October 20, 2015
For the 1st time in the 23-year history of Pro Pilot Magazine’s annual operator survey, readers ranked GE Aviation #1 in the 2015 Turbine Powerplant Product Support Survey.
The survey asked turbine operators to rate engine manufacturers on a scale of 1 (poor) to 10 (excellent) in seven categories:
GE Aviation and its Authorized Service Centers offer comprehensive line maintenance, removals and re-installations of engines and line-replaceable units (LRUs) and engine spares for CF34-3 engines. GE Aviation provides ASCs with comprehensive material support and training. OnPoint comprehensive service solutions offer GE customers unique benefits not only during operation – where operators receive comprehensive coverage, including a global network of GE field representatives and ASCs – but also in the resale market. Aircraft valuation companies estimate the residual value of a CF34-3-powered aircraft covered with an OnPoint solution agreement is increased by $2 million.
Since its service entry in 1983 on the Challenger 601 Corporate Jet, the CF34 has earned an industry-leading reputation as one of the most durable, fuel efficient and reliable engines in its class. Today, CF34 engines are in service with more than 1,000 business jet operators.
