At an event held this week in its
Dynamic Component Repair (DCR) facility, American Eurocopter
celebrated the completion of the first overhaul of a Main Gear Box
for an EC135 helicopter. Employees and executives from all over the
company joined the DCR team for this important milestone. American
Eurocopter received approval to repair and overhaul EC135 main gear
boxes at the beginning of April and now offers local repair and
overhaul services for all EC135 dynamic components. With this first
completion, these high quality services are now available to U.S.
customers with a reduced turn around time.
"This completion reflects our commitment to providing overhaul
and repair solutions for our EC135 customers," said Marc Paganini,
President and CEO of American Eurocopter. "Our company focus is to
provide services here in the United States that meets the demands
of all our customers and we will continue to enhance our services
as their needs evolve."
In the United States there are over 200 EC135 that will benefit
from the same high-quality, certified overhaul and repair services
that they received from the OEM ZF Luftfahrttechnik in Germany.
The preparation to add the EC135 repairs and overhauls to the
Dynamic Component Repair facility at American Eurocopter was quite
extensive. It included the certification of American Eurocopter
staff, and the acquisition of initial inventory and tooling. One of
the major achievements was the modification of the company's
multi-purpose test bench. In addition to the test bench's existing
capabilities for BO105, BK117, AS365, EC120 and EC145 main gear
boxes, the scope has been enlarged to include the EC135 main gear
box.
