One of the first FAA qualified certification consultants

In 2005 JDA became one of the first two companies qualified as an FAA Certification Consultant for new Part 121 entrants. Certification requires arduous FAA training and scrutiny. In November 2009 the FAA renewed JDA's Certification Qualification for an additional two years.

In 2005, Republic Airlines contracted JDA to assist with their new certification and develop its entire manual system. Republic Airlines became a certified Part 121 air carrier in 2005.
