Transport Canada has granted type certification for the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67P that will supersede the PT6A-67B on the Pilatus PC-12 production line, the turbine engine manufacturer announced here in Atlanta.

The latest version of the -67 turboprop retains the 1,200-shp flat-rated power of the 67B, but with a 15-percent increase in thermodynamic power, up to 1,824 thermal equivalent shp, from 1,605. The increase will give the new PC-12 faster climbs and higher cruise speeds.
