CONTINENTAL AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGIES™ (formerly Teledyne Continental Motors Inc. (TCM) designs and manufactures gasoline and Jet-A engines and related parts.

CONTINENTAL® produces four series (200, 360, 470 & 500) of certified factory new and rebuilt AvGas engines, designed to meet the power and performance requirements of every GA pilot. Ranging from 100 HP to 375 HP, the gasoline engines are built in-house from parts manufactured on site. The Jet-A engines are world-class benchmarks in General Aviation favored by flight schools and specified by major OEMs including Tecnam®, Cessna®, Diamond® , Mooney® , Glasair® , Piper® , and Robin® . These Jet-A fueled engines operate on universally-available aviation fuel kerosene (Jet Fuel, Jet-A and other certified aviation Jet fuels). Each is certified to the requirements of FAA, EASA and a further 78 countries. Continental continues to develop the technologically advanced engine series which now includes engines ranging from 135 HP to 300 HP. Continuous improvements have increased TBO to to 2,100 hours for the CD-135, CD-155, and 2,000 hours for the CD-300 engines. Prime™ Certified Engines are designed specifically for high utilization, ideal for flight schools or fleet operators. Competitively priced they are offered with a power output ranging from 180 to 195 HP. Titan™ Experimental Engines are individually built to customer specifications providing better control over weight, displacement and power output with a choice from 4-cylinder engines in the range of 174–195 HP.

OEM and FAA-PMA parts for CONTINENTAL® are also offered (please see separate product presentation). Please consult the supplied documentation or contact us for additional information and a quotation.

Since its introduction in 1994, the B&C SPECIALITY PRODUCTS BC320 Starter for Continental engines has established an impressive service record as the ONLY starter design on the market that has provided reliable, long-term service for these engines. 

Suitable for installation on Continental engines (C-75, C-85, C-90, C-145-2, O-200, IO-240, O-300-A, -B, and -C, and GO-300-A, -B, and -C) it solves all the problems that other starter designs have had:  worn-out clutches, broken pinions, nagging oil leaks, and catastrophic failure modes. Featuring the durability of all-steel gears and heavy-duty ball-bearings, and the efficiency of a high-torque series-wound motor, it provides greater starting torque, while saving 4.3 to 5.2 lbs. over the old key-type and pull-cable type starters (respectively).

The B&C SPECIALITY PRODUCTS BC320 Starter is STC-PMA approved for use in certificated aircraft, and is available with or without the STC (*). Two installation kits are also available:  one for replacing a key-type starter (Installation Kit 501-1), the other for replacing a pull-cable type starter (Installation Kit 501-3). For key-type starters, before installing the BC320, you will need to remove the needle bearing pressed into the engine case & install the supplied plug in its place. For pull-cable starters, before installing the BC320, you will need to cut off the 9/16 steel shaft that is installed in your engine case.

Other versions of BC320 Starter for 12v and 24v electrical systems (BC320-2, 12v Counter-Rotating or the 24v BC320-3) are also available.

(*) For the issue of the STC, the aircraft make and model, aircraft registration and serial number are required.
