Extended Repair And Replacement Program Provides Additional
Global Support Options For Gulfstream And Pilatus Platforms
Honeywell introduced the Mechanical Protection Plan (MPP)
Thursday at EBACE. The new extended repair and replacement program
is designed to help customers avoid downtime while driving
predictable and manageable maintenance costs. The program will
cover Environmental Control Systems and Cabin Pressure Control
Systems (ECS/CPCS) for select Gulfstream and Pilatus models. It is
expected to be available starting in Q3 2011.
“The Honeywell MPP extended repair and replacement program
is the smart choice for pilots and operators seeking to minimize
the risk related to repairs and replacement parts, plus the added
expense of worldwide coverage,” said Tony Brancato, Vice
President, Business and General Aviation Aftermarket at Honeywell.
“Honeywell is proactively offering these types of extended
repair and replacement programs and services so that operators can
select the best option for managing their maintenance budgets while
reducing the complexity of their operations.”
Providing coverage for mechanical parts, the MPP repair and
replacement program offers extra peace of mind for operators and
pilots of ECS/CPCS systems on many different aircraft platforms
including the following Gulfstream models: G350, G450, G500, G550,
GV, G400, GIV and GIVSP. Pilatus models include the PC-12 and the
PC-12 NG.

MPP extended repair and replacement builds on other well
established Honeywell maintenance programs such as the Maintenance
Service Plan (MSP), the most widely used engine and APU maintenance
program in business aviation, and the Honeywell Avionics Protection
Plan (HAPP), enhancing the maintenance management choices available
to operators.
The extended repair and replacement program also offers full
coverage on exchange and repair services at a predictable fixed
price. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week
for Aircraft on Ground (AOG) emergency service, paid air-freight
and no charge loaner parts. It does not require a buy-in and is
fully transferable should an aircraft be sold.
In addition, the program uses a network of global supply depots
and Honeywell’s Spares Exchange Program (SPEX) to get
customers airborne as soon as possible. As part of the SPEX
program, spare parts are made available in case a customer needs
them at short notice.
