San Diego, California, USA—Jan 6, 2012—HelicopterLinks.com is accepting and listing at no charge, all helicopter trade shows, helicopter air shows and helicopter conferences for 2012. Listed here: www.helicopterlinks.com/shows. Please send us an email to (staff@helicopterlinks.com) have your event(s) listed.

"While we normally have a 'one free listing' policy for any helicopter company, supplier, service or organization on our web site; it is our helicopter event page where our policy changes," says Michael Hampson, owner of Helicopter Links. "Every organization which plans helicopter trade shows, air shows or conferences are offered multiple free listings."

"Event organizers need advertising and we want to provide a useful web site to the helicopter industry, so our 'multiple free event listing' offer is a match made on the internet," continues Hampson. "We have 26 helicopter specific events currently on our site, so please check to see if your helicopter event is already listed."

In 2011 alone, Helicopter Links has had over 7,400 people visiting our Helicopter Trade Show and Helicopter Air Show page. See our web statistics report here.

Incoming visitors to Helicopter Links Trade Shows web page for 2011

From 23 March 2011 to 31 December 2011, Helicopter Links has sent over 2,100 referrals to helicopter trade show, helicopter air show and helicopter conferences worldwide. People find Helicopter Links as a good starting point to plan their helicopter event travel schedules.

Outbound Click-Throughs for Helicopter Links Trade Show web page 23 March 2011 to 31 Dec 2011

"We know our outbound numbers because we added the necessary technology, in late March 2011, allowing us to track click-throughs on all our outbound links," explains Hampson. "This was a significant event, as every business needs evidence to the effectiveness of their operations."

Each year since 2002, Helicopter Links always has an increase in visitors from year to year, this has been a positive trend. Even comparing 2010 to 2011 for incoming visitors on our Helicopter Trade Show / Helicopter Air Show web page, we see an increase in visitors. In the graph below, the top line (blue) is 2011 and the bottom line (green) is 2010.

In addition, all helicopter events are listed by continent on one web page. All it takes is a click and a scroll for anyone at a glance, to view worldwide, all helicopter events in the helicopter industry. The advantage of using Helicopter Links is people can visit one web site over having to visit multiple web sites to see what is taking place.

"I'd like to provide the helicopter industry with additional information about our web site. Helicopter Links sends about 2,440 referrals, per month, to all helicopter and gyrocopter manufactures (OEM and kit, turbine and piston). This extends to more than (an estimated) 29,000 referrals per year to helicopter and gyrocopter manufacturers worldwide."

"I really don't know any other web site which can boast these numbers. We are a powerhouse of helicopter information and possibly the 'Google' of the helicopter industry," Hampson says, "We hope you join our growing web site of helicopter information."

Some closing thoughts. "I plan to attend Heli-Expo 2012 and I will be walking the showroom floor. I look forward to meeting as many people as possible and I hope we can be part of your advertising program to help you achieve your strategic marketing, branding and sales goals."

  Site Map Definitions  
  For HelicopterLinks.com
A few definitions are provided for your review. This is not a complete list.
 
 

There are four parts to an aircraft per the FAA.
(Federal Aviation Administration – United States of America)
1) Airframe
2) Engine
3) Propeller
4) Accessories. (Examples: Radio, airframe fuel pump, night vision equipment, hoists, brakes and etc.)



A: Airframe

P: Powerplant

A&P Mechanic:
A mechanic who works on both the Airframe (A) and Powerplant (P).

Airframe Mechanic:
A mechanic who works on the Airframe.

Powerplant Mechanic:
A mechanic who works the Powerplant.


Airframe:

The fuselage, booms, nacelles, cowlings, fairings, airfoil surfaces (including rotors but excluding propellers and rotating airfoils of engines), and landing gear of an aircraft and their accessories and controls. (From http://www.faa-aircraft-certification.com/faa-definitions.html)

Aftermarket:
Non-brand name or non-OEM parts and accessories.


Completions:
A helicopter specialty shop. This shop specializes in refitting a helicopter for a special mission. For example, a completion might upgrade and modify a helicopter for a wealthy person.

Another example would be a completion shop might upgrade a helicopter for fire fighting service which would include special radios, water tanks, spot lights and other equipment to get the helicopter ready for a specific mission.

 

Line Maintenance:
A line mechanic would show up to help fix certain items while it is out on the line (meaning, not in the hanger).

Things that could be done on the ramp for example: Changing out a tachometer, one rotor blade or changing out some loose screws. (If all the rotor blades need to be replaced and service bulletins completed, then this would be done typically at a repair station.)

Maintenance Facility/Station:
Not all maintenance facilities are repair stations. A maintenance facility might do inspections.

Sometimes, it’s thought that repair stations are better than maintenance stations. This is not necessarily true.

A maintenance facility (or station), might have expertise that a repair station does not have. It depends upon the experience of the people who work there.

Modification Part or Modifications:
Is when a person or company invents a part for an aircraft which works just as well as the manufactures and it could work even better. (Example: The Hughes 500 pointed nose is a modified part.)

OEM:

Original Equipment Manufacturer. A brand name manufacture of products or components. Typically, a company that sells a product under their name.

Some or many components maybe produced by other manufactures but when the end product is sold, the item is known as a (an OEM) product of the manufacturer.


For example: A Camaro might have Firestone tires, windows by PPG, radios by Sony, metal by US Steel but the final product is known as a General Motors Chevrolet Camaro. General Motors is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

 

Repair Station:
An aviation repair facility that is certified by a government agency.

Rotors:
For helicopters, the helicopter rotor is not considered a propeller but part of the airframe.

The helicopter gets its lift from the rotating blades. Hence, the rotor blades are technically revolving wings.

Which is why rotor blades are considered part of the airframe. To make matters more complicated, gyrocopters have propellers as well as a rotor blade.

Service Center:
This aviation repair facility is certified by an OEM helicopter manufacturer to work on their helicopters.

A service center is typically like car dealership. They usually have a parts center, they sell OEM helicopters and are certified to work on the helicopters of the manufacturer.

Supplemental Type Certificates (STC)
A Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) is an authorization to an airframe, engine or any other component that has been granted as a Type Certificate (TC).

(A Type Certificate (TC) is a government approved certification to an aerospace manufacturer that their aircraft or aircraft part fulfills the of current condition of airworthiness requirements.)

A Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) is issued when an applicant has received FAA approval to modify an aircraft or aircraft part from its original design.

The STC also shows how that modification affects the original design.
