ROSS AVIATION & NAASCO 22+ YEAR PREFERRED DISTRIBUTION ALLIANCE – RELATIONSHIPS MATTER – GENERATIONAL FAMILY PARTNERSHIP!

Posted by Admin

Shirley, NY, Tuesday, February 4, 2025 We’ve all heard the saying, “Relationships matter,” but the Ross Aviation and NAASCO team takes that to heart. Starting in early 2000, Jim Leslie, “Uncle Jimmy,” of NAASCO, and Mark Biggs, of Ross Aviation, met at Helitech (now European Rotors). They discussed setting up a stocking distribution agreement and executed it within a few weeks. Over the years, Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Paulette developed a strong relationship with Mark and Donna Biggs. Mark and Donna visited NY with their two sons for several business family holidays, and Jimmy and Paulette visited them in the UK. These personal connections have strengthened our professional partnership. Fast forward 22+ years, this relationship is still going strong. Now, Mark and Donna’s son Tom Biggs is the Managing Director, and the partnership between Ross Aviation and NAASCO could not be stronger.

NTSB Final Report: Waycross, GA

Posted by Admin

The pilot was conducting tree trimming operations on a power line right of way that consisted of a 10-blade aerial saw that was slung below the helicopter. During the cutting, a saw blade snagged a 1/2-inch cable that wrapped itself around the lower saw blades. A section of the cable broke off and struck the tail rotor assembly, damaging the stabilizers and tail rotor drive shaft. The helicopter lost all tail rotor authority and began an uncontrolled yaw, impacting the trees as it descended to the terrain where it came to rest on its left side. The impact resulted in substantial damage to the airframe and rotor blades. The operator did not report that there were any preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions of the helicopter that would have precluded normal operation.
