Great service and support. We are updated with their service bulletins and notams
Strengths: Textron Lycoming is one of two certified engine suppliers for the general aviation industry. We use Lycoming engines and replacement components, such as cylinders, valves, crank shafts etc. for aircraft repair. Aircraft engines are rated for a specific time before an overhaul is needed. When that time occurs, an aircraft owner needs to either replace the engine or have it rebuilt by either the factory or an authorized engine rebuilder. We use Lycoming OE parts for the repair of Lycoming engines. They have been reliability tested and approved for certified use. They are regarded as some of the best general aviation engines in the world and have a great dealer support network. They have options for both fixed and constant speed propellers. It's a great company to deal with.
Needs to improve: Pricey. Certified engines can run in the thousands of dollars. A mid range lycoming engine can be $20,000 for a 160 hp model. As you can imagine, there is competition in the experimental engine world because these engines are so expensive.
