- McCauley Propeller Systems' C780 propeller receives ANAC certification for Beechcraft King Air B300 series in Brazil, marking a strategic achievement.
- The new propeller offers significant weight savings, improved performance, and extended maintenance intervals for over 700 King Airs in Brazil.
- Textron Aviation (TXT, Financial) provides installation options at their service centers or authorized facilities without additional modifications.
McCauley Propeller Systems, a division of Textron Aviation Inc. (TXT), has announced that its C780 propeller specifically designed for the Beechcraft King Air B300 series has obtained certification from the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC). This accreditation is pivotal given Brazil's position as the second-largest installed base for Beechcraft King Air turboprops worldwide.
The high-performance C780 propeller features four aluminum swept blades with a 105-inch diameter and offers over 50 pounds in weight savings compared to previous models. This translates to enhanced takeoff and climb performance, reduced noise levels in both the cabin and cockpit, and an extended Time Between Overhaul (TBO) of 5,000 hours or 72 months. A 5,000-hour or 36-month limited propeller warranty from Textron Aviation further complements these benefits.
King Air B300 owners can have the C780 propeller installed at any Textron Aviation Service Center or Authorized McCauley Service Facility without any additional modifications, ensuring a seamless upgrade process. This development underscores McCauley's commitment to providing smart solutions tailored to unique mission profiles and regional needs.
