A subsidiary of United Technologies, P&WC has employed PT6 technology to produce more than 46,000 engines, 23,000 of which are currently in service.
Equipped with modular reverse-flow design, the PT6A engine can be installed in single and twin-engine configurations, as well as tractor and pusher propeller configurations.
P&WC general aviation vice-president Denis Parisien said: "Turbine Conversions has consistently demonstrated its understanding of the factors that drive successful conversion programmes.
"With the 206 turbine conversion programme, 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 3,600h."
