Vibration Spectrum Analysis:
A general
aviation aircraft is normally flown with a propeller speed of somewhere around
2,300 rpm. This rpm is is not conducted or sensed well by the human body.
Normally, by the time a pilot can start to feel or notice the effect of an
excessive vibration at this rpm, the damage has long since started to take its
toll on the engine and airframe. The side effects of a high frequency vibration
are often a "buzz" in the pedals or yoke or other components. The
industry standard for an acceptable level of vibration is .2 IPS (point 2) (Inches Per
Second).
Digital balancers and analyzers have refined the balancing procedure to
the point that most propellers can be balanced down to levels far below .1 (point 1)
IPS. We
use the very latest computerized vibration analyzer and a factory-trained
technician to provide the very best analysis of your aircraft. The
resulting reports show you clearly how much
vibration exists during cruise flight and the likely causes of any
remaining vibration.
