Technical and Engineering Support Services
“Experience is worth its
weight in gold”
Some examples of services that IAP can
supply are as follows
IAP are world leaders in the support of the
the Rolls Royce Dart engine. We have
amassed
hundreds of collective years in
operation , maintenance and overhaul of the
Dart during the past 30 years.
Experience such as this has become scarce
and we often find that operators are relying
upon expensive MRO facilities to provide
engineering support , which is often basic at
best.
IAP over the past 30 years has been a
vendor , stockist , MRO and operator of the
Dart engine and has unrivaled availability of
experienced personnel to be able to provide
ON SITE support as and when needed by
our customers.
This support can be ad hoc as or contracted
for 24/7 peace of mind.

RR Dart Support
Rda 6 , Rda 7 , Rda 10
and Rda 12 support
IAP are able to provide
the following services
at your location
1. H.S.I.
Many operators do not realise that
the Dart can have a Hot Section
Inspection carried out “on the wing” .
IAP will arrive with all the necessary
parts to accomplish this including
Nozzle Guide Vane replacement ,
Flame tube/ Combustion replacement
and if necessary power restoration.
2.Power Restoration
Often the compressor surfaces
become contaminated with oil
(especially with a leaky prop) and
sometimes corrosion. Power can be
restored with caerful Walnut blasting .
IAP will arrive with all the necessary
equipment
3. Engine installation and rigging
Many new operators lack the
equipment and skills to accomplish an
engine change. IAP can supply all
necessary equipment to remove and
replace the prop and engine
assembly - using “Master instruments”
and most importantly rig the engine
correctly .
4. Propeller Build up
The Dowty prop ships in a dismantled
condition. Special tooling and skills
are needed to correctly assemble the
prop. IAP can accomplish this at your
location
5. QEC Build up
Whilst not difficult it is time consuming
and most Darts are supplied in Basic
configuration requiring a QEC build
up. Rigging of the engine starts at
this point
6. Training
IAP can supply on site training for
your engineers , or if you prefer we
can simply supply training course
material including videos of such
things as rigging
7. Event Management
Log book survey , repair and
overhaul management , modification,
and ALL forms of technical support
The Rolls Royce Dart Engine
The Dart first flew in the early 1950’s fitted to a Douglas DC3. Its first customer was Vickers
and was installed on the Viscount with the Rda3 version. This was a 2 stage turbine engine
and was similar to the Rda 6 which replaced it in the 1960’s .
The first major redesign was the Rda7 which added another turbine stage making it a 3 stage
turbine engine. Later came the Rda10 with a bigger gearbox and then the Rda12 to
accommodate a reversing prop.
The Rda3 and 6 are virtually extinct now , but there are MANY Rda 7 and 10’s flying today
and will be for another 10 to 20 years.
The Rda 7 had a fuel efficiency modification introduced in the early 1980’s ( “Mod 1860”) It
promises to save up to 15% in fuel burn . A hush kit ( “Mod 1800”) was also introduced to
bring the engine into line with Stage 3 noise regulations.
The dart ceased production in the Mid 1980’s when the Fokker F27 and HS748-3B also
ceased production.
One of the keys to its success was the superb airframes that it powered. NOTHING can today
replace a Fokker F27 or HS748 for their versatility , performance (particularly rough and
short field) and economics on a low utilization profile.
The Dart flies today in good numbers in Gulfstream G1’s , Fokker and Fairchild F27’s ,
Hawker Siddley HS748’s , Nihon YS-11’s , Convair 600’s and a few military aircraft such as
the Andover
IAP
IAP was established in 1982 mainly supporting the Dart powered operators both in
powerplant and airframe. In the 1990’s we operated Fokker F27’s and HS748’s . We still
own a significant number of these in our lease portfolio.
During this time we have accumulated the largest inventory of Dart engines and parts in the
world . As part of this process we have also purchased the assets from a number of Dart
engine shops that have ceased supporting the Dart. Most recently H+S and prior to that
F.E.A.T , and T.A.A.
During our days as an operator we accumulated vast amounts of equipment and technical
knowledge. On staff are people with 20 or more years experience in Dart overhaul shops ,
Airlines , MRO’s and component shops and we want to make this knowledge available to you.
IAP are based in Sydney Australia . We are an Australian Civil Aviation Approved
organization. Our engineering facility Horizon Airlines , is fully approved on the Dart and
various airframes.
We also have in house capability to overhaul the TPE331 and PT6 engine types and full
refurbishment on most turboprop airframes.
KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE that IAP can supply will save you downtime , money and
peace of mind . Why struggle and hope for the best - call for a quote and let us take the stress
out of your forthcoming event.

Dart Airframes
Fokker F27
The Dart was fitted to
the Fokker and
Fairchild F27’s ,
Hawker Siddley
HS748’s , Gulfstream
G1 , Nihon YS-11 and
Convair 600/640’s
1.Fokker F27
The F27 has many versions , all
except the -100 being Rda7 Powered.
