Standard Aero Clinches T56 Engine Maintenance Deal
Dunlop Standard
Aerospace Group Limited's subsidiary company, Standard Aero, has
been awarded a one year contract with four renewable one year
options to provide Depot Level Repairs for the Navy's T56 Series
III engine modules.
The contract is structured as an estimated $84.7 Million
indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity for the one-year term, with
similar revenue estimates on renewal of the contract.
The T56 Series III engine powers the Navy's fleet of P-3 Orion,

Derivatives of this engine are also used to power various US Navy
frigates. Standard Aero claims it has over 40 years of experience
in maintaining the Rolls-Royce Allison T56/501 family of engines
and will draw upon this experience to provide superior customer
service to the U.S. Navy.

President of Standard Aero's Government Services Division.
"We are confident that
our proven maintenance practices coupled with state of the art MRO
technologies and facilities will ensure the Navy is provided with
reliable engines capable of effective performance in all
environments the aircraft are flown in," said Jim Henry, Vice
President of Engineering for Standard Aero Government Services
Division.
