Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 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, 2012. The October 31, 2012 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, statements of comprehensive income, statements of shareholders' equity and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. Stock Split All applicable fiscal 2012 share and per share information has been adjusted retrospectively to reflect a 5-for-4 stock split effected in April 2012. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and elected to make the presentation in two separate, but consecutive statements, which had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which is intended to reduce the complexity and cost of performing a quantitative test for impairment of goodwill by permitting an entity the option to perform a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment in order to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The update also improves previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, or in fiscal 2013 for HEICO’s annual impairment test. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which requires disclosure about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012, or in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 for HEICO. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |

Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Percentage-of-Completion Contracts
The percentage of the Company’s net sales recognized under the percentage-of-completion method was not material for the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. Changes in estimates pertaining to percentage-of-completion contracts did not have a material effect on net income from consolidated operations for the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. Inventories
Contracts in process represents accumulated capitalized costs associated with fixed price contracts for which revenue is recognized on the completed-contract method. Related progress billings and customer advances (“billings to date”) are classified as a reduction to contracts in process, if any, and any excess is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities. Property, Plant and Equipment
Accrued Customer Rebates and Credits The aggregate amount of accrued customer rebates and credits included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $11.6 million and $10.8 million as of January 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively. The total customer rebates and credits deducted within net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1.4 million and $.4 million, respectively. The increase in customer rebates and credits is principally due to the fact that the first quarter of fiscal 2012 reflected a reduction in the net sales volume of certain customers eligible for rebates as well as a reduction in associated rebate percentages. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | INCOME TAXES As of January 31, 2013, the Company’s liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions was $2.6 million of which $1.7 million 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 three months ended January 31, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):
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 three months ended January 31, 2013. Further, the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change in the next twelve months. The Company’s effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased to 27.8% from 34.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease is principally due to an income tax credit for qualified research and development activities for the last ten months of fiscal 2012 that was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 pursuant to the retroactive extension of Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code "Credit for Increasing Research Activities," in January 2013 to cover a two year period, from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013. As a result, the Company recognized an additional $1.6 million of research and development tax credits in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease in the effective tax rate was also attributed to an income tax deduction under Section 404(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for the special and extraordinary cash dividend paid to participants of the HEICO Savings and Investment Plan in December 2012 holding HEICO common stock. See Note 8, Shareholders' Equity, for additional information. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
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 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 Statements 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 $49.2 million as of January 31, 2013 and $41.3 million as of October 31, 2012, of which the LCP related assets were $44.7 million and $37.1 million as of January 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, 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 $48.9 million as of January 31, 2013 and $40.8 million as of October 31, 2012, of which the LCP related liability was $44.4 million and $36.5 million as of January 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively. As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2012, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $14.6 million in aggregate should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during each of the first five years following the acquisition. The $10.7 million estimated fair value of the contingent consideration as of January 31, 2013 (compared to $10.9 million as of October 31, 2012) is classified within Level 3 and was determined in a manner consistent with that disclosed in Note 7, Fair Value Measurements, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2012. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration, excluding milestone payments, are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of January 31, 2013, the estimated amount of such contingent consideration to be paid within the next twelve months of $.7 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the remaining $10.0 million is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended January 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):
The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the three months ended January 31, 2013. 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 January 31, 2013 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] | 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 through fiscal 2022. 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 January 31, 2013, management’s estimate of the aggregate Redemption Amount of all Put Rights that the Company would be required to pay is approximately $51 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 January 31, 2013 redeemable at fair value is approximately $42 million and the portion redeemable based solely on a multiple of future earnings is approximately $9 million. Adjustments to Redemption Amounts based on fair value will have no affect 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 that reflect a redemption amount in excess of fair value will affect net income per share attributable to HEICO shareholders. In December 2012, the Company, through its HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. ("HEICO Aerospace") subsidiary, acquired the remaining 13.3% interest in one of its subsidiaries. The purchase price of the redeemable noncontrolling interest acquired was paid using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility. |

Accounting 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, 2012. The October 31, 2012 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, statements of comprehensive income, statements of shareholders' equity and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. |
Stock Split [Policy Text Block] | Stock Split All applicable fiscal 2012 share and per share information has been adjusted retrospectively to reflect a 5-for-4 stock split effected in April 2012. |
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes In Accounting Principles [Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and elected to make the presentation in two separate, but consecutive statements, which had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment,” which is intended to reduce the complexity and cost of performing a quantitative test for impairment of goodwill by permitting an entity the option to perform a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment in order to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The update also improves previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, or in fiscal 2013 for HEICO’s annual impairment test. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which requires disclosure about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012, or in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 for HEICO. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |
