Certified Dynamic Propeller Balancing
Dynamic propeller balancing is an effective method of reducing engine and propeller-induced vibration. Even low-level vibration, while not always obvious to the pilot, can contribute to increased fatigue and accelerated wear of aircraft structures, avionics, and wiring.
In many cases, dynamic balancing is also required to maintain warranty compliance for certain aftermarket accessories, including Power Flow exhaust systems.
Maple West Aero operates a certified and calibrated dynamic propeller balancing system, allowing precise vibration measurement and correction in accordance with approved procedures.
When to Balance Your Propeller
Dynamic propeller balancing is recommended:
After propeller removal/ installation, or overhaul
Following engine installation or major engine work
If new vibration is noticed, even if subtle
After installation of accessories that affect exhaust or airflow
When required to maintain accessory or exhaust system warranty
Balancing at these points helps reduce vibration-related wear and improves overall aircraft smoothness and longevity.
