Hartzell introduces propeller exchange program

Hartzell Propeller has introduced a propeller exchange program, as well as expanded its company-owned service network to five facilities across Ohio, Texas, California, and Canada.

Hartzell Exchange Program

Hartzell Propeller’s exchange program provides a propeller in the “fraction of the time typically required to complete a standard overhaul,” according to company officials.

When Hartzell receives an order, it assembles a propeller using new and overhauled parts from the company’s inventory and then ships or delivers that propeller directly to the customer. When customers receive the exchange propeller, they ship their current propeller back to Hartzell — or take advantage of the company’s pickup service — and note the propeller’s Time-Since-New to receive a credit on their final invoice, company officials explained.

Hartzell’s exchange program currently covers the following aircraft and propeller models:

• Beech 1900D
• Beech 1900C
• Beech 200 Series
• Beech 300 Series
• Raisbeck Beech 200 Series
• Raisbeck Beech 300 Series
• Beech E90/C90/C90GT
• Cessna 208(B)
• Cirrus SR20
• Cirrus SR22
• Daher TBM
• Diamond DA-40
• Pilatus PC-12
• Piper Seminole
• Viking Twin Otter.

Expanded Service Network

Hartzell has also expanded its network of company-owned propeller maintenance facilities, which now includes five locations:

• Hartzell Service Center (Piqua, Ohio)
• American Propeller Service (Redding, California)
• Canadian Propeller (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada)
• Texas Aircraft Propeller & Accessories (Pearland, Texas)
• Tiffin Aire (Tiffin, Ohio)

Hartzell-owned service facilities, which provide maintenance, overhaul, inspections, and support for Hartzell, McCauley, MT-Propeller, and Sensenich propellers, also provide a warranty for Hartzell propellers: Two years or 2,000 flight hours, whichever occurs first, company officials noted.

The company has also launched a redesigned website, HartzellServiceCenter.com, which allows customers to schedule their service appointments online and track their propeller throughout the repair process.
