S.W.A.T.
SUMMARY & CONCLUSION The older and more experienced engine mechanics are already familiar with the topics in this article. Hopefully these more experienced mechanics will consider this article a helpful refresher course. As for the younger and less experienced engine mechanics, it is hoped that the lessons provided in this article will be used to prevent the kinds of problems that cause prematurely gray hair. This can be said another way: “Pay me now or pay me later.” The choice is yours!
Ralph Hawkins is the chief engineer for MORE Company, Minden, NV. MORE Company holds eight FAA supplemental type certifi cates (STCs) providing alternative instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) for PT6A engines. These STC(s) prescribe an enhanced inspection methodology that allows the operator and their mechanics to recognize engine problems in their early stages and to correct them promptly. In turn, the prompt correction of engine problems allows the engine overhaul interval to be safely extended to 8,000 fl ight hours. These eight MORE STCs include several of the techniques mentioned above, as well as several additional techniques that are especially well suited to the PT6A turbo prop engines. The MORE Company STCs apply to PT6A-11 through PT6A-45R and PT6A- 110 through PT6A-135A engines. MORE Company began providing the use of their alternative Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to operators in the autumn of 1993. As of January 22, 2015, there were 2,243 PT6A engines operating in fi fty countries that are now or had been using MORE Company’s STCs. MORE’s web site is
