Hartzell Extends Warranty on Raisbeck STCs for King Air Propellers

Expanded Warranty Coverage for Raisbeck Performance Upgrades

Hartzell Propeller has announced an extension of the propeller service warranty for newly purchased Raisbeck Engineering STC performance upgrade packages fitted with new Hartzell propellers on King Air aircraft. The revised warranty now covers the propellers through the first overhaul, defined as 6 years or 4,000 flight hours, whichever comes first. This represents a significant increase from the previous warranty terms, which were limited to 1 year or 1,000 hours for aluminum propellers and 3 years or 3,000 hours for composite propellers.

This enhanced warranty applies broadly to Raisbeck STC upgrades equipped with Hartzell propellers across multiple King Air models. It encompasses all Raisbeck configurations, including the original power props, the 4-blade swept aluminum propellers, and the 5-blade composite propellers designed for the 200 and 300 series aircraft.

Reliability, Performance, and Industry-Leading Support

Raisbeck’s performance upgrade options include both Hartzell’s 4-blade aluminum and 5-blade composite propeller configurations, which are recognized for their reliability and enhanced performance. The new warranty extension ensures protection through the first overhaul, providing operators with increased confidence in their investment. Additionally, customers can combine this warranty with Hartzell Service Center’s standard coverage, which offers an extra 2 years or 2,000 hours of protection when the overhaul is performed at a Hartzell MRO Service Facility.

Jon Stoy, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Hartzell Propeller, emphasized the significance of this development, stating, “This warranty enhancement is a testament to the confidence Hartzell has in our propeller technology and manufacturing processes. We are proud to support Raisbeck King Air operators with unmatched reliability, value, and now the longest warranty in the industry for STC propeller upgrades. It’s another step in delivering total propeller support through Hartzell Propeller and Raisbeck Engineering.”

Gregory Davis, President of Raisbeck Engineering, echoed this sentiment, noting, “Our work with Hartzell Propeller continues to deliver exceptional upgrades for the King Air fleet. This greatly extended warranty reflects our shared commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Operators can fly with even greater peace of mind knowing their investment is protected through the first overhaul and beyond.”

All Hartzell propellers are manufactured in Piqua, Ohio, and supported globally through the company’s extensive network of service centers.
