My name is Jim Fackler and I balance aircraft components. Well, a little more than that since dynamics in aircraft covers helicopter track and balance, engine vibration survey, Health and Usage Monitoring, and ride quality assessment among other things.  This includes lecturing, instructing and writing on the subject. Based in Southern California, my service area covers San Diego to Sacramento, and the Coast inland to Phoenix. I travel out of state, and occasionally overseas for special projects.

 I joined the California Army Guard in 1973 and worked as a prop and rotor technician for a number of years before joining Chadwick-Helmuth, makers of the Vibrex system, a truly revolutionary instrument for helicopter track and balance. While there I authored The Smooth Propeller, considered the bible of dynamic balance for recip powered aircraft, which is also FAA approved source data. Managing the Applications Engineering department provided invaluable experience in dynamic mapping,  bracket fabrication, data acquisition and analysis, all the way through the final procedures document. After 22 years I left Chadwick-Helmuth and began a service business providing dynamic services to the aviation community (among others).

I’m a private pilot with over 2000 hrs PIC with an instrument and sailplane ratings, and an A&P with both airframe and powerplant ratings. I also carry a DOT FAA drug cert for Part 135 operators.

Most importantly, I do quality work.       Accept no substitutes.
