Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC, Booth 4428) is highlighting its new suite of maintenance solutions for mature helicopter engines offered under the P&WC Smart banner, “developed in direct response to customer demand,” according to the turboshaft OEM.
The solutions include a refresh program for PT6T-3 and T400 engines that offers a core exchange for a new PT6T-3B Twin-Pac, power section or gear box; a flat-rate overhaul for PT6B-36A/B engines; and capped costs for overhaul and hot section inspection on PT6B-37A engines. “This is an example of the company responding to the various in-field challenges that operators face,” said P&WC vice president of customer service John Di Bert.
Whatever their MRO needs, P&WC engine operators now have additional servicing locations and facilities available. The company recently appointed Dallas Airmotive and H+S Aviation of Abu Dhabi as designated overhaul facilities for turboshaft engines and for MRO services.
Dallas Airmotive provides support for P&WC’s PW206 and PW207 engine families and will add the PW210 series engines by year-end. In addition to the PW206 and PW207, H+S Aviation supports the PT6C-67 and will also add the PW210 family by year-end and PT6T engines next year.
“We are always looking for ways to enhance service delivery and make support easily within reach anywhere in the world,” said Di Bert.
