Periodic checks are necessary for the PT6A engine in your aircraft to guarantee optimal performance and longevity, much like you would take your automobile in for routine maintenance. The Hot Section Inspection (HSI) is an essential component of this maintenance schedule.

For over 35 years, Jetset Airmotive's PT6 Hot Section Inspection has checked and certified that all engine components are up to FAA flight regulations. With so many moving parts and the critical importance of their efficiency, PT6 engine hot sections are the meat on an aircraft’s bones, and JSA knows exactly what to look for where. From turbine blades to combustion chambers, stators, vane rings, and compressors, JSA provides affordable preventative care that’s more cost-effective and practical than a complete engine overhaul.
