At Hartzell Propeller, we are a company of aviators. That means we value not only the joy of flying but also aircraft safety and performance for pilots around the world. Operating an aircraft in need of a propeller replacement or overhaul can be a dangerous risk. Here are three signs your aircraft is ready for propeller maintenance or upgrade.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve reached your prop\u2019s operational life limit<\/b><\/h3>\n

It may seem obvious, but it\u2019s important to pay attention to your propeller\u2019s time before overhaul (TBO). \u00a0Flying your aircraft with propellers beyond their intended service life is inadvisable and potentially dangerous. Overhauling or upgrading your propeller is an investment in your aircraft\u2019s future safety and performance. Hartzell\u2019s Top Prop conversion propellers offer an extended warranty all the way through first overhaul\u2014the longest in the industry\u2014enabling pilots to reduce costs while promoting overall safety. \u00a0Hartzell also offers a world class service center to complete your propeller maintenance and repair, and a global network of Recommended Service Facilities. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your propeller is damaged due to impact or corrosion<\/b><\/h3>\n

All propellers are vulnerable to corrosion and damage from exposure to inclement weather. That\u2019s why it\u2019s vital to do a <\/span>pre-flight safety inspection<\/span><\/a> of your propeller (and entire aircraft) before and after every flight to ensure there are no small cracks or blemishes, which can turn into major problems in the air. If you do find a crack or imperfection, be sure to contact a certified aircraft care professional and consider an overhaul or replacement. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re ready for a dramatic performance increase<\/b><\/h3>\n

When you\u2019re ready for an impressive performance increase from your airplane, Hartzell\u2019s aluminum and ASC-II composite propellers can make all the difference. Through our <\/span>Top Prop conversion program<\/span><\/a>, pilots can dramatically improve aircraft performance in one or more of these areas: shorter take-off distance, lower noise levels, better ground clearance, reduced tip erosion, increased climb rate, increased cruise speed, and overall smoother operation. We\u2019re passionate about providing pilots opportunities to improve their aircraft while promoting safety. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to learn more about the Top Prop conversion program or have questions about overhaul and replacement, please contact the experts in our <\/span>Service Center<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
