Turbine Conversions (TCL) has chosen Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) to provide its PT6A-21 engines to power Cessna’s 206 aircraft turbine conversion programme.

The PT6A engine has so far been used to power 125 different applications.

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.

"Turbine Conversions has consistently demonstrated its understanding of the factors that drive successful conversion programmes."

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."
