P&WC is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).

"The FAST engine health management solution is ideally suited to the RFDS, a long-time P&WC customer that continues to raise the bar as an adopter of digital technologies to support their life-saving missions and enhance its operations," said Tim Swail, Vice President, Customer Programs, P&WC.

PW307 Engine Customers See Significant Shift toward More Fully Planned Maintenance Environments Resulting from Pratt & Whitney Canada's Digital Engine Services and Proactive-Help Desk

Marketwire

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA--(Marketwired - Oct. 9, 2017) -

Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.

P&WC's PW300 Pro-Active Help Desk has significantly improved on-condition maintenance planning and reduced unscheduled interventions for specific key availability drivers on PW307-powered aircraft - from 85% in 2015 to 20% in 2017 - using predictive analytics and high quality, full-flight data from P&WC's FAST^™ (Flight, Acquisition, Storage and Transmission) prognostics solution. Both the Proactive Help Desk and FAST are among P&WC's expanding suite of Digital Engine Services, which drive optimized, on-condition maintenance tasks, minimizing the maintenance burden and creating a more planned environment for customers. P&WC is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).

P&WC's Proactive Help Desk is a dedicated team of aviation technicians and data analysts that use the predictive analytics developed from hundreds of thousands of flight hours of full-flight data captured through P&WC's FAST prognostic solution installed on the PW307-powered aircraft. The team also uses up-to-the-minute data analysis from P&WC's health management collaborator CAMP Systems International Inc., to address customer needs with data-driven decisions, preventative maintenance tools and best practices.

"We already deliver benchmark powerplant dispatch reliability of 99.94% on the Falcon 7X and 8X - and with the predictive and preventive approach to engine health management our customers are seeing the additional benefit of reduced variability and maintenance burden," said Tim Swail, Vice President, Customer Programs, P&WC. "We are demonstrating in real-time that when we put full-flight data together with high-quality, OEM-validated analytics and an expert team of engineers, we bring true value to our customers: Higher availability, lower costs and personalized maintenance recommendations."

The Proactive Team focused on several availability drivers and the team continues to pinpoint new "digital signatures" that indicate the potential occurrence of a future event well in advance so it can be addressed proactively or averted entirely.

The Proactive Help Desk was first introduced to customers of P&WC's PW300 engines that are enrolled in the Eagle Service™ Plan (ESP™) pay-per-hour maintenance program. The help desk is an added feature for customers who have invested in ESP coverage and P&WC's advanced diagnostics and prognostics solutions. The team conducts daily reviews of customer data from sources such as the FAST™ prognostics solution to identify and flag maintenance requirements so they can be addressed during scheduled field interventions.

FAST™ Solution

The FAST solution, offered under P&WC's expanding suite of digital engine services, provides full-flight data after each mission for more than 2,000 P&WC engines, a 50 percent increase of engines supported by the solution in the past 12 months. P&WC's FAST solution is available for numerous aircraft platforms serving hundreds of customers in general aviation, regional airlines, business jets and helicopters.

Oil Analysis Technology

Data provided by P&WC's new Oil Analysis Technology will also play a role in the company's help desk service by allowing for a highly accurate assessment of key oil-wetted components. The technology has been commercially launched for PW306A engine customers. For the PW306A engine now, and other engines in the future, P&WC sees its FAST and Oil Analysis solutions as complementary steps toward an all-encompassing view of the health and efficiency of in-service engines.

P&WC will be at NBAA, booth N2133. Interested operators are invited to drop by the booth to speak with a marketing or customer service representative.

P&WC has taken significant steps to ensure that the company's global support network is fully ready to provide operators with rapid, reliable and customized service. More than 150 frontline representatives have received training to provide customers with dedicated assistance going forward. More than 90% of the spare parts inventory has been stocked in parts distribution centres worldwide and are ready to be dispatched. Technical publications are 100% complete as a result of a strong ongoing collaboration with Gulfstream. The initial overhaul shop is ready to complete a final certification audit. These latest developments demonstrate that the PurePower PW800 is poised for a smooth takeoff.

Marketwire

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Oct. 3, 2017) - Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) announced today that its PT6C-67A helicopter engine - that powers the AW609, an aircraft that flies both horizontally and vertically - has achieved certification from Transport Canada. P&WC is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).

FAA validation of the PT6C-67A engine is expected by the end of 2017 and supports FAA certification of the AW609 in 2018 as the first commercial tiltrotor to enter operation.

"We were presented with a special challenge by Leonardo Helicopters - design an engine to power an aircraft that takes off and lands vertically, and flies horizontally well above adverse weather conditions at twice the speed and range of a helicopter," says Irene Makris, Vice President, Marketing, P&WC. "The PT6C-67A eloquently answers that challenge with 2,000 shp output that provides exceptional power to weight ratio, and durability."

The PT6C-67A benefits from the reliability of the PT6 engine family. It has a new compressor with advanced aerodynamics and the engine's new turbines are made with state-of-the-art materials. Together, the new compressor and turbine enable increased power and reduced fuel consumption. The engine has also been certified to allow for continuous operation in a vertical position.

"Enabling the speed and performance characteristics of the AW609, the PT6C-67A certification now drives tiltrotor development forward towards the future of aircraft transport," said Gian Piero Cutillo, Managing Director, Leonardo Helicopters. "This certification represents a milestone within the program that will allow us to certify the aircraft by the end of 2018 and remain on schedule with initial customer deliveries."

P&WC will be at Helitech, booth 10B35. Interested operators are invited to drop by the booth to speak with a marketing or customer service representative.
