Legacy Engine Assurance Program (Leap, Booth 740) has launched to provide affordable maintenance plan coverage for operators of Honeywell TFE731 and Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D engines that power more than 3,000 business jets.

“Over the last decade, airframe, engine and engine part values have dropped substantially; however, the traditional engine programs have actually increased in price,” said Leap president and founder Sean Lynch. “Leap takes advantage of the substantial parts and services discounts now available and passes that value directly to our customers.”

Leap currently covers JT15D-4/5 and TFE731-2/3/5 engines with additional platforms to follow. There are three program options: comprehensive, proportional and catastrophic.

Comprehensive covers all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, including life-limit parts, LRUs, loaner engines, line maintenance and 24/7 access to Leap’s AOG assistance. Proportional safeguards those starting without a full buy-in on a basis equivalent to remaining time between overhaul time and covers overhauls and comprehensive services by a percentage amount to the remaining equivalent. Catastrophic coverage is limited to failure to an engine before its next scheduled event and also covers the failures of LRUs and includes AOG and troubleshooting support.

Leap also has full APU coverage for the GTCP-36-100A, 36-100E and Sundstrand T62T-40C3A/3A1.
