3244871-9 - Pratt & Whitney Canada Fuel Control- Mechanical for Pratt & Whitney Canada
3244871-9 is a hydromechanical Fuel Control Unit (FCU) manufactured by Honeywell for Pratt & Whitney Canada turbine engines. The FCU is the engine's primary fuel-metering device: it schedules the precise fuel flow delivered to the combustion section as a function of power-lever angle, engine speed, compressor discharge pressure, and ambient conditions, governing starting, acceleration, deceleration, and steady-state running without electronic (FADEC) control.
Honeywell (legacy Bendix) supplies hydromechanical fuel controls for Pratt & Whitney Canada engines such as the widely-fielded PT6A turboprop family. The unit mounts on the engine accessory gearbox and contains precision valves, servos, and a flyweight governor; its calibration and rigging directly affect start behaviour, acceleration schedules, and fuel scheduling across the operating envelope (ATA 73 — Engine Fuel and Control). Note that 3244871-9 has been quoted alongside 3117178-10 as an alternate, which suggests a supersession or alternate-dash relationship — confirm any such relationship against the engine IPC/CMM before relying on it.
As a high-value engine rotable, 3244871-9 is typically sourced overhauled (OH) or serviceable (SV) with FAA 8130-3 / EASA Form 1 and, ideally, a bench-test/calibration record. Because the FCU governs fuel scheduling, calibrated test data and rigging information matter, and installation should follow the applicable engine CMM. New units are available through Honeywell / P&WC distribution on long lead.

Procurement Notes for 3244871-9
Source OH/SV with 8130-3 / EASA Form 1 and a bench-test/calibration record; confirm the exact engine model and dash effectivity against the IPC/CMM. 3117178-10 has been quoted as an alternate — verify the supersession/interchangeability relationship before accepting a substitute. DER-repair and PMA acceptance for engine fuel controls varies by operator and authority — confirm acceptability. Lead-time data not verified — confirm at time of quote.
