FASTTM System Activation
Applicability
All PT6A-140 powered aircraft with FASTTM System installed
Introduction
This SIL is issued to provide system activation information for the PT6A-140 powered aircraft with FAST
Systems installed. The FASTTM system





automatically collects data from the Engine and/or Aircraft,
calculates Turbine blade Creep usage required for SB1903 TBO extensions,
detects and annunciates engine exceedances and
The data can be uploaded to a server accessible through the internet either manually via a laptop
cable connection or automatically via wireless cellular transmission.
The wireless cellular capability provides automated delivery of engine performance data to a
centralized database, without operator intervention, provided an active SIM Card is installed to
use the wireless cellular transmission feature.
P&WC strongly recommends activating the automated data transmission capability as the trend monitoring
effectiveness is significantly affected by the timeliness and quality of the data to the data analysis center.
Definitions
“FASTTM” FAST (Flight Data Acquisition Storage and Transmission) is an onboard communication system
designed and certified for FAR Part 25 & Part 23 aircraft. The FASTTM system automatically collects data
from the Engine and/or Aircraft and provides automated delivery of engine performance data to a centralized
database, without operator intervention, provided an active SIM Card is installed to use the wireless cellular
transmission feature. The data can be uploaded to a server accessible through the internet either manually
via a laptop cable connection or automatically via wireless cellular transmission.
“SIM Card” A SIM (subscriber identity module) card is used in most Mobile and Smart phones today. The
SIM card is provided by the cellular network operator to identify the user to the network and thus facilitate
the devices access to the provider’s network.
“ECTM” (Engine Condition Trend Monitoring) is a process in which changes in certain performance
parameters of an engine are analyzed on a regular basis. This is done to help provide early detection of
engine performance deterioration due to wear or malfunction of engine components and accessories in
order to minimize unplanned downtime and maintenance costs.

Additional details regarding the ECTM services and recommendations can be found in the latest revision of
SIL GEN-055.
“WebECTM® Services” is the sole ECTM system recommended for P&WC engines in accordance with the
applicable EMM or SB. The WebECTM® system uses proprietary equations which optimize detection of
shifts in engine performance. No other system is currently recommended by P&WC for this analysis,
including previous versions of local ECTM® System IV, ECTM® System V and HECTM System II. Please
note that these ECTM® programs have not been supported or updated by P&WC since 2004.
