HELICOPTER RETENTION PLATE HARDWARE STAND

摘要

A standardized hardware stand for organizing the components and subcomponents of helicopter retention plates is provided. The hardware stand could be adapted to be distributed to all air stations so that a repeatable, teachable skill set can be developed, minimizing costly vibratory analysis, problematic clamp-up procedures, and other unnecessary additional maintenance during re-installation of the helicopter retention plates. The hardware stand includes a mock plate forming a plurality of mimicking holes and identifying marks, each dimensioned and adapted to match that of each retention plate maintained, and wherein the mock plate is perpendicularly and rotatably joined to an attachments stem.
