Maintenance services

Experienced support when your operation needs more capacity, specialized capability, or deeper AS350 experience.

Operators do not always need another permanent employee. Sometimes they need the right mechanic for a demanding inspection, a temporary staffing shortage, or work that falls outside the everyday experience of their existing team.

Surly Skies provides flexible, hands-on maintenance support for Part 91, Part 135, and Part 145 operators. With more than 15 years of AS350 experience, Surly Skies can integrate with your maintenance organization, support a defined work package, and help your team complete the job correctly and efficiently.

SUPPLEMENTAL MANNING

Add experienced maintenance capacity without making a permanent hire.

Surly Skies can help cover seasonal demand, overlapping inspections, employee absences, increased flight activity, and other temporary staffing gaps. Support can be structured around a specific project, maintenance event, or defined period of coverage.

AS350 HEAVY MAINTENANCE

Specialized support for work that exceeds normal line-maintenance capability.

Surly Skies brings extensive AS350 experience to complex and labor-intensive maintenance events. This includes supporting major inspections, component work, module splitting, aircraft disassembly and reassembly, and other maintenance that requires deeper aircraft-specific knowledge.

DYNAMIC TRACK AND BALANCE

Methodical troubleshooting backed by years of AS350 experience.

Dynamic track and balance requires more than access to the equipment. It requires a clear understanding of the aircraft, its vibration signatures, and how individual adjustments affect the complete rotor system.

Surly Skies provides experienced dynamic track-and-balance support to help operators identify problems, make informed adjustments, and reduce unnecessary trial and error.

SPECIALTY TOOLING

The right tooling without the expense of building a rarely used capability.

Some AS350 maintenance tasks require specialized tooling that an operator may only need occasionally. Surly Skies can provide specialty tooling alongside the experience required to use it properly, allowing operators to complete specialized work without purchasing and maintaining equipment that may spend most of its life on a shelf.

PROJECT-BASED MAINTENANCE SUPPORT

Bring in additional capability for a defined aircraft, inspection, or maintenance event.

Surly Skies can work alongside your existing mechanics, provide additional technical depth, or take responsibility for an agreed portion of the work package. The objective is not to displace your team—it is to give them the support needed to complete the work safely and keep the maintenance schedule moving.

WORKING WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION

Surly Skies operates within the customer’s established maintenance program, technical data, procedures, quality-control requirements, and return-to-service structure. Scope, location, schedule, tooling, and responsibilities are confirmed before work begins so everyone understands how the support will integrate with the existing team.
