TBO Extension is excited to announce that we’re bringing the same Engine Time Interval extension solution you’ve trusted on JT15D engines to the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW530A and PW535A series engines for Citation Bravo and Citation Encore jets.Â
​For more than a decade, we’ve helped operators get over 2,000 additional hours on their JT15D engines with an FAA-certified STC installed on more than 200 engines worldwide for a fraction of the cost of an overhaul.Â
​Now, that same expertise is expanding into the PWC530/535 market — delivering a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective solution for Bravo and Encore owners.
• Our program will be officially introduced at NBAA BACE, October 14–16, 2025, in Las Vegas (Booth #3775)
• Be among the first in the industry to lock in this capability
• Pre-launch 2026 pricing available for operators who commit by November 1, 2025 and place a deposit by December 31, 2025.
An OEM overhaul can cost in the neighborhood of $3 to $4M with 6 to 9 months of downtime.Â
The TBO Extension Engine Time Interval STC is a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the downtime.
That means you keep your aircraft in service, save millions, and add up to 2,500 hours of service life to your PW530A/PW535A engines.Â
Instead of taking a loss, you create real transferable asset value if you were to sell your aircraft.
• Proven track record: TBO Extension’s JT15D program has been fielded successfully well over 200 times
• Path to stronger asset value: Less downtime, lower cost, more flight hours
• Cost and schedule advantages on PW530/535: $1–$1.5M per engine pair (includes HSI), 4–6 weeks turnaround, 2,500-hour extension
• Limited inventory: Pre-launch slots and kits will move fast
