C&L Aerospace is increasing its support for operators of ATR regional aircraft through parts manufacturer approval (PMA). The Bangor, Maine-based business and regional aircraft MRO provider has partnered with an unnamed manufacturer to become the exclusive distributor on a PMA alternative part for the ATR’s rear tail cone lens assembly.

This is the second PMA part C&L has become an exclusive distributor of through the partnership. The company also offers a PMA alternative for the ATR’s static port cover.

“C&L is not only focused on supplying new, repaired, and overhauled material to our ATR customers, but we’re always listening to and working on products that benefit our customers,” said C&L senior v-p Warrick Hood. “C&L customers identified the ATR rear tail cone lens as a part with supply, quality, and economic concerns and we developed a solution to address all these concerns.”

The MRO provider noted it has been increasing its ATR parts, support programs, and offerings for years and has “several more” PMA parts in the works.
