Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HEICO Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “HEICO,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010. The October 31, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. StockSplit In March 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 5-for-4 stock split on both classes of the Company’s common stock. The stock split was effected as of April 26, 2011 in the form of a 25% stock dividend distributed to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2011. All applicable share and per share information has been adjusted retrospectively to give effect to the 5-for-4 stock split. New Accounting Pronouncements In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements,” which requires additional disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and more detailed information of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2010-06 as of the beginning of fiscal 2010, except the additional Level 3 disclosures, which are effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, or as of fiscal 2012 for HEICO. The Company will make the additional Level 3 disclosures, if applicable, as of the date of adoption. In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” Under ASU 2010-29, supplemental pro forma information disclosures pertaining to acquisitions should be presented as if the business combination(s) occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual period when comparative financial statements are presented. ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations consummated in fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted and the Company adopted the new guidance on a prospective basis as of December 2010. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which requires the presentation of total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders’ equity and requires reclassification adjustments for items that were reclassified from other comprehensive income and net income to be presented on the face of the financial statements. ASU 2011-05 must be applied retroactively and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011, or in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 for HEICO. The Company is currently evaluating which presentation option it will elect, but the adoption of these provisions will have no effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |

Blue Aerospace is a supplier, distributor, and integrator of military aircraft parts and support services primarily to foreign military organizations allied with the United States. The remaining 19.9% interest continues to be owned by certain members of Blue Aerospace’s management team (see Note 10, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests, for additional information). The total consideration for this acquisition and related allocation to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is not material or significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The purchase price was paid in cash principally using proceeds from the Company’s revolving credit facility. The operating results of the Company’s fiscal 2011 acquisition were included in the Company’s results of operations from the effective acquisition date. The amount of net sales and earnings of the fiscal 2011 acquisition included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations is not material. Had the fiscal 2011 acquisition been consummated as of November 1, 2009, net sales, net income from consolidated operations, net income attributable to HEICO, and basic and diluted net income per share attributable to HEICO shareholders on a pro forma basis for the nine months and three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts. As part of the purchase agreements associated with certain prior year acquisitions, the Company may be obligated to pay additional purchase consideration based on the acquired subsidiary meeting certain earnings objectives following the acquisition. For acquisitions consummated prior to fiscal 2010, the Company accrues an estimate of additional purchase consideration when the earnings objectives are met. During the second and third quarters of fiscal 2011, the Company through its HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. (“HEICO Electronic”) subsidiary, paid $4.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of such additional purchase consideration using cash provided by operating activities. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, HEICO Electronic accrued $1.2 million of additional purchase consideration related to a prior year acquisition for which the earnings objectives were met during fiscal 2011. The aforementioned amounts paid and accrued were based on a multiple of each applicable subsidiary’s earnings relative to target and were not contingent upon the former shareholders of the respective acquired entity remaining employed by the Company or providing future services to the Company. Accordingly, these amounts represent an additional cost of the respective entity recorded as additional goodwill. Information regarding additional contingent purchase consideration related to acquisitions prior to fiscal 2010 may be found in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies. |

| Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block] | 4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Company has two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”) and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”). Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by operating segment for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 are as follows:
The goodwill acquired pertains to the current year acquisition described in Note 2, Acquisitions, and represents the residual value after the allocation of the total consideration to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The adjustments to goodwill represent additional purchase consideration paid relating to prior year acquisitions for which the earnings objectives were met in fiscal 2011. The accrued additional purchase consideration is the result of a subsidiary of the ETG meeting certain earnings objectives in fiscal 2011. See Note 2 and Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information regarding additional contingent purchase consideration. Identifiable intangible assets consist of the following:
The increase in the gross carrying amount of customer relationships, licenses, non-compete agreements and non-amortizing trade names as of July 31, 2011 compared to October 31, 2010 principally relates to such intangible assets recognized in connection with an acquisition made during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (see Note 2, Acquisitions). The weighted average amortization period of the customer relationships, licenses and non-compete agreements acquired is 10 years, 10 years and 2 years, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 was $5,422,000 and $5,446,000, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1,878,000 and $1,976,000, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal 2011 is estimated to be $1,883,000. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter is estimated to be $6,820,000 in fiscal 2012, $6,248,000 in fiscal 2013, $5,898,000 in fiscal 2014, $4,710,000 in fiscal 2015, $3,689,000 in fiscal 2016 and $9,231,000 thereafter. |

| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | 6. INCOME TAXES As of July 31, 2011, the Company’s liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions was $2,261,000 of which $1,822,000 would decrease the Company’s income tax expense and effective income tax rate if the tax benefits were recognized. A reconciliation of the activity related to the liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 is as follows:
There were no material changes in the liability for unrecognized tax positions resulting from tax positions taken during the current or a prior year, settlements with other taxing authorities or a lapse of applicable statutes of limitations. The accrual of interest and penalties related to the unrecognized tax benefits was not material for the nine months ended July 31, 2011. Further, the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change in the next twelve months. In December 2010, Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code, “Credit for Increasing Research Activities,” was retroactively extended for two years to cover the period from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011. As a result, the Company recognized an income tax credit for qualified research and development activities for the last ten months of fiscal 2010 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The tax credit, net of expenses, increased net income attributable to HEICO by approximately $.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company filed its fiscal 2010 U.S. federal and state tax returns and amended certain prior year state tax returns. As a result, the Company recognized an aggregate benefit from tax related items, which increased net income attributable to HEICO by approximately $2.0 million, net of expenses, principally from state income apportionment updates ($.9 million), higher research and development tax credits ($.9 million) and other prior year tax return to accrual adjustments ($.2 million). The state income apportionment related benefit principally reflects a change to the applicable methodology for apportioning income to certain states in the fiscal 2010 and amended returns. The higher research and development tax credits reflect the finalization of a study of qualifying fiscal 2010 research and development activities and reduction in the liability for gross unrecognized research and development related tax positions due to both lapses of statutes of limitations and the conclusion of a foreign research and development tax credit audit. |

| Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The following tables sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
The Company maintains two non-qualified deferred compensation plans. The assets of the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan (the “LCP”) principally represent cash surrender values of life insurance policies, which derive their fair values from investments in mutual funds that are managed by an insurance company and are classified within Level 2 and are valued using a market approach. Certain other assets of the LCP represent investments in HEICO common stock and money market funds that are classified within Level 1. The majority of the assets of the Company’s other deferred compensation plan are principally invested in equity securities, mutual funds and money market funds that are classified within Level 1. A portion of the assets within the other deferred compensation plan is currently invested in a fund that invests in future and forward contracts; most of which are privately negotiated with counterparties without going through a public exchange, and that use trading methods that are proprietary and confidential. These assets are therefore classified within Level 3 and are valued using a market approach with corresponding gains and losses reported within other income in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The assets of both plans are held within irrevocable trusts and classified within other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of $33,548,000 as of July 31, 2011 and $26,887,000 as of October 31, 2010, of which the LCP related assets were $29,315,000 and $22,604,000 as of July 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively. The related liabilities of the two deferred compensation plans are included within
other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of $33,924,000 as of July 31, 2011 and $26,506,000 as of October 31, 2010, of which the LCP related liability was $29,691,000 and $22,223,000 as of July 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, respectively. Changes in the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 are as follows:
The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the nine months ended July 31, 2011. As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2010, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $2,000,000 in fiscal 2013 should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during the second and third years following the acquisition. The $1,150,000 fair value of the contingent consideration was determined as of the acquisition date using a discounted cash flow model and probability adjusted internal estimates of the subsidiary’s future earnings and is classified in Level 3. There have been no subsequent changes in the fair value of this contingent consideration as of July 31, 2011 and this obligation is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration will be recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying amounts of
the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value as of July 31, 2011 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value due to its variable interest rates. |

| Temporary Equity Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests [Abstract] | |
| Temporary Equity Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests [Text Block] | 10. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS The holders of equity interests in certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have rights (“Put Rights”) that may be exercised on varying dates causing the Company to purchase their equity interests beginning in fiscal 2012 through fiscal 2018. The Put Rights, all of which relate either to common shares or membership interests in limited liability companies, provide that the cash consideration to be paid for their equity interests (the “Redemption Amount”) be at fair value or at a formula that management intended to reasonably approximate fair value based solely on a multiple of future earnings over a measurement period. As of July 31, 2011, management’s estimate of the aggregate Redemption Amount of all Put Rights that the Company would be required to pay is approximately $54 million. The actual Redemption Amount will likely be different. The aggregate Redemption Amount of all Put Rights was determined using probability adjusted internal estimates of future earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries with Put Rights while considering the earliest exercise date, the measurement period and any applicable fair value adjustments. The portion of the estimated Redemption Amount as of July 31, 2011 redeemable at fair value is approximately $31 million and the portion redeemable based solely on a multiple of future earnings is approximately $23 million. The portion of periodic adjustments to the Redemption Amount based on fair value, if any, will have no effect on net income per share attributable to HEICO shareholders whereas the portion of periodic adjustments to the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests based solely on a multiple of future earnings in excess of fair value, if any, will affect net income per share attributable to HEICO shareholders. As discussed in Note 2, Acquisitions, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an 80.1% interest in a subsidiary by the FSG in December 2010. As part of the agreement, the Company has the right to purchase the noncontrolling interests over a two-year period beginning in fiscal 2015, or sooner under certain conditions, and the noncontrolling interest holders have the right to cause the Company to purchase the same equity interests over the same period. The estimated amount of Put Rights related to the acquisition is included in the aggregate Redemption Amount above. In February 2011, the Company, through HEICO Aerospace, acquired an additional 8% equity interest in one of its subsidiaries, which increased the Company’s ownership interest to 80%. In April 2011, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired an additional 2.6% equity interest in one of its subsidiaries, which increased the Company’s ownership interest to 95.9%. The purchase prices of the redeemable noncontrolling interests acquired during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 were paid using cash provided by operating activities. |

| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
The Company has arranged for a standby letter of credit for $1.5 million to meet the security requirement of its insurance company for potential workers’ compensation claims, which is supported by the Company’s revolving credit facility.
Product Warranty
Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are as follows:
Additional Contingent Purchase Consideration
As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2007, the Company may be obligated to pay additional purchase consideration of up to 73 million Canadian dollars in fiscal 2012, which translates to approximately $76 million U.S. dollars based on the July 31, 2011 exchange rate, should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives through June 2012.
As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2009, the Company may be obligated to pay additional purchase consideration of up to approximately $10.1 million in fiscal 2012 should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives during the third year following the acquisition.
As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2009, the Company may be obligated to pay additional purchase consideration of up to approximately $6.4 million in fiscal 2012 should the subsidiary meet certain earnings objectives during the second year following the acquisition.
The above referenced additional contingent purchase consideration will be accrued when the earnings objectives are met. Such additional contingent purchase consideration is based on a multiple of earnings above a threshold (subject to a cap in certain cases) and is not contingent upon the former shareholders of the acquired entities remaining employed by the Company or providing future services to the Company. Accordingly, such consideration will be recorded as an additional cost of the respective acquired entity when paid. The aggregate maximum amount of such contingent purchase consideration that the Company could be required to pay is approximately $93 million payable in fiscal 2012. Assuming the subsidiaries perform over their respective future measurement periods at the same earnings levels they have performed in the
comparable historical measurement periods, the aggregate amount of such contingent purchase consideration that the Company would be required to pay is approximately $16 million. The actual contingent purchase consideration will likely be different.
Litigation
The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Based upon the Company’s and its legal counsel’s evaluations of any claims or assessments, management is of the opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Pending Acquisition
In June 2011, the Company announced that HEICO Electronic had entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of 3D Plus, S.A. (“3D”). Closing, which is subject to governmental approvals and standard closing conditions, is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. 3D Plus is a leading designer and manufacturer of 3-dimensional microelectronic and stacked memory products used predominately in satellites and medical equipment with design and factory operations in Buc, France and sales, marketing and a technical center in the United States. The purchase price of this acquisition is not expected to be material or significant to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

| Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) [Abstract] | |
| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HEICO Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “HEICO,” or the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010. The October 31, 2010 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. The results of operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

| Stock Split (Policies) [Text Block] |
Stock
Split
In March 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 5-for-4 stock split on both classes of the Company’s common stock. The stock split was effected as of April 26, 2011 in the form of a 25% stock dividend distributed to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2011. All applicable share and per share information has been adjusted retrospectively to give effect to the 5-for-4 stock split.

| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes In Accounting Principles [Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements,” which requires additional disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and more detailed information of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU 2010-06 as of the beginning of fiscal 2010, except the additional Level 3 disclosures, which are effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, or as of fiscal 2012 for HEICO. The Company will make the additional Level 3 disclosures, if applicable, as of the date of adoption. In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations.” Under ASU 2010-29, supplemental pro forma information disclosures pertaining to acquisitions should be presented as if the business combination(s) occurred as of the beginning of the prior annual period when comparative financial statements are presented. ASU 2010-29 is effective for business combinations consummated in fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted and the Company adopted the new guidance on a prospective basis as of December 2010. In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which requires the presentation of total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of shareholders’ equity and requires reclassification adjustments for items that were reclassified from other comprehensive income and net income to be presented on the face of the financial statements. ASU 2011-05 must be applied retroactively and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011, or in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 for HEICO. The Company is currently evaluating which presentation option it will elect, but the adoption of these provisions will have no effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |

The aggregate amount to be paid by the entity upon redemption of the security that is classified as temporary equity. Temporary equity is a security with redemption features that are outside the control of the issuer, is not classified as an asset or liability in conformity with GAAP, and is not mandatorily redeemable. Includes any type of security that is redeemable at a fixed or determinable price or on a fixed or determinable date or dates, is redeemable at the option of the holder, or has conditions for redemption which are not solely within the control of the issuer. If convertible, the issuer does not control the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under the conversion option if the holder exercises the option to convert the stock to another class of equity. If the security is a warrant or a rights issue, the warrant or rights issue is considered to be temporary equity if the issuer cannot demonstrate that it would be able to deliver upon the exercise of the option by the holder in all cases. Includes stock with put option held by ESOP and stock redeemable by holder only in the event of a change in control of the issuer. Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef
