Rolls-Royce is the world’s leading engine supplier in business aviation, powering some of the largest, fastest, and longest-range business jets available. Rolls-Royce powers aircraft built by Bombardier, Cessna, Embraer and Gulfstream. Our products and services include the Pearl, BR725, BR710, AE3007, Tay, Spey, MR&O, and CorporateCare® Enhanced, the leading solution for engine care. This maintenance program offers increased asset liquidity, nacelle coverage and complete engine management, from line maintenance to shop visits. CorporateCare Enhanced, the comprehensive, fixed-cost engine maintenance management plan, provides customers with a global support infrastructure which includes: Engine Health Monitoring, a worldwide network of Authorised Service Centres and globally distributed spare parts and engines, all managed by our dedicated 24/7 Business Aircraft Availability Centre.

Engine Assurance Program extended its hourly engine maintenance coverage to include the Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada PW535E/E1 and Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C, which power the Phenom 300/300E and Gulfstream G450, respectively.
“When EAP began 10 years ago, it covered several variants of the TFE731. Today, we cover all variants of the TFE731 plus numerous General Electric, Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada, Honeywell, and Rolls-Royce engines,” said EAP managing director Sean Lynch. The Dallas-based company recently enrolled its 350th engine or APU.
Notably, the company operates a rental engine pool and spare parts inventory to support aircraft-on-ground situations. EAP dispatches technicians with needed parts when possible to reduce downtime, rather than requiring assessment visits followed by parts orders and return trips.
Fleet operators using multiple engine types can use one maintenance program instead of managing multiple manufacturer-specific plans, Lynch said. The company is not affiliated with any engine manufacturer.
Depending on the plan, coverage can include scheduled and unscheduled work, life-limited components, line maintenance, trend analysis, and catastrophic failures, EAP said.
