Honeywell has announced that Aero-Dienst has become a certified maintenance provider for the HTF7000 engine nacelle system. The turbofan powers several super-midsize business jets such as the Bombardier Challenger 300/350/3500, Cessna Citation Longitude, Embraer Legacy 450/500 and Praetor 500/600, and Gulfstream G280.
Under the approval, Aero-Dienst can perform services associated with the nacelle. They include removal and return of various elements, corrosion and defect inspection, replacement of defective parts, and the use of the protective, anti-corrosive Mapaero coating.
Honeywell’s HTF7000 has achieved more than 10 million flight hours. Among its key design features is the ability to conduct many maintenance procedures and inspections on-wing, with a corresponding reduction in aircraft downtime. Additionally, line-replaceable units are designed to be easily changed using industry-common tools.
