FAA PMA parts in Canadian Registered Certified Aircraft

[light chop]

Scenario:
A U.S. company has a Parts Manufacturing Authority to design and produce a replacement part, and they have an eligibility chart (with a list of eligible certified aircraft) showing that said part is an FAA approved replacement for an old, out of production part from a different manufacturer.

Question:
To install this PMA part on a Canadian registered certified aircraft, is some sort of installation authority from the aircraft manufacturer required to legally install this part?

Thanks,

CAR 571.13 would be your friend:

If the part numbers and aircraft models line up as required, I believe that yes, the installation should be legal ... so long as its not a major modification (Saying that just in case a Canadian major modification is defferent than an American one, in which case it's possible a simple PMA replacement in the US may not be so simple here, if the definitions differ).

Your AME, and/or TC, would be the best source to confirm this with greater certitude, as I certainly am not an authority. I seem to recall seeing an interpretation from TC on this ... a circular of some kind ... can't find it now though ....

From CAR571.07:

(c) Parts produced pursuant to an FAA Parts Manufacturer approval (PMA) are eligible for installation on a Canadian aircraft or on an aeronautical product intended for installation on a Canadian aircraft provided that:

(i) the parts are marked in accordance with the part marking requirements set out by the FAA; and
(amended 2009/12/01; previous version)

(ii) the parts are accompanied by an authorized release certificate which certifies the parts conform to the applicable design data approved by the FAA or the Minister and indicates the aeronautical product for which they are eligible.
