ABOUT US

 Corporate Aircraft Components, Inc. (CAC) was started as a spin-off of Higher Planes, Inc., an aircraft component manufacturing and repair company, in order to continue development of manufacturing / FAA-PMA capabilities and to allow Higher Planes to develop as an EASA / FAA Certificated Repair Station. 

 Higher Planes received its certification as an FAA repair station and its first FAA-PMA approvals in mid 1998 for various turbine engine components. Higher Planes continued to develop repairs and PMAs for corporate turbine powered aircraft, and engine components such as Learjet, Honeywell TPE331, Twin Commander, Israel Aircraft, Hawker, etc. as well as for Boeing 737, 747, 757 and 767 airliners.

CAC was incorporated in 2007 and all of the production approvals (PMAs) owned by Higher Planes were transferred to CAC the FAA allowed us to keep the same Production Approval Holder (PAH) Number (PQ880SW) that Higher Planes had.  The CAC FAA-PMA program has been in place since 1998.
