Pratt & Whitney Adds Video to PT6A Engine Rigging Series for Cessna Caravans

: Jun 22, 2020 - : 6:25 pm

Pratt & Whitney has launched a new video as part of its engine rigging video series for pilots, owners and maintainers of Cessna Caravan aircraft. The series now includes rigging videos for aircraft powered by either PT6A-114A or PT6A-140 engines. Rigging is the process of hooking up engines to an aircraft’s body.

“Proper rigging is important because it improves aircraft handling, passenger comfort and environmental performance, while reducing pilot workload, unscheduled maintenance and operating costs,” said Nicholas Kanellias, vice president, general aviation, at Pratt & Whitney. “The rigging video series is an example of how we are continuing to provide readily accessible and relevant support as well as practical information to help simplify and improve the operations of our customers.”

The videos were filmed in the Tropic Air hangar, a regional airline based in San Pedro, Belize, and show the basic set-up of the engine control system, final rigging and engine adjustments. The content is designed to help customers save both time and money and ensure proper engine rigging for a single aircraft or for an entire fleet.
