Component Overhaul

At our USA and European locations, we hold comprehensive airworthiness authority approvals including FAA and JAR-145. We are also major Bell Customer Service Facilities and, in addition, our USA facility has the capability of overhauling the main, intermediate and tail rotor gearboxes for the S76.

As Bell CSF's, our capability range is considerable, covering Bell models 204, 205, 206 series, 212, 214 series, 407 and 412. In the UK, we have developed repair schemes, approved by Bell, that can recover a range of components and return them to service, assuming certain criteria are met, when otherwise they would be declared unserviceable and withdrawn from service. This can make large cost savings for our customers. Our approach to overhauls is different and exceeds the manufacturer's requirements.

We have the complete rotor and transmission repair and overhaul capability for the following models: 205, 206 Series, 212, 214 Series, 407 and 412.

Special repair recovery schemes are available for a range of dynamic components, particularly Bell 205 and 212 rotor head grips. All the repair schemes are approved by Bell. We would be pleased to supply further details on request.

In addition, we repair or overhaul many minor components including control tubes, bell cranks, transmission support links and lift links and have wide NDT capability.

Bristow Helicopters Ltd Technical Services enjoys extensive repair and overhaul capabilities for Sikorsky S61 and S76 helicopters under our FAA and JAR-145 approvals.
