By General Aviation News Staff · August 25, 2015 ·

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Spirit Aeronautics has fulfilled the requirements to expand its FAA Approved Capabilities List to include additional engine service ratings for turbine powered (jet) engines.

The company now offers service on Pratt & Whitney JT-15, Pratt & Whitney PW545, Williams International FJ44-4, Rolls Royce AE 3007 and Honeywell (Garrett) TFE 731 engines.
