Superior Air Parts’ Bill Ross earns IA

By General Aviation News Staff · March 17, 2016 ·

COPPELL, Texas — Bill Ross, vice president of product support at Superior Air Parts, has earned an FAA Inspection Authorization (IA).

Earning Inspection Authorization gives Ross the authority to work with aircraft owners and engine builder/overhaulers to guide them on determining an aircraft or engine’s airworthiness by inspecting repairs or alterations for conformity to approved data, and helping them assure that the aircraft and engine is in a condition for safe operation.

Bill Ross“We are extremely proud of Bill’s accomplishment. For much of his career he has been viewed as one of the foremost experts in the field when it comes to piston aircraft engine operations and maintenance,” said CEO Keith Chatten. “Bill has become literally the go-to guy for straightforward answers in a sky full of myths and misinformation.”

“Now as an FAA IA, he is further equipped to work side-by-side with our customers whether they are building or overhauling an engine with Superior parts to help ensure that the final product delivers the highest level of performance, reliability and value,” Chatten said.
