Authorized European Distributor for Viking Aircraft Barry Engine Mounts

Airpart Supply Europe is a factory-authorized distributor for Hutchinson Aerospace Barry Engine Mounts, specializing in vibration isolation solutions for Viking Air and De Havilland Canada aircraft operating throughout the European Union. Our Dublin-based warehouse stocks genuine Barry Engine Mounts for the complete range of Viking Aircraft, including the DHC-2 Turbo Beaver and the entire DHC-6 Twin Otter series (Series 100, 200, 300, and 400). These FAA/PMA approved engine mounts are engineered with over 80 years of experience in vibration control technology. As European operators face unique challenges with EASA compliance and post-Brexit logistics, our EU-based distribution provides faster delivery times, simplified VAT handling, and expert technical support for Viking Aircraft owners and regional operators across the continent. We supply both new and rebuilt exchange Barry Mounts to meet varied operational requirements. Each mount ships with an FAA 8130-3 airworthiness tag and comprehensive certification documentation. Our team provides specialized support for general aviation and commercial operators maintaining Viking Aircraft fleets throughout Europe.

Viking Aircraft DHC Series: Heritage and Modern Production

Viking Air Limited of Victoria, British Columbia acquired the type certificates for all out-of-production De Havilland Canada aircraft in 2006. This ownership grants Viking the exclusive rights to manufacture new aircraft and produce replacement parts for the iconic DHC fleet. The DHC-6 Twin Otter returned to production in 2010 as the Series 400, featuring uprated Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34 engines and modern avionics.

The DHC-2 Turbo Beaver represents the turboprop evolution of the legendary piston-powered Beaver, equipped with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A engines. Both aircraft types continue serving critical roles in European operations, from Alpine charter services to coastal patrol missions, requiring reliable engine components and support systems.

These STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) aircraft operate in demanding environments where engine vibration isolation becomes crucial for protecting sensitive avionics systems and maintaining passenger comfort during operations from unpaved surfaces, water, or challenging terrain typical of European mountain and coastal regions.

Technical Specifications & Design Features

Engine Mount Construction: Barry Mounts for Viking Aircraft feature a dual elastomer-bonded metal assembly design with integrated spacers. The elastomeric material absorbs engine vibration while metal washers provide structural integrity and fail-safe protection. The spacer component ensures proper preload during installation, optimizing vibration isolation characteristics throughout the operational envelope.

Material Engineering: Hutchinson Aerospace chemists develop proprietary elastomeric compounds specifically formulated for aviation applications. These materials maintain their vibration-damping properties across extreme temperature ranges encountered in European operations, from Alpine winter conditions to Mediterranean summer heat. The molded rubber bonding provides torsional stiffness and enables "soft snub" characteristics that protect against hard metal-to-metal contact.

Pratt & Whitney PT6A Engine Applications: The PT6A turboprop series powers Viking Aircraft across multiple variants. The PT6A-20 engine (550 shp) equips DHC-6 Series 100 and 200 aircraft, while the uprated PT6A-27 (620 shp flat rated) powers the highly successful Series 300. Modern Viking Air Series 400 Twin Otters utilize the PT6A-34 (750 shp flat rated to 620 shp), requiring engine mounts engineered for these enhanced power ratings.

Installation Requirements: Each Viking Aircraft engine installation requires three Barry Mounts per engine. Proper installation follows manufacturer torque specifications and includes verification of mount orientation and spacer positioning. Maintenance personnel should consult aircraft-specific installation hardware requirements and follow De Havilland Canada or Viking Air approved maintenance procedures.

Why Choose Airpart Supply Europe for Viking Aircraft Barry Mounts

European Union Distribution Advantages

Our Dublin warehouse location provides strategic advantages for EU operators maintaining Viking Aircraft fleets. Stock availability within the European Union eliminates customs delays, simplifies VAT processing, and reduces shipping times compared to non-EU suppliers. Post-Brexit logistics challenges that affect UK-based distributors do not impact our EU warehouse operations, ensuring consistent parts availability for continental operators.

Factory-Authorized Barry Mounts Distributor

Airpart Supply Europe maintains direct factory authorization from Hutchinson Aerospace, ensuring genuine Barry Mounts with full traceability and certification. Our inventory includes both new production mounts and Hutchinson's economical rebuilt exchange program options. Each mount ships with FAA 8130-3 airworthiness certification and complete installation documentation, meeting EASA requirements for component installation on European-registered aircraft.

Installation Guidelines and Maintenance Best Practices

Pre-Installation Inspection

Before installing Barry Mounts on Viking Aircraft, maintenance personnel should verify proper part number selection, inspect mounts for any storage or handling damage, and confirm cure date acceptability. Hutchinson Aerospace marks each mount with an embossed cure date. Under MIL-HDBK-695 and ISO-2230 standards, silicone elastomer components used in Barry Mounts can maintain properties for 20+ years when properly stored between 40°F and 80°F (4°C to 27°C), away from ozone, sunlight, and excessive humidity.

Installation Procedures

Barry Mount installation follows manufacturer-specified torque values critical for proper preload of the elastomeric elements. Over-torquing can compress the isolator beyond design limits, while under-torquing prevents optimal vibration isolation performance. Installation hardware should include appropriate AN bolts, washers, and locking hardware per aircraft-specific maintenance manuals.

Operational Inspection Requirements

Viking Aircraft maintenance programs should include regular visual inspection of engine mounts for signs of elastomer degradation, metal corrosion, or mounting hardware looseness. Barry Mounts feature fail-safe design with metal washers that prevent catastrophic failure even if elastomer elements deteriorate. However, degraded mounts lose vibration isolation effectiveness, potentially affecting avionics reliability and passenger comfort. Replacement intervals follow airframe manufacturer recommendations or Hutchinson Aerospace service bulletins.

Rebuilt Exchange Program Benefits

Hutchinson Aerospace's rebuilt exchange program provides economical alternatives for operators managing Viking Aircraft fleets. Rebuilt Barry Mounts undergo complete disassembly, inspection, cleaning, re-elastomering with new proprietary compounds, and full testing to original specifications. Each rebuilt mount carries the same warranty as new production (500 hours or 12 months), making the exchange program attractive for cost-conscious European operators while maintaining airworthiness compliance.
