
after repair and return the item to service.

WARRANTY
International Avionics,
Inc., warrants its products for a period of one year
from ship date of the item. It is also recognized that
the ultimate customer will not take delivery of the
aircraft on the ship date of IAI's product. As a
general rule IAI uses 18 months from ship date in
determining warranty eligibility. By special contract,
the warranty period may be in excess of one year. Also
by special contract, the warranty on products sold to
an aircraft manufacturer may be activated upon notice
from that manufacturer that the aircraft has been sold
to the ultimate customer.
This warranty covers
defects in materials and workmanship. It does not
imply that any item will be returned to 'like new'
condition because of cosmetics that detract from the
appearance as a result of installation; for example,
overspray, scratches, marks or the like. Likewise the
term of the warranty is not extended beyond the
original date due to the return of an item to IAI, nor
is any item rebuilt to 'zero time' under IAI warranty.
PART NUMBER SYSTEM
The IAI Part Numbering
system identifies parts, drawings, procedures, etc, by
an eleven digit code, implemented to take advantage of
certain computer aided design functions, and is of the
form:
| WWWYYYYZZZR
where: |
|
WWW - |
Part Number Family, a
three digit number identifying the part number family;
|
|
YYYY- |
Item/Project Number, for a
Part Number Family from 001 through 501, YYYY is a four digit number
identifying an Item within a part family; for a Part Number Family
from 0502 through 0999, YYYY is a four digit number identifying the
Project Number starting at 0502 and ranging through 0999;
|
|
ZZZ - |
Sequence
Number, a three digit number identifying a
sequential item or modification;
|
|
R - |
Revision,
an optional single letter providing the revision
level of the identified part. If R is not
required, this position is a space.
|
Part Number Families
allow an insight into the type and kind of part under
consideration by knowing the prefix, while allowing a
much broader and comprehensive classification of
parts.
