OSHKOSH, Wis., July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Pratt &
Whitney, a division of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), today
announced it has launched Know My PT6 – a data-rich mobile app to
help its customers around the world optimize the performance and
availability of their PT6-powered aircraft.
"We design high-performing, reliable engines because our
customers expect to be able to fly their aircraft whenever and
wherever the mission demands," said Nicholas Kanellias, vice president, General
Aviation at Pratt & Whitney. "To complement the dependability
of our engines, we also offer many services that help operators
best manage their engines, wherever they are. We are very excited
to be adding our new Know My PT6 app to our range of
customer-centric services."
Know My PT6, available for Apple and Google Android platforms,
builds on the popular and widely used Know Your PT6 booklet that
guides PT6A engine customers. The app is a digital gateway to
maintenance recommendations and to the services and facilities that
P&W offers through its global customer service network for
engine maintainers, owners, operators and pilots.
How the app works
Upon opening the Know My PT6 app for
the first time, users can select their aircraft model and
manufacturer, so that information can be curated accordingly. The
app includes all the Know Your PT6 booklet content, excerpts from
relevant Service Information Letters, access to the P&W
customer portal, immediate contact with our Customer First Centre,
and an interactive world map to quickly identify and reach
authorized service centres and parts distributors. Customers can
receive news alerts, watch videos on a range of topics, explore the
extensive library of helpful insights found on Pratt &
Whitney's customer blog Airtime, view models of the various
PT6 engines with descriptions and schematics of design features,
engine controls and operational and maintenance
recommendations.
"We continue to invest and develop a highly diversified engine
and services portfolio based on our in-depth knowledge of our
customers' needs," said Kanellias. "We believe it is imperative
that customers be able to access the information they need, when
they want it. The Know My PT6 app allows just that."
