If you’re considering implementing it in your operation — happy to help with setup or configuration.

🚁 If you run power checks regularly, this might simplify your workflow.

Power checks take time, require charts, and the results often end up scattered across notebooks, photos, and Excel sheets. Engineers then have to interpret inconsistent or incomplete data.

Helitrends automates the entire process. Every power check is calculated instantly, with clear trend lines, deviation alerts, and engine condition indicators — using the data you already collect. No extra work for pilots or maintenance teams.

🎉 Black Friday Offer — available for Helitrends Teams only until December 31:
✔ 30-day free trial
✔ 50% OFF your first year
✔ No charges until the trial ends

Why operators choose Helitrends:
✅ Early detection of performance issues
✅ Fewer unplanned AOG events during the season
✅ Better planning for inspections and removals
✅ Real-time trends shared with your entire team

Helitrends is used daily by 2500+ users and 50+ helicopter operators worldwide.

If your workflow still depends on manual calculations and scattered records — this might be the perfect time to change it. Click the link in the first comment bellow to see more details 👇
