StandardAero’s Regional Turbine Center (RTC), located in Belo Horizonte, received new authorizations from the aeronautical authorities of Argentina and Chile to allow aircraft of operators registered in both countries to perform engine maintenance, repair and overhaul services.
According to our partner Aeroin, Argentina’s authorization is called «Certificado de Habilitación de Taller Aeronáutico de Reparación» or Aeronautical Repair Shop Authorization Certificate. For Chile, the authorization is called «Certificate of Qualifications and Limitations for Recognition of Foreign Repair Station».
As a result of these new authorizations, aircraft registered in Argentina and Chile can now be supported by StandardAero’s RTC Brazil in different ways.
In addition, StandardAero’s Brazil Mobile Services Team (MST) can travel to operators’ locations in Argentina and Chile and perform services for their aircraft. Finally, operators in Argentina and Chile can also send their engines and APUs to Brazil for maintenance at StandardAero’s facilities.
«We are delighted to bring these expanded services to this important region of the world,» said Jeff Turner, StandardAero’s vice president of RTC and MST Network. «These entitlements are significant and, rather than waiting for North American support and services, our customers can now receive local support from OEM-authorized facility and personnel closer to and in the region.»
StandardAero’s RTC Brazil supports the following engine platforms: Honeywell TFE731, HTF7000, GTCP 36 APU and Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A, PW100, PW500 and JT15D.
These turbines power a variety of turboprop and piston aircraft, such as the ATR 42-300/320/500, ATR 72-200/500, De Havilland Dash 8-100/200/300, DHC 6 Twin Otter, Pilatus (PC-6, -7, -9 and -12), King Air, Bonanza, Cheyenne, Cessna 208 Caravan, Beechcraft 1900 and others.
Also executive aircraft such as the Cessna Citation, Learjet 31/35/40/45/45/55/70, Dassault Falcon 10/20/50/900, Embraer Legacy and others.
