<strong>MRO</strong> and Production News 11 Pratt & Whitney Canada’s ground-breaking Oil Analysis Technology has made its debut at EBACE <strong>2017</strong>, as a commercially available solution on PW3<strong>06</strong>A engine-powered business aviation aircraft. P&WC’s Oil Analysis Solution will provide an innovative oil system prognosis capability, also playing a role in the company’s new proactive help desk, which was also launched at EBACE, starting with the PW300 engine family. The Oil Analysis Solution will enable P&WC to identify potential maintenance events at an early stage so they can be addressed proactively or avoided entirely. Customers will receive personalized reports and maintenance recommendations based on oil sample findings, enabling optimized shop-visit planning. What’s more, PW3<strong>06</strong>A engine customers who enrol in an Eagle Service Plan (ESP) pay-per-hour program will benefit from the service at no additional cost for the rest of the year. The solution will be part of the standard ESP program for PW3<strong>06</strong>A engines starting in 2018. P&WC has developed and optimized an oil analysis program by working closely with operators, FBOs and aircraft OEMs. Many of them have taken part in an ongoing customer trials as early adopters to help diversify the oil sample base and calibrate the technology across a variety of P&WC engine models. To date, nearly 4,000 oil samples have been received across all engine families. With trials continuing on other engine models, the solution will keep evolving as a knowledge base continues to grow.
