The Hartzell Service Center in Piqua, Ohio, has introduced a purchasing program for used serviceable propeller cores and serialized parts directly from aircraft owners, fleets, and MROs. The enhancement aims to help reduce overhaul lead times while giving customers more buying options when acquiring parts, it added.

At Hartzell’s discretion, customers can reduce the purchase price of a new or used Hartzell propeller by selling their existing serviceable propeller for any general aviation aircraft make or model. All core purchases require complete logbook information detailing maintenance history, applicable 8130-3 certificates, and a recorded time since new (TSN).
