The Hartzell Service Center in Piqua, Ohio, has introduced a purchasing program for used serviceable propeller cores and serialized parts directly from aircraft owners, fleets, and MROs. The enhancement aims to help reduce overhaul lead times while giving customers more buying options when acquiring parts, it added.
At Hartzell’s discretion, customers can reduce the purchase price of a new or used Hartzell propeller by selling their existing serviceable propeller for any general aviation aircraft make or model. All core purchases require complete logbook information detailing maintenance history, applicable 8130-3 certificates, and a recorded time since new (TSN).
Backed by warranties and lead times, the Hartzell Service Center offers product support, engineering expertise, and factory-level repairs. The center’s proximity to Hartzell’s composite and aluminum propeller manufacturing operations means quicker availability of spare parts without the added time and expense of shipping.
Customers can also benefit by taking advantage of Ohio’s sales tax exemption by having the maintenance and repair work performed in Piqua. Located near Piqua Airport/Hartzell Field, the Hartzell Service Center allows customers to fly in and hangar their airplanes while mechanics service the propellers. Customers may also choose pickup and delivery options, including global shipping.
