Sikorsky Aerospace Services, the aftermarket business of Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp., is introducing configuration-specific phase maintenance kits for Sikorsky Aircraft's legacy UH-60A and UH-60L Black Hawk helicopters, as well as the UH-60M model and newest international variant, the S-70i Black Hawk aircraft.
"We are continually looking at ways to enhance service to our operators. These kits are equipped with the latest configuration parts and accurate quantities to help streamline phase maintenance," says David Adler, president of Sikorsky Aerospace Services. "Based on feedback from our field service personnel and on-site maintainers, we have grouped required components to correspond to specific maintenance sequences. This helps technicians work more quickly and efficiently."
Custom tailored kits for 360-flight-hour preventative maintenance inspection (PMI) and 760-flight-hour PMI are available to Black Hawk operators worldwide. The kits contain all OEM-approved parts produced to the most recent specifications and backed by Sikorsky's stringent quality system and worldwide distribution network. By receiving the exact number of parts for their phase maintenance, customers can eliminate excess inventory, according to the company.
SAS provides comprehensive support to rotary and fixed wing operators throughout the world. It offers its military and commercial customers a full portfolio of support services, including material distribution, maintenance, overhaul & repair, aircraft modifications and life-cycle support.
