ATLANTA, March 7, 2023 – Pratt & Whitney Canada, a business unit of Pratt &
Whitney, today announced the rollout of new Remote Maintenance Kits comprised
of strategically selected parts and tooling for helicopter engines that will
support aircraft availability and maintenance autonomy. The kit is offered to
customers enrolled in the company’s Eagle Service™ Plan (ESP™)
pay-per-hour maintenance plan as part of their investment in the program.
“Similar to a first-aid kit, the Remote Maintenance Kit is kept at the
customer’s premises or maintenance facility and used on an ‘as-needed’
basis to ensure operational readiness,” said Christopher (Scott) McElvaine,
vice president, Business Development & Commercial Services, Pratt & Whitney
Canada. “While our ESP program provides predictable budgeting for engine
maintenance and peace of mind, the new Remote Maintenance Kits enhance the
value that our customers derive from ESP.”
The remote maintenance kits are available to ESP customers flying the
following engine models: PT6C-67C, PW207C, PW206C, PW206B2/B3, PW207D1/D2. The
strategic collection of engine parts and tooling is contained in a compact and
light-weight case. It includes specialized cables, an ignition exciter and
Stabilant 22, borescope guide tools to perform engine diagnostic tests, spare
parts such as fuel and oil filter elements, retaining rings, and seals – all
designed to return a helicopter to service as quickly and efficiently as
possible. With critical parts and tooling on hand, customers avoid parts
delivery delays, and shipping and customs issues.
“We introduced this concept to customers of our business jet engines several
years ago,” said McElvaine. “Based on customer response, we believe the
Remote Maintenance Kits will prove popular with our helicopter engine
customers as well.”
Pratt & Whitney Canada’s New Services Hub
In October 2022, Pratt & Whitney Canada launched its new self-serve digital
tool called the Services Hub. The Services Hub is a guided online experience
that enables customers and maintenance professionals to quickly and easily
find the right maintenance products and services based on the customer’s
aircraft and engine model and will include the new Remote Maintenance Kits.
