PAC International, a Metro Aviation company,\u00a0shared today how the emerging refurbishment market is growing its business. \u00a0<\/span>In 2019 alone, PAC received eight requests for full completion\/refurbishment of used helicopters.\u00a0 <\/span>Among them: EC135\u2019s and BK117\u2019s were the most common aircraft. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt PAC, we remove the old, then redesign and install the new,\u201d said Ed Wahl, director of maintenance for PAC International. \u201cIt\u2019s our expertise in innovative, customer-focused, and high-quality helicopter completions that continue to attract new and recurring customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the eight completions\/refurbishments, PAC performed 140+ avionics upgrades, Outerlink IRIS installations,<\/a> premium paint jobs, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance work \u00a0<\/span>and component repairs.<\/p>\n

The refurbishment process<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 2015, PAC has made several improvements to enhance its refurbishment capabilities, including the install of a Clemco Industries Industrial Blast Facility to remove paint and corrosion. This type of paint job along with window treatments are the typical upgrades in the revamp process.\u00a0 <\/span>Windows beyond polish repair are replaced, along with any external hardware.<\/p>\n

An aircraft restoration can also include interior work such as repairs and paint to interior panels; improvements to seats and pouches; and updates to aging EMS systems, O2 systems, and exterior and interior lighting.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of an aircraft\u2019s initial condition, PAC\u2019s end result always produces a superior finish with strong staying power.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/pac.rubyshore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Med-Trans-SN-54540-Incoming.png” _builder_version=”4.1″ hover_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″]
