FAA Grants STC For 3-blade MT-Propeller On Rockwell Commander 112, 112B

Prop Previously Certified By EASA For The Airplanes

The FAA has granted an STC to MT-Propeller for the next generation 3-blade scimitar composite propeller MTV-12-B/188-59f for Rockwell Commander 112, 112B aircraft powered by Lycoming IO-360-C1D6 or IO-360-C1D6 with approved “Turbonormalizer”.

The installation is also certified by EASA.

MT-Propeller Vice-President Martin Albrecht said the certification flight tests have shown that the new propeller installation on the Rockwell Commander 112, 112B reduces ground roll & takeoff distance over 50 ft obstacle by 295 ft and increases climb performance slightly.

The propeller weighs about 29 lbs less than the original 3-blade metal propeller.

Due to its smaller diameter, the MT-Propeller for the Rockwell Commander 112, 112B has more ground clearance for less potential damage.

The MT-Propeller natural composite blades provide significant inside and outside noise reduction, the company says. They have no life limitation and are repairable in case of foreign object damage. They also provide best vibration damping characteristics for almost vibration free propeller operation and have bonded on stainless steel leading edges for superior erosion protection of the blades, according to a company news release.
