Rotor Torque

We've gone all self-indulgent on this one to look back at 30 years of Alpine Air Support.
Three decades in the helicopter aftermarket has taught us a lot.
We've seen so many changes, worked through them all & learnt a ton in doing so... And you can hear all the best bits by just pushing play on Episode 44!
And to think podcasts - let alone the internet - were not even a thing when we started...

What makes the world go round?
Not your rotorheads, not your MGBs, nope - not even your blades... It could be the best podcast in the aftermarket business... But you KNOW the real answer is Money.
We've looked at this subject before, but it's so important that we've dedicated an entire episode to how it works in the helicopter parts industry. No short change here...

Ever wanted to know what drives the decision behind pricing parts?
We're here to explain all and talk about what we observe within the industry,
This is a must listen for any existing or potential helicopter operator, as we hit the record button for another great episode behind the curtain of the aftermarket.

When is new, not new?
In Episode 41 we're talking about part "conditions". This is a really important subject, which can cause confusion and sometimes even arguments!
It's all about the state of a part, and how it's used on the airworthiness release form. Think about this for example... When a part is "new" - say a Bell 206 rotor blade from 1972 - how long does it stay "new" for?
We dive into this delicate subject so that you can navigate the terms with clarity.

We're back with a special guest episode!
Yes, it's the 40th episode of Rotor Torque (errr... wow!) and we are delighted to have our very our Lilli Seider in the hot seat!
Lilli is one of the founding pillars of Alpine. In this episode, she not only brings insight into her journey into aviation & the emergence of Alpine, but also her role in this special team and her multi-skilled, day-to-day operations.
