West Star Aviation has been appointed a holder of an organization designation authorization (ODA) by the FAA. The ODA allows West Star to manage its own certification projects and determine compliance with the FAA procedures and guidelines. The authorization will simplify certifications of STCs and PMAs for West Star. “The ODA is a huge added value for our customers,” said Samuel Haycraft, executive vice president/founding partner of West Star Aviation. “The ability to manage and determine our compliance will make us even more efficient and better able to meet our customers’ needs,” he said.
