Hartzell Propeller Inc. has earned FAA approval of a new Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) which will permit its scimitar PHC-J3YF-2UF/FC7391DB three-bladed propellers to be offered for Beechcraft 58 Barons factory-equipped with fluid anti-ice systems. This complements Hartzell’s original STC for these propellers which covered only the 58 and G58 Barons equipped with electro-thermal boots or without any ice-protection equipment.

The new kit features two Hartzell factory-booted propellers, two new spinner assemblies, new slinger rings, and innovative stainless steel travel tubes. The kit is certified for use on all model 58 Barons from s/n TH-1 to TH-1498 regardless of original propeller make or model, provided the aircraft is powered by its original engine model.

The reduced diameter is said to provide the benefits of better ground clearance and reduced noise levels. The race-derived scimitar airfoils provide enhanced climb and cruise performance, not to mention that they give the Baron a distinctive new look.
