Windows
High-quality acrylics and state-of-the art manufacturing make our windows something more than accessories. When it comes to windows, price matters—but it's about something more. It's quality, affordability, ease of installation, in-stock, and on time delivery with the widest selection. That's where our expertise really counts. No one puts the time and thought into windows the way we do—after all, we've been specializing in windows since we started this company. Take our high-visibility windows, for example. To make them optically correct, we have to manufacture them at different thickness points in different places—and we have to do it consistently, again and again. It's hard for customers to find optically correct windows because they're hard for companies to make. So why do we do it? Because it matters. It matters for passengers and picturetakers, and it matters for pilots who need to see objects true to their size and location. This kind of attention to detail and dedicated precision is why Bell relies on us for production windows, and why we're the largest and most trusted OEM supplier—with more window STCs than anyone else in the business.
Interiors & Trim
Designed for easy install and easy replacement, our interior fabrications promise exceptional fit and finish. For color selection, quality and fit, there's no better choice than Aeronautical Accessories. In fact, we were the very first industry supplier of aftermarket interiors and trim—and today, we're the largest. Bell, Eurocopter, and Sikorsky customers all count on our consistent manufacturing process because it promises the best possible fit. Piece after piece, we deliver the same high level of quality. Explore everything from state-of-the-art sound absorbing kits to our innovative floor protection solution, designed to protect the carpet and the controls.

And if you can't find what you need, talk to our team of experts—we're always looking for the next challenge.
Landing Gear & Steps
Why should you replace a whole set when you just want to replace one component? That's not how we do things around here. Aeronautical Accessories has been the market leader in landing gear since our company's inception in 1979. It was our core specialty then, and it still is today. That's why Bell Helicopter trusts us to manufacture its production gear, and why we're the largest OEM supplier of skid tubes and cross tubes in the industry. It has to do with our superior manufacturing process and high-quality standards. We manufacture the strongest, safest, most durable and corrosion resistant tubes on the market today. We design our gear to be fully compatible with factory-installed parts, so when you need to replace one component, you can do just that—without having to purchase and replace a whole set. It's just one of the ways we always put you first.
Composites
We have the expertise and readily available inventory to help you save on costs, upgrade your unserviceable core and much, much more. When it comes to panel repair, overhaul and manufacturing, we're second to none—so whatever your aircraft and whatever your needs. We have one of the largest in-stock, instantly available inventories for the market and access to the latest dash number. And with OEM data at our fingertips, we can ensure the right dimension and fit—no reverse engineering here. In addition to overhauling your panel with FAA approved services, we can also upgrade your unserviceable core. What if your panel doesn't need a complete overhaul replacement? We'll be the first to tell you. In many cases, we can perform sectional or isolated repairs at a fraction of the replacement cost. Our manufacturing services include build-to-print and Bell Direct Ship Authority, and we're always expanding our capabilities—including additional services such as piece parts, autoclave services, non-composite panel modifications and more. We'd like to go on about our Quality Control Program, but we'll just say this—as an FAA-approved and an Authorized Bell Repair Station, we implement some of the highest policies and standards in the aviation industry.
Doors & Seating
From improved layouts to improved visibility, our solutions enhance safety, comfort and mission versatility. Seating isn't just about comfort, it's also about safety—which is why we offer extensive solutions to meet both needs. Oregon Aero visco-elastic foam seats shift you into the proper, painfree sitting position and provide maximum comfort, no matter how long the flight. Our innovative Energy Attenuating Seat Kits can significantly reduce injury potential. Explore everything from durable replacement doors and utility seating…to our innovative High Visibility Crew Door Kits, which expand visibility by 30 percent…to our Sliding Door Seat Kits, ideal for law enforcement, electronic news gathering, EMS rescue missions and beyond.
Flight Ops
Customers come to us with a challenge, and we develop a solution. Discover comprehensive convenience in support of the noble mission. Enhancing the versatility and reliability of your helicopter isn't just about replacement parts and accessories. It's also about breakthrough solutions that we innovate with our customers. Take the Avionics Console, for example, designed to increase reliability and also made with easyto—source parts. There's also the lightweight yet durable Radome Kit. And for aircraft GPS systems, the Vertical Fin Antenna Mount gets the antenna out from underneath the main rotor blades and into "clean air." All of these products are the result of customers looking for ways to increase the ease and convenience of their mission. And that's exactly what these solutions do.
Ground Handling
We put a lot of thought into, well, everything—including the most basic equipment. Save time with our fast-install, easy-operation solutions. Whatever your ground handling needs, you'll find the full spectrum of equipment here across a wide range of models. Explore our easy-to-install, easy-to-operate towbars that won't get in the way of mounted equipment. If you've got a mixed fleet, look into our universal wheel carriers so you don't have to purchase one for every aircraft. And when it comes to ground handling wheels, you can select from the most cost-effective mechanical models…to lightweight emergency carry-alongs…all the way to the incredibly durable, fully automated, radio-controlled hydraulic models—designed with operator and aircraft protection in mind. Plus, our dualwheel design makes positioning a lot easier. At Aeronautical Accessories, it's always about how we can help you do what you need to do as efficiently as possible.
Lighting
We haven't figured out how to turn night into day yet, but we're working on it. Until then, stay safer with steerable lights and incredible candlepower. Don't settle for fixed factory lighting. See more—and stay safer—with steerable lights from Aeronautical Accessories. While in flight, you can easily rotate our scanners a full 360 degrees and stow them from any position. With lights that generate up to 800,000 candlepower illumination at 600 watts, we haven't exactly turned night into day yet, but we're working on it. Explore our full range of lighting solutions, from landing to pre-flight—and we'll get back to work on developing the next generation of lighting innovations to make your job a little easier.
Fuel & Filters
Fly higher, heavier, faster with a cleaner engine. These simple, cost-effective solutions boost performance and versatility. Our Fuel Area Protector is ideal for protecting the paint around the fuel cap. And our innovative Fuel Purge System is truly unique to the industry—and truly beneficial to you. Instead of collecting fuel that customers have to deal with later, our system holds the residual fuel and saves it for the next start cycle. Requiring minimal modification to your airframe, the Inlet Barrier Filtration Kit—a quality system proven in desert combat—removes more than 99% of airborne dust, sand and dirt. We're talking micron level, which means a cooler-running engine. And that means enhanced operation—faster, heavier, higher. Plus, the cost of replacing just one damaged engine component exceeds the cost of this easy-to-maintain, easy-to-replace filtration kit. We also offer every kind of fuel cap—caps that lock, caps with ergonomic handles, you name it. When it comes to fuel-related solutions, you can rely on the proven technology and experience of Aeronautical Accessories.
Floats & Equipment
Fully complete float systems with direct-replacement components and other innovative benefits. What better way to reduce costs and down time. The last thing you want is an incomplete Float Kit—but that's what most companies are selling. Sure, you might find a kit for less somewhere else. And then you'll find that it doesn't come with landing gear. Not at Aeronautical Accessories. Our Float Kits are 100% complete, including full electrical—cross tubes, skid tubes, flight tubes, everything. Plus, when we developed our Float Kits, we made sure each component was a direct replacement for a corresponding Bell part—and that means you can save money by replacing piece for piece instead of kit for kit. Want another benefit? All of our systems feature electrical float valves, which simply reset themselves instead of requiring a rebuild when fired. Talk about reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
