Our Story: Good to GREAT

The Slick magneto is a good magneto and has been in service for many years, powering thousands of aircraft. The process of PMA’ing detail parts for the Slick magnetos started over 20 years ago and continued through the introduction of the Kelly Aero PMA direct replacement for the Slick magneto, first introduced in 2020. Hartzell Engine Tech can now incorporate everything that has been learned in the past, apply new thinking and manufacturing processes, and create a GREAT magneto.

Learn From Your Mistakes; Don’t Reinvent The Wheel

PMA’s are not transferred from company to company, they are resubmitted for approval. Every time a PMA application is submitted, service difficulty reports, service bulletins, and airworthiness directives must be reviewed. PMA’s are not a copy of the original, but an improvement on the original. We had the opportunity to “design out” these failure modes and we did. Coils, capacitors, impulse couplings, points and gears have all been redesigned and improved.

Educate the Customer And Provide Value

PowerUp magnetos are available in PMA new, factory overhauled, and aftermarket overhauled. Understanding the workscope and which price point best meets your needs, is what we do best.
