Jet Aviation Expands Service Capabilities at its Hawker Pacific Facility in Cairns

Jet Aviation’s Hawker Pacific facility in Cairns, Australia (YBCS), has received FAA authorization to install its aural alerting equipment on aircraft at the facility. This approval extends the company’s exclusive arrangement with Pratt & Whitney Canada for engine prognostics equipment service and support. Development of the alert system, including the looms and installation hardware, was completed exclusively at Hawker Pacific Cairns.

The Hawker Pacific Auxiliary Aural Alerter System alerts pilots when an aircraft engine is about to exceed its operating limitations, enabling pilots to act quickly to avoid costly engine damage. The system integrates with the Diagnostics, Prognostics and Health Management (DPHM) unit on P&WC equipped aircraft to provide tones and voice callouts to the pilot’s headset, directing them straight to the area of concern.

Hawker Pacific Cairns has worked closely with P&WC to gain international approvals for retrofitting aircraft with P&WC products, with the “on aircraft” engineering development and trial installations completed in Cairns. During the development process, Hawker Pacific gained expertise in the product resulting in the team travelling internationally to install the P&WC systems on aircraft in countries such as India, Indonesia, Nepal, Japan and China.

Jet Aviation/Hawker Pacific is exhibiting at the Singapore Airshow from February 11 - 16, 2020. Please take the time to visit their Chalet (#CD47).
