Engine Maintenance Program Breakdown: GE Honda EMC, Williams International TAP Blue

GE Honda Aero Engines EMC

With the introduction of the HondaJet, Honda also introduced engine programs for its HF120 engines, titled simply the GE Honda Engine Maintenance Care (EMC) program. In addition to their basic warranty, they offer EMCb and EMC2.

Honda’s basic warranty covers parts and labor for unscheduled maintenance, labor for troubleshooting, and transportation for engine and parts.

In addition to the coverage offered by the warranty, EMCb covers rental engines, parts for scheduled engine maintenance (not labor), parts and labor for required and alert service bulletins and airworthiness directives (cat 1-2), technical training, subscription to technical publications, and engine condition trend monitoring.

EMC2 takes it a bit further, also covering labor for scheduled engine maintenance, parts and labor for recommended service bulletins (cat 3-6), routine periodic inspections, labor for engine removal and replacement, the costs of a mobile repair team and life limited parts.
