Enhancing Reliability: The Best Textron Aviation Parts for Your Fleet
The household name for aviation in the United States is Textron Aviation Inc. Textron is a massive company that acquired some of the biggest names in the business, which include Lycoming, Cessna, and Beechcraft. Beechcraft, of course, makes the most prolific military trainer aircraft in production, and other aircraft that are widely used in both the federal government and in military use. These are the King Air series of aircraft, the Hawker/Beechjet, and Cessna Citation, which we have written on all three quite a bit.
Textron owns some of the most successful and reliable engines and aircraft designs ever built, but reliability is also a derivative of a strong and reliable parts supply chain. Find out how this works, and how Greenwood Aerospace supports Textron parts!
Understanding the Importance of Reliable Parts
It goes without saying that reliable parts are crucial for ensuring the safety and efficiency of all aircraft, but especially when they are military, federal law enforcement, or other safety and national security is on the line. Maintenance is the leading factor for ensuring safety of flight for Cessna, Beechcraft, and basically all aviation assets. Preventive maintenance is always the preferable type of maintenance, and some types of PMs do require parts.
Unplanned maintenance, on the other hand, almost always requires parts for repairs and Textron aircraft parts should be your go-to for all Textron aviation assets. There are so many examples of using parts other than OEM and having reliability issues. Using genuine Textron Aviation parts can help prevent costly repairs and downtime because these are parts made on the same line as the parts that ended up on production aircraft.
Textron Aviation’s commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in their focus on providing high-quality parts. Sometimes there is no substitute for the real thing, and Textron aviation makes sure their parts hold up to the highest standards.
Benefits of Using Genuine Parts
Genuine parts are designed and tested to meet the highest standards of quality and performance. Unfortunately, counterfeit aircraft parts are a very real problem that have plagued aircraft owners and operators at all levels of operation. This was highlighted at the highest levels of journalism when Bloomberg uncovered a slew of counterfeit parts with forged paperwork. This is the worst case scenario, but it does happen.
Using genuine parts can help maintain the value and integrity of your aircraft. You know for a fact that the parts on your fleet are built and tested to the exact same design specs as those already on your aircraft, because they are the exact same parts.
Textron Aviation’s parts are designed to work seamlessly with existing models, including business jets and Hawker aircraft. This is a perfect segue for fleet maintenance managers of the T-1A fleet of jets, as Hawker was acquired by Textron Aviation.
Top Parts for Textron Brand Business Jets
Beechcraft and Hawker are major providers of aircraft for military service, most notably Beechcraft which provided many different models of the King Air as the C-12 Huron, the RC-12 Guardrail, and the MC-12 Liberty.
Aircraft parts designed for durability and reliability. The Beechcraft King Air is widely considered the most reliable turboprop aircraft of all time, it is the most prolific turboprop twin in the world, and it is no accident. Beechcraft put the time and effort into making a product so good that it would still be at the top of the game fifty years after it was put into service.
Textron Aviation’s parts inventory includes a wide range of components for business jets, and since most of the military versions are commercial off-the-shelf aircraft, the parts are identical. And since Textron has produced so many of these aircraft over the decades, many of the models share parts which has created a huge supply of parts.
