Piedmont Propulsion Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of First Aviation Services, has received an amendment to its Limited Airframe Rating with S-70 capabilities from the FAA, enabling the company to perform all maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for S-70 / UH-60 Blackhawk main rotor blades.
This capability adds to Piedmont Propulsion’s existing approvals to perform MRO services for the Blackhawk main rotor hub and bifilar, and Van Horn Aviation 206/OH-58 Tail Rotor Blades and adds to the company’s many decades of experience in propeller blades and hub assemblies for all leading propeller product lines. Piedmont Propulsion’s sister company Aviation Blade Services is a leading independent MRO facility supporting Blackhawk and other legacy Sikorsky rotor blades.
