PT6 Engine Monitoring

Aeronautic Investments Inc, provides and supports PT6 engine monitoring solutions that prevent engine failure and reduce operating costs in fixed-wing and rotary aircraft.

Types of Monitoring

Benefits

  • Reduce operating costs
  • Optimize equipment usage
  • Increase engine life
  • Observe monitored parameters over time to improve aircraft performance
  • Decrease periodic maintenance
  • Increases pilot and owner awareness on aircraft performance and condition
  • Identify problems before a major failure occurs
  • Increase efficiency and economy
  • Pilot workload is not increased since data is recorded automatically during flight

A PT6 engine monitoring solution has:

  • A processor that collects data
  • A system that downloads and transmits data to a web server
  • Harnesses
  • Sensors
  • A web server that generates reports from data
  • Analysis of trends

How a PT6 engine monitoring solution works:

  1. With each flight, each equipment logs date, flight start time, duration.
  2. The system can be configured to record out of limit parameters and hot starts. These are the limits specified by the manufacturer of the engine.
  3. Upon landing all data is automatically transferred to a web server  portal for analysis.
  4. Email reports are automatically sent by the portal within minutes.
  5. This is the best real time solution for PT6 engine monitoring.

The availability of full engine data leading up to and following an event has the potential to dramatically reduce post-flight diagnosis and engine repair time.

We are capable of performing installations of monitoring equipment in Latin American countries. Installations are also performed in other countries with support from Pratt & Whitney Engine Services.
