battlefield role. The helicopter would be called upon to undertake various missions including that of SAR, MEDEVAC, observation, transport, reconnaissance, escort, Close Air Support (CAS) and direct attack.

Helicopters have the unique ability to take off, hover, and land anywhere, unlike traditional planes. Along with providing lift, helicopter main rotors are the source of destructive vibrations that can severely damage the aircraft, if not dealt with properly. Helicopter track and balance, or rotor smoothing is a maintenance procedure done to minimize airframe vibrations that consequently cause cracks, crew fatigue, and premature component failure. Track and balance is both time consuming and expensive
