The electronic engine management thus permits data to be saved that is required for the maintenance, fault analysis and the ongoing improvement of the engine.
• Ease of Maintenance.
• Modern technology in the overall design, components, materials and production process (traceability back to molten mass).

Comfort

• Reduction of operating cost up to 60 per cent because of low consumption and lower fuel price
• Lower Training Costs

Performance

• Excellent climb performance up to 13,500 ft and approved to 18,000 ft.
• 135 hp take off power and 122 hp in 10,000 ft
• 97 hp cruise power in 17,500 ft
• Longer Range
