Dallas Airmotive has reduced the engine overhaul turnaround time for select Pratt &amp; Whitney PW206C engines in Leonardo AW109 Power helicopters from 60 days to 35 days. This 41 percent reduction is capable through smart sourcing specific engine component parts. The work still follows OEM-recommended Instructions for Continued Airworthiness and includes OEM-recommended service bulletins.

 


The reduced PW206C maintenance option for AW109 Powers are available at Dallas Airmotive’s facility in Dallas. Dallas Airmotive encourages operators to schedule their PW206C overhaul a minimum of 60 days in advance.

 





 


Quick-turn not only reduces downtime, but it also decreases operator costs associated with engine rental fees and decreased mission availability, the company said.

 “The quick-turn overhaul option is designed for our customers with helicopter missions that don’t allow for much time on the ground,” said Mark Stubbs, chief commercial officer of global engine services. “We understand their frustration and what is at stake when it comes to extended time without their engines, as many of our customers are mission-focused.”


 


AW109 Power customers are primarily within the corporate transport, emergency medical, search-and-rescue, law enforcement and maritime and land mission industry sectors, Dallas&nbsp;Airmotive&nbsp;noted.

 “Customers tell us that price, turnaround time and quality are their primary decision factors when it comes to the maintenance of their helicopter engines, and we aim to deliver on all three,” Stubbs said.
