It\u2019s not rocket science \u2013 it\u2019s a simple fact. Absolutely nothing happens in the air if an aircraft\u2019s\/rotorcraft\u2019s starter generator fails on the ground. Instantly, the aircraft is grounded, your schedule integrity vanishes, and the operator\u2019s revenue drain begins. So, consider Thrust Tech Accessories (TTA) as your invaluable, \u201cgo-to\u201d resource when AOG trouble strikes, and your aircraft needs a perfectly functioning starter generator.<\/p>\n

For instance, TTA can install a new or overhauled starter generator such as the PN: 203080 \u2013 Series (from -001 to -064), which are designed for a wide range of aircraft. Among them are the Jayhawk, Beechjet, Bell, Cessna Citation, Embraer, ERJ\/EMB, Hawker Beech, Learjet, PT6, Saab, Sabreliner and Sikorsky. (See accompanying image<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

\u201cOur skilled team can provide exchanges and outright sales of starter generators for these aircraft, as well as overhaul services, a bench test, functional testing and more,\u201d says Stanley Kowlessar, TTA\u2019s general manager.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we know time is critical for any AOG (aircraft-on-the-ground) situation, so we\u2019ll do our best to provide prompt service.\u201d Based near Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport in South Florida, TTA is a highly experienced, veteran-owned MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) services company. So let\u2019s take a look at the wide range of roles these aircraft play around the globe, crucial roles that depend on unconditional operational reliability.<\/p>\n

Keeping Your Fleet Mission Ready <\/strong><\/p>\n

Installing new or refurbished parts in any aircraft \u2013 civilian or military \u2013 equates to a \u201cvital mission.\u201d For instance, a twin-engine T-1 Jayhawk<\/strong> jet, manufactured by Raytheon, is a for advanced U.S. Air Force military training missions for student pilots or officers needing flight procedures training.<\/p>\n

Another version, the Beech T-1A is essentially a swept-wing military version of the Beechjet\/Hawker 400A, first delivered in 1992. Many students who fly this jet trainer ultimately will pilot airlift or tanker aircrafts. Plus, the T-1A supports navigator training for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and international services. Also, a T-400 variant is used by the Japanese military.<\/p>\n

Besides the T-1 Jayhawk and its variants, the HH-60J Sea Hawk, informally known as a Jayhawk, is in contrast, a medium-range recovery helicopter. Its critical air missions vary from law enforcement to search-and-rescue and marine eco-protection efforts. In addition, a totally different Jayhawk \u2013 the Sikorsky MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter \u2013 is used primarily by the U.S. Coast Guard. With advanced navigation equipment on board, it\u2019s used for law enforcement, military readiness and environmental efforts.<\/p>\n

While the starter generator component we are discussing today does not apply to rotorcraft airframes, TTA does in fact also service helicopters. But that\u2019s another story (please read more<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Supplying Professional MRO Services and Parts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, one fact is certain. The global aviation industry is brimming with an increasingly diverse portfolio of aircraft and rotorcraft types \u2013 military and civilian, big and small, fixed wing or rotorcraft. \u201cWhatever aircraft type you operate, it\u2019s a given that you\u2019ll eventually \u2013 often sooner than later \u2013 need professional MRO services or parts,\u201d says Kowlessar.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany regional airlines, corporate aircraft operators, private aircraft owners, and rotorcraft operators trust TTA and consider us their front-line, solution-oriented asset to assist with an emergency AOG or other more routine maintenance and repair services,\u201d he emphasizes.<\/p>\n

Specializing in airframe and powerplant accessory repair and overhaul, TTA has been certified for more than three decades by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). TTA also is certified by the European Union Safety Agency (EASA) and the United Kingdom\u2019s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Other certifications include AS9110C and ISO9001:2015.<\/p>\n

Working skillfully on customers\u2019 behalf, TTA can offer a diverse range of OEM (original equipment manufacturer and PMA (parts manufacturer approval) parts. The range of options is prolific. In addition to that starter generator PN series mentioned above in this blog, TTA also can provide a PN: 28B421-2-C air-conditioning generator, for instance. Plus, it can offer aircraft\/rotorcraft electronics and ignition igniters, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel boost pumps, \u00a0emergency batteries, and much more.<\/p>\n

An added plus? TTA owns more than 60 PMAs and 50 DERs (designated engineering representative) used in the repair and overhaul of units. \u201cWe also maintain an extensive inventory of parts, which we proactively doubled during the pandemic,\u201d explains Kowlessar, and \u201cwe offer competitive pricing.\u201d So, give TTA a call today at 800-935-0875 or 954-984-0450, with no obligation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re more than happy to just chat, learn more about your aircraft or rotorcraft operation, and also advise you about what MRO services and parts that we can offer,\u201d says Kowlessar, \u201cWhether it\u2019s a starter generator or another part or service, we know what\u2019s important for aircraft or rotorcraft operators. We strive to keep your aircraft flying safely and fulfilling its vital mission.\u201d<\/p>\n
