The 8th Annual Latin American Business Aviation Conference and Exposition (LABACE) in São Paulo turned out to be a busy one for Dallas Airmotive do Brasil with the signing of three contracts with Brasilian aircraft operators. “The show was an overwhelming success for us,” commented Hugh McElroy, president
of the BBA Aviation Engine Repair and Overhaul Group who was on hand for each of the signings involving TFE731, PW100 and PT6A turbine engines. “While the three contract signings and the large volume of discussions with operators during the show are success indicators, the greater significance to us is the growing demand for what we can provide across many locations in South America. This increasing demand speaks loudly to us as to what services we can provide and where they are needed.” Dallas Airmotive do Brasil, located in Belo Horizonte, opened August 2009. “The demand
for our services has outpaced our greatest expectations to the point that the company is adjusting its plans to accommodate increasing capacity,” continued McElroy.

avmain-mag.com | October / November 2011 P&W EcoPower Engine Wash Extends to Helicopter Market
Pratt & Whitney has completed its first EcoPower engine washes on a U.S. Navy SH-60 Seahawk helicopter at Naval Base Coronado, Calif.

EcoPower engine wash is the first environmentally sound solution for washing helicopter engines,” says Lou Quattrocchi, Pratt & Whitney Product Line Management vice president. “The closed-loop system of the EcoPower engine wash uses pure water and no harsh chemicals, making the whole process safe and environmentally responsible. Helicopter engines can now be washed anywhere on the flight line with EcoPower.”
