AS350 Track and Balancing Techniques

Our two-day AS350 Track and Balancing Techniques course begins with T&B theory, including why blade tracking is important, when to perform T&B, how T&B affects helicopter vibration, how various components affect T&B, and the overall T&B procedure. Then specific T&B procedures for the AS350 are discussed, including how to use polar charts, adjusting pitch links and trim tabs, and using various T&B equipment. Then students get hands on practice on a track and balance simulator.  Finally, students try out their new knowledge tracking tail rotor blades on an AS350.
