Quality Aircraft Accessories

What Quality Aircraft Accessories does

Quality Aircraft Accessories (QAA) is a Tulsa, Oklahoma-based FAA-certified aircraft engine component repair company founded in 1999. It sells, overhauls, and exchanges general aviation engine parts, with a defined specialty in Hartzell Engine Tech's Sky-Tec starter products and solenoids. On December 8, 2025, Hartzell Engine Tech officially designated QAA as its Recommended Service Facility (RSF) for Sky-Tec starter products, authorizing it to perform certified solenoid and starter repairs — including a publicly disclosed $400 flat-rate Sky-Tec solenoid repair service positioned as an FAA-approved, cost-effective alternative to full starter replacement.

QAA's core technology is FAA-certified mechanical and electromechanical repair of aircraft engine starting components rather than a software or AI-driven platform; its differentiator is regulatory authorization combined with a repair-over-replace pricing model. Its products and services center on the Sky-Tec Solenoid Repair Service alongside broader overhaul and exchange offerings for general aviation engine parts, with publicly disclosed unit pricing at $400 per solenoid repair on a pay-as-you-go billing cadence.

The business model is a single-vertical, channel-partnered service operation: QAA serves aircraft maintenance facilities and operators within the aviation maintenance industry, acquiring customers predominantly through referrals from Hartzell Engine Tech's distribution and customer network under the RSF designation. Revenue mechanics combine per-unit repair fees, overhauls, and parts sales/exchanges. The company is privately held with 11–50 employees, no disclosed funding, no M&A history, and a single domestic operating geography (United States).
