Owner-Produced Parts | What is it and how can it land you in hot water?

Whenever an aircraft needs parts for replacement or repair, there’s common avenues we use. That being: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA), or the salvage yard. For today’s episode, we focus on a fourth avenue that has some nuance and some shadiness tied to it, and that is Owner-Produced Parts (cue OPP song!). What are some of the pros and cons of owners producing their own parts and what sort of hot water we as aircraft mechanics can potentially face because of it?
