10.3.11 Maintenance Diagnostics

Textron Aviation has chosen the FAST system as standard equipment on the Grand

Caravan EX to allow operators to easily monitor and maintain the aircraft engine.

The FAST system records engine parameters, indicated airspeed, pressure altitude, outside air temperature, fl ight hour meter, battery voltage, and the positions of the particle separator, emergency power lever and bleed air cabin heat switch.

Data is uploaded to P&WC data analysis servers automatically by GSM cell phone signal upon engine shutdown if a SIM card is installed and the GSM subscription service is activated through P&WC. Otherwise data can be uploaded to P&WC data analysis servers via a supplied USB cable connected to a laptop. The P&WC

WebECT ™ website formats the data into customized reports for use as analysis tools.

Purchaser agrees that Seller has a perpetual license to use all information contained in the Aircraft recording and/or diagnostic system for any reason, including maintenance and accident investigation. Purchaser expressly provides Seller with licensed permission to download use, and/or read such information at any time.

Purchaser further agrees this perpetual license runs with and is automatically transferred with the title to the
