Suspected Unapproved Parts Details
Information received during an FAA suspected unapproved part (SUP) investigation revealed that from 2009 to 2012, MacLean Sky (formerly Sky-Manufacturing), 5989 Rickenbacker Road Commerce, CA was manufacturing parts for an FAA Production Approval Holder (PAH) and selling the excess parts to a distributor for installation on Type Certificated Aircraft, without holding either FAA production approval or a letter of direct ship authorization from the PAH. The FAA PAH discovered that MacLean Sky had sold the excess manufactured parts directly to a distributor, Fasteners Dimensions of Ozone Park, New York. MacLean Sky is allowed to produce and sell standard parts, however, the parts manufactured by MacLean Sky for the PAH were not standard parts.