The Rda7 will be a 532-7 , 532-7R ,
536-7 or 536-7R. Depending upon
the mod state of the engine these can
be converted by IAP to whatever
mark you require or even dual ratings
2. Fairchild F27
The Fairchild was a licence built
Fokker and came in two main versions
the FH27J or the FH 227 . Mainly
powered by the 532-7 manly
3. Howker Sidley HS748
British built competitor to the F27 this
sturdy workhorse is still in service with
many militaries and some civilian
operators. Powered by the 534-2 or
536-2 engine .
4. Gulfstream G1
Built as an executive aircraft many are
still flying . Powered by the 529-8X
engine exciting performance
improvements can be made by going
to Mod 1860
5. Rda10/12
YS-11’s , Convairs and Andovers
continue to operate in small numbers
45 or more years since their birth.
YES WE CAN !!
Fokker F27 & HS748
IAP Technical Services can assist your airframe needs as
well as powerplant
We have expertise on staff who can assist you with all your technical queries in regards to the
Fokker and Hawker Siddley . The F27 was extensively used by Ansett , Air New Zealand
and Trans Australian Airlines within Australasia . The 748 by Horizon , the RAAF ,RNZAF and
Mount Cook. The expertise built up during those years is available through IAP for the
following tasks :
C and D check Supervision
IAP can provide a working party of Fokker experienced people to visit your location and
carry out a C and D check (or P) using your personnel. This will cut your costs , downtime
and impart knowledge to your engineering team.
We can establish through a log book survey the work scope , create the work-pack and carry
out the work as approved by your airworthiness Authorities.
IAP will provide all necessary tooling and spares if requested.
Airworthiness liaison provided to obtain the necessary approvals
Modification
IAP can provide STC modifications for role change (i.e. cargo) , avionics upgrades , GPS,
TCAS and EGPWS installations , Air Conditioning , Mod 1800 and 1860 on the engines and
any other customer requirements that may be required.
Full Refurbishment
We can put a working party together to recover stored aircraft , Damaged aircraft and
“distressed” aircraft .
There is no task too small or too large . CALL to discuss.
Bae HS748-2A/B
There is very little we have not done
before on the Fokker and 748
aircraft . We have all the tooling,
spares and experience to SOLVE all
your issues with the minimum of fuss
and it WILL save you money
C and P Checks , LAnding Gear , Prop and Engine changes .
UPGRADES
To stay current the
following upgrades are
commonly requested
Does your cockpit
look like this ?
1. Radar
Do you still have an RDR1E or equally
ancient un-supportable Radar . We
have STC’s to resolve this . Install a
modern two piece digital colour radar
for less than you think. Add a MFD
and you can display the EGPWS
through it
2. VHF , NAV , DME , ADF etc
Still have the stuff the aircraft was
born with ? Crazy Crazy !! Call us
for solutions. Avionic solutions are a
fraction of the cost of keeping this
steam driven equipment alive
3.GPS , TCAS , ACAS , EGPWS
GPS today is a must. It can be as little
as a stand alone or a fully integrated
WAAS compliant unit providing a
secondary VHF Nav . TCAS , ACAS
and EGPWS/ TAWS installs . Don’t
Delay - CALL NOW !
4. Cargo Conversions
This is not simply taking out the seats !
A full Class E interior improves your
payload , provides spider net restraint
of Containerization , and makes you
legal ! CALL NOW
5. Engine upgrade
Want more power ? Want to be Stage
3 compliant ? Want to save 15% fuel
burn ? CALL NOW
6. Wish list
Tell us what you want and we can do
it - radical , conservative or simply a
paint job, CALL NOW
Why Upgrade ?
These airframes are bullet proof .
There are no “new build” aircraft that
can replace the Dart powered
aircraft . The only thing that lets them
down are aging systems . Replace
them and its as good as a new
aircraft- at a fraction of the price . No
new spares , no new training of
engineers and crew , no AOC costs
but better reliability and lower cost to
operate per hour
Time to Update !
Call IAP
Upgrades
Upgrades , Roll changes , refurbishments - we have done them all !
Amazingly there are still aircraft flying with their original avionics that they were born with in
1964 ! This “steam driven” equipment cannot be supported and is unreliable.
THROW IT AWAY and let us install a modern suite of avionics . Digital two piece radars with
multi function screens are a good start. Then add something like fresh VHF’s and a new GPS.
It is VERY cost effective
Pneumatics on the Fokker - Chuck away the Dunlop’s !! Call us !
Engines
This is an interesting and controversial area. Some people swear by the Mod 1860
modification and others avoid it. In our experience there is no downside to having Mod
1860 engines in this day and age as the parts and material costs are far outweighed by the
saving in fuel .
Think about it. With fuel at all time highs (and they will only continue to go northwards) the
cost recovery is shorter and shorter .
We have a continual flow of overhauled and part life 1860 engines and it is very cost
effective to do at overhaul or shop visit. In 2008 we purchased all of Rolls Royce’s Mod 1860
Impellers - we have over 50 of them We are the people to see !
Hush Kitting is necessary in many jurisdictions. This is a simple process . We can sell you a kit
or come and do the job for you . It involves removal and replacement of the propeller .It is not
approved for the G1 or Rda10 , only the F27 and 748 applications
SB and AD compliance and mods exist to extend the TBO. Call us if you want to convert from
wet to dry burners or visa versa.
Give us your wish list .
We will give you free
advice as to what is
achievable and we will
show you why you
need to engage our
services .
