Blackhawk Modifications,provider of engine upgrades for turbine powered aircraft, has gained European (EASA) approval of the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-135A engines for the Conquest I.

Having upgraded 16 percent of the Conquest I fleet, popular demand for the factory new PT6A-135A engines led Blackhawk to pursue worldwide certification. The added performance and value associated with the Blackhawk XP135A Conquest I engines continues to attract Conquest I operators investing in their plane's safety and long-term value.

Blackhawk has the largest non OEM engine contract in force with Pratt & Whitney. The engines are priced based on the Pratt exchange programme and credit is issued for time remaining to overhaul on core PT6A-112 engines.
