2007 Powerplant Product Support Survey

For 10 years in a row Williams has won 1st place as the turbine engine company with the best product support as determined by operators voting in Pro Pilot’s annual survey.


Fly it and forget it has been our experience with the FJ44-2. The engines on our aircraft have been trouble-free from day 1.

We have flown our jets (3 new ones, to be exact) with Williams power-plants and find them to be impeccable in several areas — dispatch reliability, quality, safety, quietness, smoothness, product design, oil consumption, bypass ratio, and overall operation.

We are now jet operators with a Citation CJ1 and we signed up for the TAP Elite program with Williams. It’s simple and fantastic. Response from Williams so far has been quick on any of our concerns and they have some of the best customer service reps I’ve ever worked with.

I attended the Williams training course for FJ44 engines. It was held at the company’s maintenance training facility at Walled Lake, MI and was well worth the time!

2002 Powerplant Product Support Survey

Williams was 1 day late finishing our HSI last year. We had an important flight scheduled. Williams sent 2 pilots and a Citation VII. They flew our passenger all day at no charge. Beat that for customer service!

No service has been required in our 21/2 years and 1100 hrs of operation. The engines have not given us any trouble. I have been very happy with the consistency and operations of the engine.

We have had little need of Williams support. The simplified FJ44 seems to pay for itself with efficient and maintenance free performance in 500 hours of ops.

1999 Powerplant Product Support Survey

Williams' 1-800 hotline is always well staffed. Mike Stovall and Ron Coon are exceptionally responsive to both general inquiries and service requests. Williams sent Ron to SAT (San Antonio TX) with little notice to personally oversee a repair on my aircraft.
