Pratt & Whitney Announces Twinpac Overhaul Program

PT6T-6, PT6T-3 Engines Gain New Maintenance Option for Helicopter Operators

A new program for military customers operating Bell 212 and 412 helicopters is on the books courtesy of Pratt & Whitney Canada, offering operators of the PT6T-3 or PT6T-6 Twinpac engines a streamlined way to keep their engines in top condition.

The program offers the usual “original equipment manufacturer value and genuine Pratt & Whitney Canada parts and services” - likely at the usual OEM cost. That’s not too big an issue for military customers, however, thanks to their often disconnected relationships to their own accounting department. Twinpac engines in military roles remain popular, much like their PT6 cousins spinning away on business aircraft around the world. The family has logged more than one billion hours of flight time since its initial introduction in 1963 - and that’s why it’s the ‘blue chip’ of propeller drivers.

"Our P&WCSMART portfolio was developed to assist customers flying mature engines, in many cases requiring an overhaul," said Irene Makris, vice president of Customer Service at Pratt & Whitney Canada. "This new P&WCSMART military program for PT6T-3/6 engines on military fleets takes into consideration the mission and environment of military customers by offering overhaul costs that are predictable, allowing our customers to accurately budget for their engine maintenance costs."
