The Parker engineering team spent the past 18 months developing,
refining, and certifying an FAA technical standard order (TSO) and
STC-approved wheel and brake package for the aircraft that offers a
number of significant advantages, including greater ease of
maintenance and reliability, significantly lower maintenance costs,
and the capability to meet or exceed the current published braking
distance requirements for the aircraft.
The field-proven external caliper design provides substantial
cost savings and improved reliability to both private commercial
owners of the aircraft as well as military users, and is being
offered as a competitively priced conversion kit.
“Customers want lower maintenance costs, reliability, worldwide
availability of parts through a reliable distribution system, and
premier customer service,” said Parker Aircraft Wheel & Brake
Division Business Team Leader Thomas Dorinsky. “We are delighted to
be able to provide owners and operators of the PC-7 Mk1 aircraft
with a new STC-approved conversion kit that fulfills these
requirements.”
The new conversion kits (P/N 199-282) will be available in April
2018. Advanced orders for the kits can be placed through Parker’s
distributor Aviall or through the Parker Aerospace customer support
team in Irvine, California. The conversion kit contains all
assemblies, parts, manuals, and paperwork necessary to convert one
aircraft to Cleveland equipment.
