StandardAero has launched a new, customized accelerated response program to support PT6A operators with hot section inspections, repairs and on-site field services. This new program—PT6A Fastlane—includes on-wing inspections by a certified StandardAero field service representative, service center support and OEM approved repairs.  In most cases, StandardAero can complete on-wing inspections and most repairs within three days if booked 30 days in advance.

Primary engine models for the Fastlane program include PT6A-41/-42/-60A/-114A/-135A.  Dozens of other PT6A engine models may also apply. With the 30-day advance provision for scheduling the services, StandardAero will guarantee a one-day turnaround time for inspection and two days for engine workscope repairs. 

Operators are required to provide StandardAero with engine performance data one week before the scheduled service along with accurate engine logbook information with updated LCF data (times and cycles). In addition, customers’ aircraft must be available when StandardAero’s technician arrives on site. The customer must provide access to proper hangar and support equipment.

StandardAero is a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A designated distributor and overhaul and facility.
