Helicopter GSE Tooling

Helicopter ground service equipment (GSE) tooling defines small equipment and tools required on ground to service a helicopter; this term also applies to equipment that is used in retrofitting and upgrades. Servicing predominantly encompasses inspection, overhaul, repair, replacement, and modification of an aircraft and its components in order to ensure compliance with type certificates and to ensure airworthiness. Common helicopter servicing includes repair and rebuild, major airframe component replacement (tail boom, stabilizers, fuselage), airframe structure repairs (canopy and cowlings), and aircraft overhaul. Helicopter maintenance also involves routine inspections and servicing, magneto inspections, main and tail rotor balancing, among other activities.

Similar to most aircraft maintenance protocol, helicopter maintenance encompasses an array of inspections based on the aircraft model or series. Scheduled inspections, turn-around inspections, flight hours scheduled inspections, flight cycle inspections, major inspections, and maintenance scheduled are inspections that a helicopter might be required to undergo. All helicopter manufacturers provide a list of approved GSE manufacturers based on aircraft model or series. Maintenance is highly regulated by the FAA, EASA, and similar governing bodies, who provide dedicated requirements to every aircraft.

Helicopter GSE tooling includes field maintenance kits, staking tools, tail rotor adjusting tool kits, rotor blade retention bolt removal/install kits, lock washers, rotor tension rotation levers, and others.
