CASCADE RECEIVES THRUSH “BEAST” CERTIFICATION
Cascade Aircraft Conversions has received the FAA STC certifications to install Pratt & Whitney’s 867 SHP PT6-140AG on both the THRUSH 510P and 510G model aircraft. As an owner of a THRUSH 510P or 510G model, this STC upgrade increases your acres per hour and the profitability of your business. For owner/operators operating AG aircraft at higher elevations or higher temperatures, this upgrade substantially increases productivity. The Cascade Aircraft Conversion’s “BEAST” STC complete includes the following: firewall-forward bolt-on kit, zero-time PT6-140AG (w/full warranty), zero-time Avia 108” 3-blade prop, new engine mount and Cascade Pressure Cowl system – providing longer service life for the new turbine. Also, included is the engine Boost Start System that provides 1400-degree, cooler starts in under 15 seconds with no maintenance batteries.
The conversion features the industry-leading Cascade Pressure Cowl – proven to deliver more clean air to protect the turbine in all environments. The pressure cowl performs exceptionally in dusty/sooty, dry/arid, and FOD-heavy locations while reducing ITT temps and fuel consumption. While maintaining a no-FOD history, this critical system really delivers on maintenance allowing easy access to service both the air-filtration system and fuel nozzles. A higher volume of clean air maximizes the longevity of heat-critical components and the engine.
The 4000-hour P&W TBO 140AG turbine produces 867SHP up to 111 degrees OAT. The integrated Cascade Pressure Cowl will make your Thrush 510P or 510G a true 500-gallon aircraft every day of the year at TRUE 10,500 gross weight. At higher altitudes or rising OAT, the Cascade conversion eliminates the need to download which in turn maximizes your efficiency and profitability all day long while extending powerplant lifetime and minimizing maintenance overhead. Call Cascade to secure your 140AG “Beast” STC Kit or other performance products and power up your business.
