Mike C. • Cost and schedule advantages on PW530/535: $1–$1.5M per engine pair (includes HSI), 4–6 weeks turnaround, 2,500-hour extension
I suspect they worked with Pratt to get their STC approved, it makes sense for Pratt as they are SO far behind on Hot Sections and overhauls.
$1.5M (and we all know it can be a lot more) Did you do the math?
You'd be just as well off on the program.

Pratt being behind is just artificial scarcity, something a monopoly can do at will to disempower their customers. TBO Extension STC never made any sense, costs way too much for what it is. You have to pay for their STC development costs, their profits, and their monitoring gizmos, which is why it cost way more than just an HSI. An owner operator doing an HSI without the STC does make sense. Mike C.

My assumption is that they are having Pratt or Standard Aero do the HSI.
As far as I know, no other shops can do events on the 500 series Pratts.

Seems like I get a lot of re routes when I fly these days and not loving the idea of adding big changes to the FMS manually. Having CPDLC would really simplify that panel in the Encore +
Mike You’ll get less reroutes when you go faster.
