Aviation Certifications
More than 14-years strong
A Foundation of Regulatory Trust and Aviation Compliance
Aerocycle’s operations are built on a rigorous framework of aviation credentials that ensure safety, traceability, and full regulatory compliance. At the core of this framework is Aerocycle’s TCCA AMO certification, issued by Transport Canada, which authorizes the company to operate the same regulatory framework as certified MRO organizations.
These define how Aerocycle operates, how projects are controlled, and how aircraft components are handled, documented, and, where permitted, certified for reuse.
Issued by Transport Canada
TCCA AMO Certification (Approved Maintenance Organization) / MRO
Aerocycle is TCCA AMO-certified, an Approved Maintenance Organization certification issued by Transport Canada. This certification confirms that Aerocycle meets the same regulatory, quality, and procedural requirements applied to approved aviation maintenance organizations in Canada.
In practical terms, TCCA AMO certification authorizes Aerocycle to:
- Operate under Transport Canada–regulated aviation standards
- Apply controlled, documented processes to aircraft disassembly and component handling
- Certify aircraft components for reuse, when all regulatory and quality requirements are met
- Maintain full traceability, quality control, and compliance throughout operations
This certification is central to Aerocycle’s ability to deliver trusted, compliant solutions for out-of-service and decommissioned aircraft.
Learn more through the official Government of Canada listing of Approved Maintenance Organizations on the Transport Canada website.
Issued by the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association
AFRA Accreditation
Aerocycle is accredited by the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA), the global industry body that defines Best Management Practices for responsible aircraft disassembly and recycling.
AFRA accreditation confirms that Aerocycle’s processes align with recognized industry standards for:
- Responsible aircraft dismantling
- Environmental stewardship
- Materials handling and documentation
- Transparency and accountability throughout recycling projects
This accreditation reinforces Aerocycle’s commitment to responsible aviation practices and continuous improvement.
Issued by the Aviation Suppliers Association
ASA-100 Accreditation
Aerocycle holds ASA-100 accreditation, the quality system standard developed by the Aviation Suppliers Association.
ASA-100 accreditation demonstrates that Aerocycle maintains:
- Robust quality management systems
- Documented procedures and internal controls
- Traceability and record-keeping aligned with aviation supply chain expectations
This certification supports confidence in Aerocycle’s documentation, processes, and component handling practices.
A voluntary industry accreditation
FAA AC 00-56
Aerocycle is listed under FAA Advisory Circular AC 00-56, a voluntary industry accreditation recognized internationally for aviation suppliers and distributors.
The FAA AC 00-56 listing complements Aerocycle’s Canadian regulatory authority by demonstrating alignment with internationally recognized quality and documentation standards. This is particularly relevant for organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions.
Issued by the Government of Canada
Controlled Goods Program (CGP)
Aerocycle is registered under the Government of Canada’s Controlled Goods Program (CGP), a regulatory framework that governs access to controlled goods, technology, and information with military or national security significance.
CGP registration ensures that Aerocycle applies strict controls related to:
- Access to controlled aircraft components and materials
- Protection of sensitive technical data
- Personnel screening and compliance oversight
This program adds an additional layer of security and regulatory compliance to Aerocycle’s operations, particularly when working with government entities, defense-related projects, or controlled aircraft components.
The highest levels of compliance
A Rare Combination of Aviation Credentials
Very few organizations worldwide hold the combined credentials of TCCA AMO certification, ASA-100 certification, AFRA accreditation, and CGP registration.
Together, they demonstrate Aerocycle’s ability to operate at the intersection of:
- Aviation regulation
- Quality management
- Environmental responsibility
- International industry standards
This rare profile assures airlines, lessors, OEMs, MROs, and government entities that Aerocycle operates with the highest levels of compliance, discipline, and transparency.

FAQ
Aviation Certifications
What does TCCA AMO certification allow Aerocycle to do?
TCCA AMO certification, issued by Transport Canada, authorizes Aerocycle to perform regulated aviation activities under approved procedures. It also enables Aerocycle to certify aircraft components for reuse, provided all regulatory, quality, and traceability requirements are met. It authorizes the company to operate the same regulatory framework as certified MRO organizations.
Why are aviation certifications important in aircraft recycling?
Aviation certifications ensure that aircraft disassembly, component handling, and documentation are performed safely and in compliance with regulatory standards. Without proper certification and traceability, aircraft components cannot be reused or resold.
How rare is this combination of credentials?
Holding TCCA AMO, ASA-100, AFRA, and CGP registration together is uncommon. Very few organizations worldwide maintain this level of regulatory and industry-recognized certification.
Are Aerocycle’s certifications recognized internationally?
Yes. While TCCA AMO certification is issued by Transport Canada, Aerocycle’s ASA-100, AFRA, and FAA AC 00-56 listing align with internationally recognized aviation standards and support operations across global markets.
