Jet-Care International of Cedar Knolls, N.J., and its sister company Spectro of the UK and Switzerland, have won multi-year contracts to analyze engine oil and debris. The companies are exhibiting in Heli-Expo Booth No. 709.
The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a contract lasting up to five years to Jet-Care for analysis of more than 200 Turbomeca Arriel 2C2CG engines in its fleet of HH-65 Dolphin helicopters. Jet-Care and the USCG first made the contract in November 2005. The new award extends this agreement for one year plus four one-year options. The USCG program relies on Jet-Care software called Echo (engine condition health online). The Echo software compiles data that Jet-Care sends to the client by e-mail. Jet-Care and the client review any trends suggested by the data and note the level of alert it may require. If an analysis raises imminent concern, any time of day or year, Jet-Care telephones its customers.
