Hartzell Propeller Service Center Doubles Warranty Length
The Hartzell Service Center’s warranty on work performed at the Federal Aviation Adimintration (FAA)- certified repair station in Piqua, Ohio, is now two years or 2,000 flight hours, whichever occurs first, extended from one year or 1,000 flight hours, whichever occurred first.
As the Hartzell factory-owned repair station for the overhaul and repair of Hartzell props and governors, the Hartzell Service Center offers a sizable propeller exchange inventory supporting numerous aircraft. To provide convenience and to prevent longer flight downtimes, it is expanding its propeller exchange program to include more aircraft which includes the Beechcraft King Air 200 and 300 series, the Raisbeck Beechcraft King Air 200 and 300 series and the Beechcraft E90, C90 and C90GT. Customers are encouraged to contact the Hartzell Service Center to schedule the delivery of an exchange propeller to meet their maintenance schedule needs.
In addition to a propeller exchange program, the Hartzell Service Center is now offering propeller governor exchanges for customers requiring minimum flight downtimes. A governor exchange also can be arranged ahead of scheduled service.
The Hartzell Service Center offers product support, engineering expertise and factory-level repairs. The service center’s proximity to Hartzell Propeller’s aluminum and composite propeller manufacturing operations means
