Cileanci produzuju zivot svojim
Citat:The Service Life Extension Programme (SLEP) for the Comando de Aviación Naval Chile (Chilean Naval Aviation) PC-7s will keep the fleet airborne for at least a dozen more years.
Jane's reported that six aircraft are involved.
Contractor for this the SLEP will likely be Pilatus Aircraft AG, but this has yet to be decided.

Chilean Navy contracts overhaul of PC-7 powerplants
Citat:The Chilean Navy has signed a support agreement with US firm Prime Turbines to have the PT6A-25 turboprops of its fleet of Pilatus PC-7 Turbo Trainer aircraft fully overhauled and refurbished, according to sources in Santiago.
The first two engines are in the process of being sent to the United States, in what is the first step towards increasing the serviceability of the type, which has been in service since 1980.
The overhaul and upgrade of the aircraft had already been planned but a mishap with one of the seven surviving PC-7s, which had to make an emergency landing after an engine failure a month ago, added urgency to its implementation, the sources said.

Malezijci odvojili pare za remont svojih
Citat:The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) is set to be “back on its feet” with yet another service life extension programme for its aging fleet.
After Aerospace Technology Systems Corp (ATSC) announced that it had begun a refurbishment programme for the 18 Sukhoi Su-30MKM Flankers, Airod Sdn Bhd will undertake a similar programme for the 21 Pilatus PC-7 Mk II.
The New Straits Times understands that the PC-7 Mk II models, some of which have been in service for nearly two decades, will be refurbished to smoothen operations for the country’s ab-initio pilot training at the RMAF base in Alor Star, Kedah.
The RMAF had initially procured 44 of the first-generation PC-7 in 1983, but has since phased them out owing to wear and tear after 33 years.
