McFarlane Aviation, a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality FAA-PMA aviation components, is pleased to announce the acquisition of South Seas Ventures’ extensive FAA-PMA product line. This strategic move significantly expands McFarlane’s support reach across the general aviation market and reinforces the company’s long-standing commitment to providing reliable, accessible parts for legacy aircraft, especially Beechcraft Bonanzas and Barons. The product line covers a broad selection of airframe replacement parts—from landing gear and door or step components to flight control and engine control hardware—along with associated items such as bolts, bushings, bearings, rod ends, steps, door handles, and an assortment of clips, springs, clamps, and rings.
“As the general aviation fleet matures, the continued availability and support of legacy platforms remain a vital priority,” said Mike Polanis, President, McFarlane. “Bringing the South Seas Ventures competed FAA-PMA product line into our system ensures these essential products remain available for years to come. We’re proud to expand our ability to serve customers who rely on these aircraft.”
“We’ve always been committed to supporting the owners and operators of these aircraft,” said South Seas Ventures Owner Michael Kobylik. “McFarlane shares that same commitment to quality, safety, and customer service. We’re confident that our customers will benefit greatly from McFarlane’s manufacturing capabilities, distribution network, and technical expertise.”
McFarlane plans a seamless integration of the South Seas inventory into its existing distribution operations, with no interruption in customer access. The company’s technical support staff is preparing updated product resources, documentation, and system updates to ensure a smooth transition. For aircraft owners and operators, the transition means enhanced continuity of parts availability and an expanded support team ready to assist. To order parts now, visit
