FAA STC Approved By European Agency For Precision Conversions,
Leth & Associates
The FAA STC (STO1857SE) allowing for a Maximum Zero Fuel Weight
(MZFW) increase on the Precision Conversions 757-200PCF freighter
has been approved by the EASA the company announced Monday in
conjunction with Leth & Associates. The MZFW STC allows for up
to an additional 8,000 lbs payload increase for both Rolls-Royce
and Pratt & Whitney powered 757-200PCFs above line number 210,
and also allows for up to an additional 4,000 lbs payload increase
for both Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney powered 757-200PCFs
below line number 210. The weight upgrade STC, developed by Leth
& Associates, approves the MZFW increase on the Precision
Conversions passenger-to-freighter conversion STC (ST01529SE) and
increases the total payload on the 757-200PCF up to a potential
80,000 lbs.
Brian McCarthy, Precision Conversions' Vice President, Marketing
and Sales, said, "Precision Conversions continues to move forward
with its commitment to produce the most flight efficient 757
freighter on the market." He added, "The EASA approval is yet
another example of our commitment to maximize the worldwide
flexibility of the flight efficient, high payload 757-200PCF."
Precision Conversions expects that the majority of current and
future customers will want the weight upgraded version of the
757-200PCF because it allows operators to fully capitalize on their
revenue generating ability. Precision Conversions has re-delivered
a total of 29 freighters operating in Europe, North and South
America, India, Africa, and P.R. China.
