ANAC Brazil STC for Airtractor AT-602, AT-802() with 5-blade MT-Propeller
MT-Propeller Entwicklung GmbH received the ANAC Brazil STCs 2026S04-04 and 2026S04-05 for the installation of the Quiet Fan Jet natural composite 5-blade propeller MTV-27-1-()-C-F-R(P)-J/CFR300-82( ) on the Airtractor AT-602 and AT-802() series powered by the Pratt & Whittney Propeller Turbines PT6A-45 (AT-602), PT6A-60 (AT-602), PT6A-65 (AT-602, AT802) or PT6A-67 Series (AT-802).

These installations are already certifed by EASA, FAA and TCCA Canada (AT-802).

MT-Propeller Vice President Martin Albrecht says that the installation features the following advantages:
  • Best vibration damping characteristics for almost vibration free propeller operations.
  • Bonded on wide chord nickel alloy leading edges for superior erosion protection of the blades.
  • AT-802(): Take-Off improvement by 5%, so compared to the original AFM a higher safety for the calculated take-off run.
  • No propeller ADs.
  • TBO 4500 hours or 6 years, whatever comes first, for low maintenance costs.
  • No intermediate inspections on a agriculture installation.
  • No intermediate inspections are needed between the TBO which requires the propeller removal.
  • Reduced cost for spare parts, like blades and lower overhaul costs, for the complete propeller assembly.
  • No rpm restriction for the complete operational range.
  • No life limitation and repairable in case of an FOD.
  • AT-802(): ROC improved by 8% (Aerial Surveillance Configuration)
