Blackhawk Aerospace has dealer-installers around the world for support, plus all of engines can be serviced by the OEM, Pratt and Whitney Canada, at one of their service centers located nearest you.

Blackhawk does not perform installations. Although the installation is basically an engine change and can be done by any Pratt & Whitney Canada certified facility, we have found that you will save time and money if the upgrade is performed by any of our approved installation facilities worldwide. These facilities have the experience to complete the upgrade faster and with the higher exacting quality you demand.

Blackhawk orders all engines a year in advance. We can usually deliver within 30-60 days or sooner. Call for timing on the next set of available engines.

In addition to worldwide product support and product branding, Blackhawk XP Engine+ Upgrades offer the following benefits:

• Listings in Jetnet, AMSTAT, Aircraft Bluebook, and Vref
• Worldwide market acceptance with the largest installed fleet of upgraded corporate size turboprop aircraft in the world
• Full customer support department with on-staff technical support technician, customer service representative, and worldwide distribution and service center network
• The Blackhawk Owner’s Group
• The strongest resale value of any engine upgrade on the market
• Approval by the FAA (United States), EASA (Europe), DGAC (Brazil)

Since the upgrade price already reflects the value of the cores, you can keep your core engine if you are willing to pay Pratt & Whitney Canada for the core. Prices will depend on core engine times.

Pratt & Whitney Canada (PW&C) offers an engine credit for every hour remaining to the factory TBO. To qualify, the core engine must have enough cycles on the life-limited components to make TBO and all records supporting the component times and cycles must be present and submitted. Waiting until TBO risks the possibility of a core engine problem, resulting in additional core charges from PW&C. Also, prices from P&WC increase every year, so waiting two or three years would mean a higher investment without any of the time-remaining credit.

Blackhawk offers transformative performance without the risks of buying new: Will you be able to sell your aircraft for the value you expect? Will there be unexpected costs to acquire your new aircraft? Will there be unexpected issues not uncovered by the pre-buy? Upgrading with Blackhawk eliminates uncertainty and the transactional costs of buying another aircraft while transforming the performance and utility of the aircraft you know best.

Why wait to start enjoying the many benefits of an upgrade? Save money on every mission you fly, increase the capability of your aircraft, and take advantage of generous core credits for time remaining. Over half of Blackhawk’s customers upgrade with more than 500 hours remaining.
