Beechcraft maintenance in Czeh ?
Am looking information about JAR approved Kingair maintenance facilities in the Czeh Republic.
I remember having read about a company which was retrofitting Kingair with the eastern equivalent of PT6 , but at half the price .

Bon Jour Porco, I have not heard of any approved conversions for the Walter engine into a King Air other than the two issued by the FAA to
Performance Conversions Inc and Lonestar Propjets.

Thanks FerryDude
Actually, I am not interested in the walter conversion . A friend of mine, based in Slovakia, is considering buying a Kingair, and am gathering information for him regarding maintenance over there .
I do not know of any approved workshop in Slovakia, but am pretty sure there is one in Czeh Republic ... Can't remember where

Hi, PR. My contacts have failed to come up with the name of any KingAir maintenance in Czecho that is approved by JAA, and they conclude that such an animal doesn't exist.
I would estimate that the chances of their making an error on this is only about 20% so if your friend wants to go ahead, he may have a problem!

Just a quickie,
You do realise that, if we are talking about 90/200. then these a/c are NOT listed on the JAA/EASA type rating list (they are below 5700Kgs) and there is therefore unlikely to be a listed approved JAA maintenance organisation. At the moment a/c below 5700Kgs are allowed to be maintained under a countries own national authority regulations (although it is possible for a company to seek JAA authorisation).

Yep, another friend of mine was unsuccessful tracing such a facility in Czech . No big deal since there are plenty of approved facilities in Germany and Austria (Well ...a bit further than Prague .. )
