SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| 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 six months ended April 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. 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 changes in and 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 effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, or in fiscal 2014 for HEICO. 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 March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,” which clarifies the applicable guidance for the release of any cumulative translation adjustments into net earnings. ASU 2013-05 specifies that the entire amount of cumulative translation adjustments should be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013, or in fiscal 2015 for HEICO. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on its 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 six and three months ended April 30, 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 six and three months ended April 30, 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 $12.7 million and $10.8 million as of April 30, 2013 and October 31, 2012, respectively. The total customer rebates and credits deducted within net sales for the six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was $3.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The total customer rebates and credits deducted within net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was $2.1 million and $.7 million, respectively. The increase in customer rebates and credits is principally due to the fact that the first six months and second 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 [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | INCOME TAXES As of April 30, 2013, the Company’s liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions was $2.0 million of which $1.3 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 six months ended April 30, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):
The settlements and decreases related to prior year tax positions pertain to a state income tax position regarding nexus that was originally recognized in fiscal 2012 and resolved through the filing of state income tax returns in fiscal 2013. The accrual of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits was not material for the six months ended April 30, 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 for the first six months of fiscal 2013 decreased to 31.3% from 34.5% for the first six months 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 one-time special and extraordinary cash dividend paid in December 2012 to participants of the HEICO Savings and Investment Plan holding HEICO common stock. See Note 8, Shareholders' Equity, for additional information. The Company's effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased to 34.1% from 34.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The decrease is principally due to the aforementioned income tax deduction under Section 404(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for the one-time special and extraordinary cash dividend paid in December 2012 to participants of the HEICO Savings and Investment Plan holding HEICO common stock. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 reflects a benefit resulting from the retroactive extension of the research and development tax credit. |

| 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”) 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 valued using a market approach. The assets of the Company’s other deferred compensation plan are invested in equity securities, mutual funds and money market funds that are classified within Level 1. 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 $51.7 million as of April 30, 2013 and $41.3 million as of October 31, 2012, of which the LCP related assets were $47.1 million and $37.1 million as of April 30, 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 $51.0 million as of April 30, 2013 and $40.8 million as of October 31, 2012, of which the LCP related liability was $46.4 million and $36.5 million as of April 30, 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 the acquisition. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration as of April 30, 2013 is $9.7 million and classified within Level 3, of which $.6 million is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the remaining $9.1 million is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The $.6 million included in current liabilities represents the amount of contingent consideration payable based on the actual earnings of the acquired entity during the first year following the acquisition and is expected to be paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The $9.1 million estimated fair value of the contingent consideration included in long-term liabilities was determined using a probability-based scenario analysis approach. Under this method, a set of discrete potential future subsidiary earnings was determined using internal estimates based on various revenue growth rate assumptions for each scenario that ranged from a compound annual growth rate of negative 4% to positive 20%. A probability of likelihood was assigned to each discrete potential future earnings estimate and a corresponding contingent consideration was calculated. The resulting probability-weighted contingent consideration amounts were discounted using a weighted average discount rate of 2.75% reflecting the credit risk of a market participant. Significant changes to either the revenue growth rates, related earnings or the discount rate could result in a material change to the amount of contingent consideration accrued and such changes will be recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The $1.2 million decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration since October 31, 2012 is principally attributed to lower year one actual earnings and year two forecasted earnings of the subsidiary due to reductions in United States defense spending and was recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Changes in the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six months ended April 30, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):
The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the six months ended April 30, 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 April 30, 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 Disclosure [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 April 30, 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 April 30, 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. |

| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Guarantees The Company has arranged for a standby letter of credit in the amount of $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 six months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):
The decrease in the Company's warranty accrual for the six months ended April 30, 2013 is principally attributed to the partial reversal of a previous accrual for which potential warranty claims did not materialize. 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. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

|
| 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 six months ended April 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. |
| 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 changes in and 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 effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, or in fiscal 2014 for HEICO. 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 March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,” which clarifies the applicable guidance for the release of any cumulative translation adjustments into net earnings. ASU 2013-05 specifies that the entire amount of cumulative translation adjustments should be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity. ASU 2013-05 is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013, or in fiscal 2015 for HEICO. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated 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
