Alpine Aerotech obtained EASA approvals for a range of replacement parts. A Bell Helicopter service center, Alpine noted its work on Bell medium helicopters had revealed a need for replacement parts that have improved performance, cost and availability.

As a result, the Kelowna, British Columbia-based maintenance provider has developed a number of replacement parts for Bell medium helicopters that provide tighter tolerances and improved quality at lower cost. Alpine is keeping a stock on hand for cases that need immediate delivery, as well as for scheduled maintenance.

“Our approved replacement parts is another example of our desire to provide affordable, comprehensive solutions to our customers” said Neil Baycroft, general manager at Alpine Aerotech. “We can incorporate these products in our heavy maintenance programs," saving customers "thousands of dollars.”
