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.

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION - PARTS MANUFACTURER APPROVAL

International Avionics, Incorporated currently holds FAA-PMA NO. PQ0906SW.

COMMERCIAL AND GOVERNMENT ENTITY (CAGE) CODE

International Avionics, Incorporated is assigned CAGE CODE 2T1O3.

DRUG/ALCOHOL COMPLIANCE PROGRAM

Pursuant to FAR Part 145, Repair Stations, International Avionics, Incorporated has an FAA approved Drug/Alcohol compliance program.

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.
