Wide Range Of Products, Offerings For Many Types
BBA Aviation's Engine Repair and Overhaul (ERO) companies will
showcase their spectrum of services at this year's Heli-Expo, which
runs Sunday through Tuesday in Anaheim, CA.
Included are displays and information on the repair and overhaul
of the Rolls-Royce Model 250, Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6T and
General Electric CT7-2, CT7-8 and T700 family, Hamilton Sundstrand
T40-1 as well as field service, parts support, exchanges, and
component repair.
"We cover virtually every aspect of engine support services for
helicopter operators," commented BBA Aviation Engine Repair and
Overhaul President, Hugh McElroy. "We strive to make your
experience with us as convenient as possible by expanding our
facilities in North America and Europe with field service
technicians and assets positioned globally and ready to travel
anywhere within hours of a call for help."
"Our rotorcraft engine services support Civil, Military and
Government markets around the world," stated McElroy. "In fact, the
demand for our Rolls-Royce Model 250 services has become so
widespread that we recently named Clarke Mouncher as Global Program
Director for Rolls-Royce Model 250 to command our global network.
Clarke has years of experience on this product as a programme
director at our H+S Aviation company. He will now manage the
worldwide RR250 program from our headquarters in Dallas, TX."
BBA Aviation Engine Repair and Overhaul (ERO) provides service
on the Rolls-Royce Model 250 through OEM authorized AMC facilities
at Premier Turbines (Neosho, MO) and H+S Aviation (Portsmouth,
England). Both locations are fully equipped for complete engine
overhaul and for module overhaul, repair and exchange. These
centers also perform services for military variants of the Model
250. Operators can receive many of these same services at Regional
Turbine Centers located in Phoenix, AZ and Dayton, OH with
additional RTC locations planned to come into existence later this
year.
ERO's Dallas Airmotive company is Pratt & Whitney Canada
authorized for repair and overhaul on the PT6T TwinPac at its
Dallas, TX facility. "The PT6T market has demonstrated significant
growth for us in the past two years," said McElroy. "We see a lot
of activity on this engine from outside US markets and have added
in-country personnel in Europe, Asia and Latin America to handle
the increased activity."
ERO's H+S Aviation company is
authorized by General Electric on the CT7-2 and T700 turboshaft
engines and most recently added authorization for the CT7-8 used on
the Sikorsky S-92. "The S-92 has quickly become a mainstay for
operators in the North Sea," commented McElroy. "Our depth of
experience on both fixed and rotor wing aircraft using the CT7 has
been leveraged to make this a natural addition to our helicopter
engine support services."
The CT7-2 engine is used on the Bell 214ST and Sikorsky S-70C.
T700 engines power numerous military helicopters including the
AH-64 Apache and UH-60 Blackhawk.
BBA Aviation ERO has a dedicated staff of 20 helicopter field
service representatives, in order to keep helicopters on line. BBA
Aviation's International Turbine Service (ITS) is a member of ERO
and complements the repair and overhaul companies by supporting
helicopter operators with exchange engines, modules, and components
as well as new, exchange and serviceable parts for RR250 and PT6T
engines.
ERO has an in-house component repair group capable of repair,
overhaul and exchange of critical components used in every model
ERO supports. Compressors, gearboxes, nozzles, supports,
accessories, turbines and combustion liners are among the many
components that can be repaired, overhauled or exchanged.
"Our goal is to provide helicopter operators with everything
they need for total engine support," concluded McElroy. "Our
coverage is strong and continues to build."
