My post to you was in reference to the "Curtiss-Wright Turboprop", not to the known problems with the P&W PT-6 series.

208's have carried several variants of PT-6, and some have been modified by Aero-Twin with TRE-331's.

But Curtiss-Wright has not been an engine source, they no longer build engines, and never built a turboprop.

Yes, I know. One of the Web pages I found was discussing an engine manufactured in India. Touting the product, they also noted the incompatibilities and/or differences. Counterclockwise props, different control group location/s, and other.

I don’t know which engine was used in this crashed Cessna. The intent of mentioning the PT-6 in the first place was just to refute some comments claiming these Cessna Caravan/Grand Caravan engines “never” fail.
