Rotor Daily — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 09:44:47 +0000

USA Borescopes has announced the launch of the new USAVSJ-4-1500 Economy Series 3.9mm portable videoscope with features and functions to meet the most challenging inspections. The responsive joystick articulation with a slim 3.9mm diameter enables users to perform complete visual inspections. The surprisingly clear image on the LCD screen provides the details and fine points required to make good quality decisions. A 1.5-meter-long steel reinforced probe provides more than adequate length to complete many types of industrial and aerospace borescope inspections. Images and videos of the inspection area can be captured on the convenient removable SD card with the push of a button. This system is ideal for turbine or piston borescope inspections.

HAI@Work webinar, Jul. 8: Fatigue and Maintenance Duty Cycle Management

Panelists to share best practices for prevention, ramifications of poor management. Fatigue is a significant issue in the rotorcraft industry, and maintenance personnel face a particular risk for the problem due to nighttime and rotating shift work, long and unregulated duty times, sleep disruption, and cumulative sleep deficits. Fatigued technicians can experience impaired judgment, difficulty focusing, memory lapses, lowered moods and motivation, and other performance limitations. The result can be mistakes and oversights that contribute to devastating accidents. Fortunately, a strong maintenance management mindset paired with good awareness and team communications can combat fatigue and vastly increase overall maintenance safety. Join us for the Jul. 8 HAI@Work webinar as members of the HAI Safety Working Group share their firsthand insight into how maintenance management can take a proactive approach to avoid fatigue within their operations. They’ll discuss the issue from three vantage points: management’s perspective, the technician’s point of view, and the legal consequences of failing to take steps to prevent fatigue. Our panelists for the webinar will be: Tarek Loutfy, Senior Operations and Flight Safety Manager, Flight Test Operation, GE Aviation Duke Puharich, Safety Director, Siller Helicopters Robert Lakind, Aviation Attorney, Szaferman, Lakind, Blumstein & Blader In this webinar (more…)
