Prince Aviation has successfully completed a major maintenance undertaking: the replacement of eight engines across four Textron Aviation 560 XLS+ aircraft, all completed within just five days.

All eight Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines were replaced as part of scheduled overhaul work. Each day, between six and eight AMTs worked directly on the aircraft, supported by our planning, logistics, technical administration, and maintenance organization teams.

Engine replacement is a critical task. It demands the additional involvement of experienced mechanics who must carry out an independent inspection of the engine installation and engine systems.

Doing this once is serious work. Doing it in parallel across four aircraft, in such a short timeframe, is another matter entirely – one that requires meticulous organization, tool and parts preparation, coordination of personnel, and strict adherence to every procedure.

“For me, this is a strong indicator of what a well organized team can do,” said Filip Stojanovic, maintenance manager at Prince Aviation. “I believe we’ve shown that we have the people, the knowledge, and the capacity to take on jobs like this – and to complete them to a high standard, within the agreed timeframe.

My thanks goes out to every colleague who took part, especially the mechanics who spent the most time on the aircraft. From the outside, work like this might look like just another maintenance task, but behind it stands a great deal of effort, coordination, and responsibility.”

This project reflects exactly what Prince Aviation stands for: the people, the expertise, and the operational capacity to deliver demanding work – reliably, and on time.
