Abstract
Turbine Conversions has been converting aircraft using P&WC engines since 1990, but company president Bill Hatfield first encountered the PT6 engine when he installed a PT6A-34AG engine in his Grumman Ag Cat in 1975. "I still fly my Grumman Ag Cat, and that PT6A-34AG engine continues to serve me well after more than 40 years," said Mr. Hatfield, one of the most respected and well-known pioneers of the agricultural industry. "The relationships I have built with P&WC employees over the years have likewise endured and helped empower our business and those of our own clients. We are delighted to have struck yet another arrangement with P&WC to power our Cessna 206 conversion."
"Turbine Conversions has consistently demonstrated its understanding of the factors that drive successful conversion programs," said Denis Parisien, Vice President, General Aviation, P&WC. "With the 206 turbine conversion program, our PT6A-21 engines will replace piston engines so operators of the converted aircraft will benefit from a considerable increase in power, better hot and high performance and a TBO (time between overhaul) of 3,600 hours. Combined with that is our OEM warranty and a global customer support network that is second to none."
