Sales and maintenance of SA341/SA342 Gazelle helicopters
DE TRACY BV is the one stop shop for all your Gazelle helicopter needs, spare parts supply and professional advice. Below, the stages of a complete overhaul as we do it.
Step 01
Complete overhaul
At DE TRACY BV, a complete overhaul means really a complete overhaul. Everything is dismantled up to the naked body.
After that, a chemical process paint stripping procedure is applied and all skin panel seals are re-applied. From there on, re-assembly can begin.
Step 02
Finalised product
After the overhaul process is finished, a professional paint job is applied and a luxurious interior is hand-made and installed.
An avionics package is gathered and custom wiring is done. Rigging and flight tests are conducted until the helicopter is released for service.
Step 03
Paint job
One of the most difficult decisions is the aircraft colour. A perfect paint job can only be achieved in a professional paint cabin with dust particle separation.
All exterior paints are water based. Any paint scheme can be applied: this is everybody's specific choice.
Step 04
Avionics, equipment and furnishing
Old obsolete avionics are replaced with brand new, mostly Garmin, avionics. SAS or AP systems can be added and old ADF or VOR systems are mostly replaced with newer GPS receivers.
All new comms have 8.33 kHz separation and the transponders are at least mode-S.
Step 05
Interior finish
There are many leather variants to choose from; what matters is selecting one that looks really good with the outside colour. HeliFloor mats or stitched carpets are all custom made for your aircraft. A stitched Gazelle logo in the back is also one of the offerings.
All seat belts are renewed or re-webbed and FAA approved. New interiors always include a burn certificate.
