INAC Venezuela accepts five-blade STC for King Air 200
This installation provides general performance improvement, around 25lbs less weight than the original 4-blade propellers and there are no propeller speed restrictions on ground while operating in low idle.

Instituto Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil de Venezuela (INAC Venezuela) has accepted FAA STC SA03209NY for the installation of the MTV-27-1-E-C-F-R(P)/CFR225-55f Quiet Fan Jet composite propeller on the Hawker Beechcraft King Air 200 series powered by P&WC PT6A-41, -42, -52 or -61 propeller turbines.

This installation is already certified by EASA, FAA Transport Canada, ANAC Brazil and DGAC Mexico.

MT-Propeller vice president Martin Albrecht says that the installation features the following advantages:

- General performance improvement (five per cent take off and climb, three kts cruise with 1,800rpm).

- Approximately 25lbs less weight than the original five-blade propellers with aluminium blades.

- No propeller speed restrictions on ground while operating in low idle.

- Unbeatable aesthetic ramp appeal.

- All models comply with the strict German Landeplatz Lärmschutz Verordnung noise regulations of 2010 for unrestricted airport operations in Germany and other European countries.

Due to its smaller diameter, the MT propeller for the Beech 200 Series has more ground clearance for less blade tip erosion and FODs. The long time proven natural composite blades provide significant inside and outside noise reduction. They have no life limitation and are repairable in case of an FOD. They also provide best vibration damping characteristics for almost vibration free propeller operation and have bonded on nickel alloy leading edges for superior erosion protection of the blades.
