New to the forum. Took note of all the valueable information concerning AS9100 certification.
I recently joined a company (FAA Part 145 repair station) and have been tasked with getting them AS9100 ASAP due to contractual agreements with a separate division moving in with our facility (as well as Nadcap after). I have previous experience with ISO9001:1994, but due to time constraints and lack of personnel, I am forced to look for outside help. I was wondering if anyone can make any recommendations for an outside source experienced with the FAA in the overhaul, repair, and manufacture sector, that would include integration of the FAA repair station manual, the Quality Manual, and the Procedures Manual? Any experiences with who (or who not) to consider would be greatly appreciated.

Have you worked under, and do you 'know', AS9001 or is it new to you?

I worked for 10 years in the FAR 21, FAR145 and JAR 145 environment. We had a separate Manufacturing QM and Repair Station IPM along with a JAR145 Appendix. We were not AS9100 since there were no customer or regulatory requirements for it at the time. Although AS 9000 was published our customers did not require it since we were under FAA surveillance. The AS9100 standard incorporates the additional FAA and aviation requirements into the ISO 9000. If you have a specific question I will offer up my 2 cents for what it's worth. I'm not a consultant so it won't cost you anything.
Also, the attached AC may be of help.

If you need a very reasonable consultant that will get you the certificate, check out these guys. I have used them, they wrote AS9100 manual, procedures, helped with instructions, provided training at a very low price. We were certified in about 4 months. It is a small consultant firm, so there prices are very reasonable. Their website is:
Thank you very much. I will definitely get a hold of them.
Appreciate the help, and I'm sure I'll be spending a lot more time in the Cove since discovering it yesterday! So much good info.
Well, now not only have I been tasked with obtaining AS9100 and Nadcap accredation, but I was informed today that the corporation is mandating ISO 14001 effective immediately. All I can say is that if I can pull this off in thier time frame (or even close to it), I deserve something besides my own satisfaction! To boot, in the interim since no one else at my company has an A & P but me, I have been elected to disassemble and inspect a couple of turbine engines for one of our "sister" companies. Don't mind the diversity if my plate wasn't overflowing.
Still looking for any other recommendations for reasonable consultants that will mainly help with procedures manual for AS9100. Remember, it's sunny Arizona and the weather is perfect this time of year!!! Golf on the weekends!!
Any ideas out there?
Note: the spec from Al Rosen was a big help.
Thanks Al
