Denver-based aircraft certification service provider Peregrine has received an organization designation authorization (ODA) from the FAA, the company said. The designation will allow Peregrine to process engineering approvals on what it called a streamlined, expedited basis. ODA allows Peregrine to develop and process approvals for many types of supplemental type certifications (STCs) for Part 23, Part 25, Part 27, and Part 29 aircraft on behalf of the FAA.
According to Peregrine, the designation will help mitigate the effects of the FAA’s heavy workload and long lead times. Project completion dates will become more predictable while Peregrine’s customers continue to receive certification support.
“Our team has worked tirelessly to achieve this distinguished delegation, which allows for an efficient process to better serve the aerospace industry,” said Peregrine founder and ODA administrator David Rankin.
Along with STC development for avionics upgrades, Peregrine offers parts manufacturing approval for components and installation kits and carries approval to manufacture parts to technical standard order standards. Additional services include engineering design and integration, flight testing, dealer equipment sales, rapid prototyping, 3D printing, metal fabrication, and wire harness assembly.
