STC SA330GL is now being offered for production as "Owner Produced Parts".   This is a one time design approval, with an approved drawing package, authorizing production of Owner Produced Parts or the use of verified Salvaged Parts.

We have put together a program that facilitates the owner or operator's fabrication and installation of the 9cf baggage Compartment as "Owner Produced Parts" under FAA regulation Part 21. 303, (b), 2.  This approach can be taken due to the facts that the individual parts are produced from standard aircraft materials, and are simple requiring no compound curves, special processing or exotic finishes. In addition, we have put together a resource package of documents that supports this approach, and will be of interest to the A/P and IA that will be returning the modified aircraft to service. The Resource Document Package is available for your use in evaluating this opportunity, and can be found in the links section below.
