Feb 20, 2023 - Manage Helicopter Fleets More Effectively - Bell Helicopter, Airbus/Eurocopter Helicopter and Agusta Westland/Leonardo
As the operations manager or chief mechanic, managing helicopter fleets effectively can be a challenging task, especially when it comes to keeping parts and spares, performing regular inspections, and securing a reliable source of spare parts. Following some essential tips and strategies, as the helicopter fleet manager or the chief mechanic, you can maintain your fleet in top shape, operate it safely, and make sure it performs at its peak. We can keep you informed proactively when specific parts and spares are available for the helicopters you own by opening a RotorLink account with us.
Keeping track of helicopter parts and spares is one of the critical tasks that you need to perform to ensure that your fleet operates without disruptions. The first step in parts and spares management is to create an inventory of where you may source all your parts and spares for the helicopters in your fleet. This inventory should include not only the parts and spares that are currently in use but also those that are in storage or on order and establish a system for ordering and receiving parts and spares. The inventory should be updated regularly to ensure that it reflects the current state of the fleet and availability from RotorLink. Make sure your operation includes a process and system for storing parts and spares. This system should include procedures for organizing and labeling parts and spares, tracking their location, and ensuring that they are stored in a suitable environment. Parts and spares should always be stored in a clean, dry, and secure location to prevent damage or contamination. Need help?

Check the condition of your helicopter, including critical parts and safety features, during your regular daily inspections, pre-flight inspections, and periodic inspections. Daily inspections are performed before each flight and include a visual inspection of the helicopter and its components. Pre-flight inspections are more detailed and include a more thorough examination of the helicopter's systems, controls, and instruments. Periodic inspections are performed at regular intervals, such as after a specified number of flight hours, and include a comprehensive examination of the helicopter's components and systems.
Inspections should be conducted at regular intervals, depending on the type of helicopter, its usage, and the operating environment. The purpose of inspections is to identify any potential issues with the helicopter, its components, or its systems and to take corrective action before they become more significant problems.
