Kent-based Pacific Propeller International LLC (PPI) has been designated as the primary repair and overhaul center for the 54H60 propeller system by UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Being selected by UTAS is a real distinction and honor for PPI and its affiliates, C&S Propeller and PPI Technical Services. The agreement enables PPI and UTAS to take C-130\/P-3 propeller maintenance and technical development to the next level,” said Al Hayward, PPI’s vice president of sales.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Under the agreement, the UTAS Maastricht facility will no longer provide 54H60 repair and overhaul services. All tools and equipment will be acquired by PPI and re-located to its 64,000-square-foot facility in Kent. Furthermore, PPI will have complete access to UTAS technical publications and technical support for the 54H60 product.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Robert Schechtman, Hamilton Sundstrand’s Propeller Systems Business Manager, noted, “In a review of their repair services offered, UTAS considered a primary Licensee assignment to PPI as the preferred sustainable solution for future maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) requirements.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
