Blackhawk’s Caravan Engine Upgrade Certified
The FAA has issued an STC authorizing Blackhawk to offer the XP42A Upgrade for the Cessna Caravan 208B.
The new program exchanges the Caravan’s standard engine for a more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada 850 SHP PT6A-42A factory-new powerplant. The XP42A program aerodynamically alters the Caravan’s cowling and replaces the aircraft’s original nose with a streamlined carbon composite cowling that accommodates the larger engine. Other enhancements include two new Frakes exhaust stacks, a Hartzell four-blade propeller and
a Blackhawk lifetime customer support guarantee.
The XP42A Upgrade Program will significantly expand Caravan performance margins, effectively doubling the aircraft’s rate of climb while using less fuel. Operators can also expect 20-percent improvement in takeoff performance and a 15 percent increase in cruise speed. The upgrade also provides free enrollment in CAMP Systems’ Aircraft Maintenance Tracking Program and the Trend Group’s Turbine Trend Analysis Program.
“This is the ultimate win-win opportunity,” said Allmon. “This upgrade can pay for itself through increased revenue generation and reduced operating costs. Caravan operators will now have the power they need to take off from the most remote corners of the world, or even their local airports, with greater overall safety margins.”
The company has already logged 17 XP42A Upgrade sales, according to Allmon. Work is under way today at the company’s W•aco, Texas, facilities, and the first delivery is scheduled for August. T&T
