Aerometals (Booth 9731) has received FAA-PMA approval for a replacement oil cooler impeller (P/N A26633-1) for installation on the MDHI 369D/E/FF/500N and all variants of the Airbus Helicopters BK117 including the H145. Replacing the legacy soldered multi-piece-fin design with the interchangeable replacement monolithic CNC-milled part addresses historical fin joint cracking.
The replacement part is also available at a lower price than the OEM legacy part according to Aerometals, a California-based company that provides a wide range of parts and assemblies to the commercial and military aerospace markets.
