hot section and overhaul costs

[Bmay]

Anyone out there have some idea what the going average bill for a hot section for a 200 king air? How about a complete overhaul? I know there is lots of variation in the costs, but just curious.
Also how about the hot section and overhaul costs for a citation bravo and a CJ?

Well if you have to ask....only kidding, no idea.

If you don't get a decent answer from someone here I would call the service center to get an idea...I'm sure you could negotiate a discount based on their first number.

Call Hale Aircracft in Hampton, Ga. Whatever they tell you, double it and expect to be without your plane for 2-3 months!! They did hot sections on one of our Lr 24's--$70K for one side, $50K for the other. When the plane came back, one engine would shut down when thrust lever was pulled to IDLE. RPM was low on the other engine at IDLE. They've been working on this since November--still not fixed. Great work guys!!

Your first hot and first overhaul is generally the cheapest. At the second overhaul, the costs go up. Things that were reusable on the first, are just tossed in the trash. Anyway, our B200 overhauls usually costed $250,000-$300,000. 250 for the first, close to 300 for the second. Hots usually run between 40K-70K. Get your bird to a good service center that knows King Airs, and work with them to get the engines to a reputable overhaul facility like P&W, Standard aero, or Dallas Airmotive. Beware that there are a lot of looney tunes out there for overhauling and programs for the PT6. In pricing overhauls, you will either pay for it now, or pay for it later. If you go cheap now, something will break, and later, you'll pay for it.

If it's a really high time engine (Moore Program), you could be into the high 300's or low 400's. A lot of componets could be cycled out or not reusable.
A new PT6-42 from PW is around high 400's. Hopefully you have a lower TT engine. If that is the case, the previous post are pretty accurate. Be careful who you business with. You'll pay now or later.
