Helicopter components endure some of the harshest operational environments, and maintaining their reliability is important. For aircraft like the Sikorsky S-61, which has a storied history of versatility in civilian and military applications, longevity and peak performance are non-negotiable. Rotair Aerospace Corporation’s overhaul services play a pivotal role in extending the lifespan of critical parts, including the S-61 servo systems.

What Does an Overhaul Mean?

Overhauling is a meticulous process of restoring aircraft components to a near-new condition. This procedure goes beyond routine maintenance, involving disassembly, cleaning, detailed inspections, repairs, and reassembly. Components like the primary servo are evaluated for wear, repaired or replaced as needed, and tested rigorously to meet strict performance standards.
