Description
8A-9917-00 Universal helicopter maintenance ladder
8A-9917-00 is a universal helicopter maintenance ladder identified through the exact designation and specialist listings. General Mi-8/Mi-8MT helicopter servicing while the aircraft is parked on the ground. This page describes the specific item and does not copy specifications from equipment that merely looks similar.
A specialist overhaul-tool catalog describes the ladder as three linked sections with handrails and three working configurations. The same catalog gives a mass of 16 kg and identifies Mi-8 and Mi-8MT application. This distinction matters in search and procurement: the base number, letter index, suffix and model reference should agree with the applicable documentation or the marking on the available item.

Maintenance role of 8A-9917-00
The product is used as ground support equipment. It is not a universal tool simply because another fixture performs a comparable task. Before use, maintenance personnel should confirm the approved task card, serviceability, attachment or connection points, and the permitted aircraft or component configuration.
Maintenance documentation also calls for 8A-9917-00 when working around external auxiliary fuel tanks; the ladder condition and stable setup must be checked before access. When a value is absent from the located documentation, it is not replaced with a calculation or a specification from a neighbouring model. This keeps the page technically accurate and allows the customer to request a passport, drawing or test record separately.
Designation and compatibility checks
Before ordering, compare 8A-9917-00 with the maintenance manual, ground-equipment catalog or delivery-set list. Also verify interfaces, working medium, load or pressure range, included accessories and periodic inspection requirements whenever those characteristics apply to this type of equipment.
Products linked within the same category may support the same aircraft family, but they are not substitutes. A jack, crane, trolley, valve or servicing control unit performs its own operation and must be used only in the documented configuration.
Confirmed and unconfirmed technical data
Design, 16 kg mass and Mi-8/Mi-8MT application are published by a specialist overhaul-tool catalog and supported by maintenance references. Unverified dimensions, mass, pressure, rated capacity or applicability are intentionally omitted. Where a reference value is shown, the text identifies its status and requires confirmation against the passport for the supplied unit.
Incoming inspection should check the identification marking, body and joint condition, completeness, fasteners, hoses, cables, locks and working elements as applicable. Operational readiness is established through records and the approved inspection procedure, not appearance alone.
A technical inquiry is more useful when it includes the manual or equipment-list page that names 8A-9917-00, together with photographs of the marking and interfaces on the existing sample. This helps separate the base model from a suffix-specific execution and allows the delivery set to be agreed in advance. For lifting, pumping or pressure-control equipment, the request should also state the required current inspection or test documentation.
Before release to service, a new or stored item should pass the recipient’s approved incoming inspection. Mechanical fixtures require checks for deformation, corrosion, thread damage and locking parts. Hydraulic equipment requires confirmation of fluid compatibility, seal condition and leakage control. Valves and servicing panels require clean passages, correct connections and functional control checks. The operator’s documentation determines subsequent inspection intervals.
Ordering and supply of 8A-9917-00
