Partnerships Expand Services
Through its partnership with Natrona Avionics, an AEA
member and FAA-certified repair station in Casper, Wyo.,
Century Helicopters gives customers easy access to the latest
avionics from a manufacturer-approved distributor.
“This allows us to compete for new aircraft completions
and aircraft refurbishments,” said Philip Glasgow, Century
Helicopters’ director of maintenance, who manages day-today maintenance operations.
Century Helicopters also works closely with its sister
company, Paravion Technology. Also owned by N. Larry
Hansen and based in Fort Collins, Colo., Paravion designs
and manufactures general aviation parts and accessories for
both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, such as helicopter ground
handling units known as the Heliporter, blade folding kits,
heating and air conditioning systems, camera mounts, special
tools and more.

customers, while Century’s technicians provide installation
and integration expertise.
Throughout the years, Century Helicopters has grown, starting
with just three employees and currently expanding to 15.
“Our main focus is customer service,” Glasgow said. “We
have grown our organization on our ability to fully service our
customer base. We offer a broad range of services that have
evolved with the needs of our customers, such as installation
of avionics and EFIS systems. We provide consistent quality
and performance, maintain a minimum inventory of parts, and
keep technicians trained as new methods and aircraft come to
market, as well as being an approved FAA repair station.”
For Century Helicopters, finding trained personnel
continues to be a challenge.
“The current training available is inadequate for today’s
advanced systems,” Glasgow said. “Additionally, the
regulatory environment continues to be a challenge due to
inconsistent funding of the FAA, which results in oversight
that negatively affects our customers. Despite the challenges,
Century’s personnel go above and beyond the call each and
every day.” q

The company’s specially designed truck with a crane and trailer hauls
a Eurocopter BK-117 to the hangar for new paint.
