Vertical MRO Tech Talk by Bell – Ep 6 – The Science of Track and Balance: Vibrations Make a Difference Part II

Welcome to another episode of Vertical MRO Tech Talk presented by Bell.

In this episode, Greg Judd and Greg Arnold take a deep dive into the critical and often complex world of track and balance in helicopter maintenance. With decades of hands-on experience between them, the duo unpacks the finer details of rotorcraft dynamics—from product balance techniques to hub weight adjustments, and the impact of center of gravity (CG) on performance.

Listeners will gain insights on how preparation, consistent fuel loads, and pilot feedback all contribute to effective troubleshooting. The conversation also demystifies common pitfalls, explores the role of modern technology, and highlights the importance of community knowledge sharing among maintainers and aircrew alike.

Whether you're on the hangar floor or out on the line, this episode offers valuable strategies to enhance rotor performance, build maintenance confidence, and support safer, smoother operations.
