I know enough about aviation to know how important regular scheduled aircraft maintenance is. Airtankers and Helicopters are no exception. Wether it be scheduled maintenance that pulls the aircraft out of service for a day or two or longer maintenance that is done during the off season these maintenance procedures and the timing there of are usually mandated by the governing aviation association. If something goes wrong during the season, this is noted and the aircraft is taken out of service until it is fixed. I am not intending, nor am I qualified to write in any detail about aircraft maintenance.
It is winter in the southern hemisphere and time for winter aircraft maintenance. I did enjoy this video from the NSW Rural Fire Service in Australia about the winter maintenance that Coulson is performing on their aircraft. While this video is about airtankers flying in Australia, I believe that the basic principals are the same as those done in the United States.
The video is a couple of minutes long with captions. Enjoy.
