En Route New Cowling System Introduced for the PC-12 American Aviation, Inc. and Edmo Distributors, Inc. re- cently announced a new ram air cowling system for the Pilatus PC-12 called Speed Cowl. The system received an FAA Supplemental Type Certificate at the end of July. “Speed Cowl vastly improves ram air recovery to the turbine engine intake. This results in higher available torque at the same ITT settings, which significantly improves engine per- formance,” said Tim Gump, president of Edmo. “With Speed Cowl, PC-12 owners can now unleash the additional power that is available from their Pratt & Whitney PT6 engine.” Edmo reports that during flight tests, the true cruise airspeed was shown to increase by up to 18 knots at FL280. Also, time to climb above FL180 was reduced due to increased available torque. Performance improvements vary based on altitude, outside air temperature and ITT settings.

Pilots N Paws® is an online meeting place for pilots and other volunteers who help to transport rescue animals by air. The mission of the site is to provide a user- friendly communication venue between those that rescue, shelter, and foster animals; and pilots and plane owners willing to assist with the transportation of these animals. A general aviation transport requires just one pilot volunteer and is far more efficient and dependable than time-consuming ground transportation for these animals who are often in danger of euthanization. Volunteer pilots retain complete authority of their planning and flights, and can give as much or as little time as they like. Flights are tax deductible 501c3.
