Is Power Packs Plus a legitimate and trustworthy aircraft parts source? +

Yes. Power Packs Plus has been operating in the general aviation parts industry for over two decades and has built a reputation for documentation integrity, knowledgeable staff, and reliable AOG support. The company maintains close working relationships with FAA Part 145-certified repair stations, which ensures that every overhauled or repaired component leaving our facility meets or exceeds FAA airworthiness standards under 14 CFR Part 43 and Part 91.

All transactions are conducted directly through powerpacksplus.com, by phone at 775-322-8555, or via email at ryan@powerpacksplus.com. We do not sell through any third-party social media marketplace including Facebook Marketplace or Instagram. If you encounter any listing claiming to be us on social media, it is fraudulent — contact us directly to verify.

Parts Quality & Certification
Are your used aircraft parts FAA-certified and properly documented? +

Yes. Every serviceable part sold by Power Packs Plus comes with complete airworthiness documentation. This includes FAA Form 8130-3 (Airworthiness Approval Tag) or equivalent EASA Form 1 for internationally destined components. The 8130-3 is the industry-standard document issued by FAA-authorized repair stations confirming that a part meets airworthiness requirements under 14 CFR Part 43.

In addition to the 8130-3, we provide:

  • Removal documentation with the originating aircraft tail number and total time
  • Complete maintenance and service history records
  • Overhaul records from FAA Part 145-certified repair stations where applicable
  • Inspection sign-offs from certified A&P mechanics

This level of traceability is non-negotiable at Power Packs Plus. Proper documentation is what separates a legally installable part from a liability. View our full certified parts inventory here.

What is the difference between overhauled, repaired, and serviceable aircraft parts? +

These three terms have specific meanings under FAA regulations and affect what documentation is required and what the part's maintenance status is:

  • Overhauled: The part has been completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, repaired or replaced as needed, reassembled, and tested to original manufacturer tolerances by an FAA Part 145-certified repair station. An overhauled part is returned to "new limits" and typically carries a zero-time or zero-since-overhaul (ZSO/ZSHI) status. This is the highest condition rating.
  • Repaired: Specific defects or discrepancies were identified and corrected by a certified mechanic or repair station to restore the part to an airworthy condition. The part may retain accumulated time and is documented under 14 CFR Part 43.
  • Serviceable: The part has been inspected and found to meet airworthiness requirements in its current as-removed condition. No repair work was performed, but it is confirmed compliant with applicable ADs (Airworthiness Directives) and service limits.

All three categories are legally installable on certificated aircraft when accompanied by proper documentation. Power Packs Plus clearly identifies the condition status of every part in our inventory. Questions? Call 775-322-8555.

How do I know a used aircraft part is compliant with current Airworthiness Directives (ADs)? +

Airworthiness Directive (AD) compliance is one of the most important factors to verify before installing any used aircraft component. Under 14 CFR Part 39, FAA ADs are legally enforceable regulations that must be complied with before a part or aircraft can be returned to service.

At Power Packs Plus, our team checks applicable ADs as part of our parts evaluation process. However, the installing A&P mechanic or repair station is ultimately responsible for confirming AD compliance at the time of installation. We recommend:

  • Reviewing the FAA AD database at rgl.faa.gov for the specific part number
  • Confirming AD status with the part's maintenance history documentation
  • Asking our staff directly — we are happy to assist with AD research on specific part numbers before purchase

Call 775-322-8555 or email ryan@powerpacksplus.com with your part number inquiry.

Pricing & Value
How much can I save buying used serviceable aircraft parts vs. new OEM? +

Buyers of used serviceable aircraft parts typically save between 40% and 80% compared to new OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) pricing, depending on the component type, aircraft platform, and condition status. For hydraulic power packs, fuel pumps, and landing gear components on older general aviation airframes, the savings can be even more significant — especially when new OEM parts are on extended back-order or no longer in production.

For example, a new OEM hydraulic power pack for a Cessna single-engine aircraft can cost several thousand dollars. A documented overhauled equivalent from Power Packs Plus often provides the same airworthiness status at a fraction of the price. Browse our Cessna single-engine power packs or full parts inventory to compare.

For fleet operators and MRO facilities, these savings multiply across multiple aircraft and scheduled maintenance events, making Power Packs Plus a valuable strategic parts source.

AOG & Urgent Orders
Can Power Packs Plus support AOG (Aircraft on Ground) emergencies? +

AOG support is one of Power Packs Plus's core strengths. When an aircraft is grounded, every hour of downtime represents lost revenue, missed schedules, and operational disruption. Our in-stock warehouse model — combined with direct relationships with FAA Part 145-certified repair facilities — gives us maximum flexibility to respond quickly to AOG situations, whether you need a hydraulic power pack, a Parker Airborne fuel pump, or a hard-to-find engine accessory.

For AOG situations, call us immediately at 775-322-8555. Our knowledgeable staff should be your first call. We can confirm in-stock availability, documentation status, and same-day or next-day shipping options in a single conversation — no waiting on automated systems or international sourcing delays.

We also assist with Parker Airborne fuel pump AOG sourcing, which is a frequently requested and time-sensitive component category.

How quickly can aircraft parts be shipped from Power Packs Plus? +

For in-stock items, Power Packs Plus can typically arrange same-day or next-business-day shipping depending on carrier availability and order timing. We ship via major freight carriers and overnight express services to support urgent maintenance windows across the United States and internationally.

To confirm real-time availability and arrange expedited shipping, contact us directly at 775-322-8555 or email ryan@powerpacksplus.com. Having your part number or aircraft make/model ready will allow our team to confirm availability immediately.

Specific Parts & Inventory
Do you stock Cessna hydraulic power packs? +

Yes. Cessna hydraulic power packs are one of our most frequently requested inventory categories. We stock overhauled and serviceable hydraulic power pack assemblies for a range of Cessna single-engine and multi-engine aircraft platforms. These components are critical to retractable gear systems and are subject to regular maintenance cycles, making a reliable used parts source essential for Cessna operators and MRO shops.

Browse our dedicated Cessna single-engine power packs page to see current inventory, or call 775-322-8555 to speak with our team about a specific part number or airframe.

Do you carry Parker Airborne fuel pumps? +

Yes. Parker Airborne fuel pumps are a stocked specialty item at Power Packs Plus. Parker Airborne (formerly Airborne) is a widely used manufacturer of aircraft fuel boost pumps and engine-driven fuel pumps found across a broad range of general aviation platforms. These pumps are subject to time and calendar replacement requirements, making reliable sourcing critical for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.

We maintain overhauled and serviceable Parker Airborne fuel pump inventory with full 8130-3 documentation. Visit our Parker Airborne fuel pumps page for current availability, or contact us at 775-322-8555.

Cores, Returns & Buying Parts
Does Power Packs Plus accept core returns or purchase surplus aircraft parts? +

Yes. Power Packs Plus actively participates in core exchange programs and handles BER (Beyond Economical Repair) core scenarios in partnership with our network of certified repair facilities. If you are removing a component that is no longer serviceable, it may still have core value that can offset the cost of a replacement.

We are also interested in purchasing serviceable surplus aircraft parts inventory, overhauled components, and salvage aircraft parts. If you have a collection of parts, an aircraft being parted out, or excess MRO inventory, contact us at ryan@powerpacksplus.com or call 775-322-8555 to discuss.
