A New Era for the Cessna Caravan: "PASS and ASIC Join Forces"
The world’s most reliable turboprop is getting a definitive upgrade. Propel Aviation Sales & Services, LLC (PASS), a cornerstone in Cessna Caravan maintenance and sales for decades, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Aircraft Structures International Corporation (ASIC) a world-renowned Cessna Caravan restoration facility for decades. ASIC has been restoring mechanically and cosmetically the Cessna Caravan for Decades as well as developing and implementing STCs of the Cessna Caravan. Together we are bringing the ASIC Next Generation Caravan to the global market..
This collaboration bridges the gap between legendary airframe longevity and modern technological performance. By combining PASS’s extensive sales network and maintenance expertise with ASIC’s world-renowned restoration capabilities, we are bringing the Next Generation Caravan to the global market together.
The Phoenix Rising: Redefining the Utility Turboprop
At the heart of this partnership is ASIC’s meticulously engineered Phoenix I and Phoenix II STCs. These aren't just refurbished aircraft; they are reimagined platforms that offer:
Total Structural Revitalization: ASIC’s industry-leading mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment process returns airframes to a "better-than-new" standard.
Modernized Flight Decks: Each aircraft is equipped with a full Garmin Glass Cockpit suite, providing pilots with the situational awareness and safety features required in modern airspace.
Factory New PT6A-114A: Each aircraft will be equipped with a factory new PT6A-114A engine with full warranty. The PT6A-114A is widely considered a masterpiece of engineering.
Sales and Leasing Solutions
As a long-standing authority in Cessna Caravan, PASS will serve as the gateway for operators to access these elite aircraft from ASIC. We are offering flexible sales and leasing programs tailored to meet the specific mission profiles of passenger operators, cargo carriers, regional airlines and private operators worldwide.
"This partnership represents a 'best of both worlds' scenario for the Caravan community. You get the structural mastery of ASIC paired with the operational support and sales expertise of PASS."

FAA STC SA01850WI and SA01919WI
ASIC is unique in its ability to develop a procedure that drives out the cost of ownership caused by inspections that the manufacturer has dictated to maintain structural integrity of the aircraft through a Non-Destructive testing procedure known as Eddy Current. This is a process that in critical areas of the aircraft the attaching hardware is removed and sensors are placed in the structural fittings looking for fatigue cracks. This is a repetitive inspection and causes long periods of down time causing operators to look for alternate lift sources impacting profitability. For most of the inspections the first interval is at 12,500 operating hours followed by the same inspection only 2,500 hours later and then repeating every 2,500 hours. The cost of the inspection and the down time interval is increased on an hourly rate by five times. This makes a cost effective aircraft into something that no one wants to operate.
The ASIC FAA STC replaces the fittings originally installed by the manufacturer, starts the calculation for the next inspection at “zero” and not a short 2500 hours later. Dividing the cost of the inspection by 20% along with the down time disappearing for 12,500 hours bringing the operating cost back in line with a younger aircraft. The marketing name for the procedure is “Phoenix Caravan”.
The aft fuselage inspections start at 16,500 hours and repeats every 1,000 hours. All tail fittings as well as some structure and both spars in the horizontal stabilizer and both spars in the vertical fin are replaced with new. The cost of the inspection and the down time interval is increased on an hourly rate by sixteen times.
The Phoenix Caravan procedure to replace the fittings that eliminates the inspection requires special tooling along with training that is not available in any place other than ASIC, the FAA STC procedure is not available to any other facility nor can it be performed in any other location than ASIC.
