Blackhawk Aerospace has received FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) approval for the integration of its XP67A Engine+ upgrade with the Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion avionics system. Under the STC, factory Fusion-equipped King Air 350is and 360s are now eligible for Blackhawk Aeropace’s aftermarket XP67A conversion, which increases the power and fuel efficiency of these aircraft.

According to Blackhawk Aerospace, the conversion—which uses Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67A engines—translates to a significant reduction in operational costs and an increase in longevity for King Airs.
