Why Choose RFS Rapco Fleet Support FAA-PMA Brake Components

PMA parts are run through intense inspection and testing.
A Better Brake Part from Design to Delivery
To get FAA-PMA approval for our brake parts, we set the bar high. Our designs, engineering, testing, manufacturing, quality control and quality assurance are comprehensive and rigorous. We document thousands of dynamometer test landings and FAA regulated flight tests which include, but are not limited to, max weight landings, water contaminated runway landings and rejected take-offs. Quite simply, we build the safest, longer lasting, better performing brake parts.
Faster Turnaround
There are many advantages to having a comprehensive all-in-house system. For starters, we’re far more proactive, innovative, and responsive compared to our OEM counterparts. RFS manufactures and stocks all our parts right here in Hartland, Wisconsin USA. In most cases, orders ship the same day.. We have a professional, experienced and courteous staff to support you from sales to installation.
Serious Savings
Because RFS is a comprehensive all-in-house system we can pass on substantial savings in efficiency, sanity, and cost to you. For example, we stock convenient Hot-Pac Brake Overhaul Kits among individual components and you have direct connections to live, professional, actual people serving customers from sales to technical issues.
When considering OEM vs. PMA parts, it ultimately comes down to price. There really is no competition. Our PMA parts will beat OEM prices every time.

All of our customers have experienced the differences between Rapco Fleet Support, Inc. and the big OEM’s. We’re quicker, easier to deal with, less expensive, small and aggressive. They’re the opposite.
The only similarity is both products are installed in the same wheel assembly with FAA-PMA installation authority. When OEM parts are installed as a replacement, eligibility is through FAA-PMA authority. Same as our brake parts.
The OEM’s received their PMA by simply being on the aircraft when the TC holder received certification. RFS earned their PMA by proving performance with hundreds of stops on a dynamometer and a strict FAA mandated flight test schedule. Testing included normal landings under different conditions as well as at wear-limit Rejected Takeoff’s. Our brake parts exceed OEM performance standards and airworthiness requirements.

From conception to manufacture, Rapco Fleet Support must follow rigorous compliance standards to legally produce and sell brake parts for mid-size and large commuter and corporate aircraft.
