Pratt & Whitney Canada, a business unit of Pratt & Whitney, recently revealed its Service Guarantee Program (SGP) for the company’s PT6E-66XT engine. SGP is a unique maintenance and service solution for Pratt& Whitney’s PT6E-66XT engine which was selected by the French aircraft manufacturer, Daher in April 2022 to power the company’s new TBM 960 aircraft. The SGP creates a simplified ownership model with personalized counsel and service provided by a specialized Pratt & Whitney Canada support team.
In a first for this type of program, the SGP will cover environmental damage to engine components caused by erosion, corrosion and sulfidation. The SGP is said to elevate the traditional PT6A “peace-of-mind ownership” to an entirely new level by covering all “gap” items discovered. It features a digital connection between this team and the aircraft driving a suite of exclusive proactive services which enable predictive maintenance. The maintenance and service solution was created and tailored to meet the needs of TBM 960 owners.
Nicholas Kanellias, vice president, General Aviation, Pratt & Whitney Canada said, “Just as the new PT6 E-Series engine family ushered in a new era in general aviation, so too does our Service Guarantee Program for the PT6E-66XT engine set a new standard in engine care and peace-of-mind ownership for TBM 960 owners,”. “The SGP goes far beyond coverage of routine maintenance to include unscheduled events; it leverages data related to the engine’s operating performance and health to provide proactive, personalized support and enhanced service experience. The SGP is an effective tool that fosters aircraft availability and reliability, and facilitates rapid return to service if an issue does arise.”
