Our facilities in the UK, USA, France, and Germany are able to provide extensive calibration, repairs, spares, and maintenance services for our customers. Each team consists of qualified technicians who are fully experienced in the repair and calibration of Helitune products.
It is generally accepted within Industry that all high precision measuring equipment should be subject to calibration checks on an annual basis, or more frequently as the manufacturer or equipment user dictates.
Helitune equipment is utilised to provide information on the condition of the vehicle it is monitoring. To ensure the equipment is maintained to the highest possible standard Helitune recommends that it is returned to authorised facilities for functional checks and calibration annually.
Helitune are able to offer a comprehensive calibration and repair 'return to factory' service for all our customers.
As an approved AS9100 Rev D organisation, Helitune follows aviation best practice and as such recommends that all RTB equipment and its associated accelerometers are subject to an annual calibration check by Helitune, or by an approved Helitune service centre. Failure to adhere to this servicing practice may result in the equipment failing to perform correctly.
Helitune equipment is utilised to provide information on the condition of the vehicle it is monitoring. To ensure your Helitune product is maintained to the highest possible standard, it is also recommended that all items in the Rotortuner kit, including cables, junction boxes, etc, are also sent back at the same time as the main units for calibration. This promotes our closed-loop principle enabling a functional check to be carried out at a system level thereby helping to reduce the risk of peripheral items breaking down during monitoring.
For all Helitune customers who invest in an annual Support and Maintenance package the annual calibration is included within the package along with technical support and assistance via telephone or email. Packages can also include on-site support visits. For further information please contact us
