The Hartzell Service Center in Piqua, Ohio is introducing a purchasing programme for used serviceable propeller cores and serialised parts directly from aircraft owners, fleets and MROs. The enhancement aims to help reduce overhaul lead times, while giving customers more buying options when acquiring parts.

At Hartzell's discretion, customers can reduce the purchase price of a new or used Hartzell Propeller by selling their existing serviceable propeller of any general aviation aircraft make or model. All core purchases require complete logbook information detailing maintenance history, applicable 8130-3 certificates and a recorded Time Since New.

Backed by industry leading warranty and lead times, the Hartzell Service Center offers product support, engineering expertise and factory-level repairs. Its proximity to Hartzell Propeller's composite and aluminium propeller manufacturing operations means parts are available more quickly, without the added time and expense of shipping.

Customers can secure additional cost savings by taking advantage of Ohio's sales tax exemption, by having the maintenance and repair work performed in Piqua. Located near Piqua airport/Hartzell Field, the Hartzell Service Center enables customers to fly-in and hangar their aircraft while the propeller is being serviced. Customers may also choose convenient pick up and delivery options, and global shipping is available.
