Thrust Tech Accessories, Inc. (TTA), a distinguished U.S.-based MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) company located near Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, has proudly achieved certification from the United Kingdom’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) as a Part 145 station. “This prestigious certification underscores our expansive and industry-recognized MRO expertise,” said Stanley Kowlessar, TTA’s president and general manager.
“With this certification, Thrust Tech’s highly skilled team can now assist airlines and aircraft operators in maintaining any U.K.-registered Part 21 aircraft, as well as their engines and components,” Kowlessar added. Part 21 refers to the section of UK CAA regulations that sets the standards for aircraft and parts certification.
“For over three decades, we’ve held domestic certification by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as a Part 145 station, authorizing us to provide critical maintenance, repair, and overhaul services on a wide range of private, corporate, and commercial aircraft and rotorcraft,” Kowlessar explained. “We are also fully certified by the European Aviation Services Administration (EASA) as a Part 145 maintenance organization.”
Kowlessar continued, “This new UK CAA certification further illustrates TTA’s commitment to stringent safety and operational standards, showcasing our adherence to high-quality maintenance practices. This is crucial for maintaining aircraft airworthiness and enhancing overall aviation safety.”
Obtaining CAA certification is a global badge of excellence, signifying that TTA complies with international regulatory standards.

The CAA meticulously evaluated TTA’s detailed procedures for individual maintenance tasks to ensure they meet safety and regulatory requirements. Additionally, TTA excelled in evaluations of its documentation and record-keeping processes, safety management system scope, and continuous improvement practices.
