When Milton Costa of 12 Stones LLC landed his King Air C-90 at Stroud Municipal Airport on October 7, he needed a critical hot section inspection, and he needed it fast. Thanks to the Mint Turbines team, his aircraft was fully inspected and ready to fly again within two days.
Hot section inspections are a big deal for turbine engines like the Pratt & Whitney PT6A on the King Air. This is the part of the engine that operates under extreme heat and stress, and it requires careful attention approximately every 1,800 flight hours. Getting it done on time isn’t just about compliance…it’s about keeping the engine performing safely and reliably.
For Mr. Costa, the swift and professional service from the team at Mint Turbines was
a significant win. The prompt turnaround minimized the aircraft’s downtime, allowing him to
return to Texas and get back to business quickly.
Our strategic proximity to the Stroud Municipal Airport also plays an essential role in making this possible. With full-service facilities for general aviation, the airport isn’t just a convenient stop; it’s a hub where Mint Turbines can deliver top-notch service and support regional aviation growth. The ongoing runway expansion at KSUD only adds to its appeal as a base for aircraft maintenance in the region.
Whether it’s routine maintenance, repair or full overhaul, our FAA-authorized team keeps aircraft flying safely, just like we did for Mr. Costa.
