April 17, 2012

MT-Propeller Entwicklung GmbH has yet received the FAA STC for the next generation 4-blade scimitar composite propeller MTV-16-1-E-C-F/CFL225-37a on the Piper Model PA-31P Navajo with the Engine Lycoming TIGO-541-E series. FAA STC No. SA02959NY, the installation is also certified by EASA STC No. 10032680.
