TH-1H Support Team Completes Weight & Balance Certification

October 28, 2022

We would like to congratulate this TH-1H support team of Certified A&P mechanics from Arista Aviation Services who recently completed Certified Weight & Balance Training with Intercomp’s Director of Weight & Balance Training, Pat McIntyre.

Arista Aviation Services is a provider of full spectrum MRO services for rotary wing aircraft located in Enterprise, Alabama. After securing a contract with United States Air Force to provide inspection, modification, repair capabilities for the TH-1H aircraft, Arista decided the TH-1H support team should participate in a Weight & Balance Certification Course. 

During the two-part training program, student’s received classroom and practical instruction using the seamless wireless interface of Intercomp’s Jack Weigh Kit and the AWBS software application. Topics covered included weighing requirements, weighing preparation, procedures, documentation, and troubleshooting. During instruction on Lockheed Martin’s AWBS software, students learned all aspects of the software required by their contract, including historical background. Intercomp classes were chosen due to condensed classroom time and ability to work with one instructor for all segments of training.

Although some of the mechanics in the class were already Weight & Balance Certified, they agreed that learning the principles behind the procedures increased their understanding for certain protocol.

Now this entire team, complete with their W&B Program Manager/Quality Manager, have the knowledge, skills, and certification to ensure safety and compliance in their facility.
