• | The majority of the Company’s performance obligations related to customer contracts are satisfied within one year. As such, the Company has elected to disclose remaining performance obligations only for contracts with an original duration of greater than one year. |
• | The Company has elected to record all shipping and handling activities as fulfillment activities. When revenue is recognized in advance of incurring shipping and handling costs, the costs related to the shipping and handling activities are accrued. |
• | For certain contracts with similar characteristics and for which revenue is recognized using an over-time model, the Company uses a portfolio approach to estimate the amount of revenue to recognize. For each portfolio of contracts, the respective work in process and/or finished goods inventory balances are identified and the portfolio-specific margin is applied to estimate the pro rata portion of the transaction price to recognize in relation to the costs incurred. This approach is utilized only when the resulting revenue recognition is not expected to be materially different than if the accounting was applied to the individual contracts. |
• | The Company does not adjust the amount of revenue to be recognized under a customer contract for the effects of the time value of money when the timing difference between receipt of payment and recognition of revenue for satisfaction of the related performance obligation is less than one year. |
• | Sales commissions and any other costs of obtaining a customer contract with a duration of one year or less are expensed as incurred. |

| Summary of 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, 2018. The October 31, 2018 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 nine months ended July 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The Company has two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. ("HEICO Aerospace") and HEICO Flight Support Corp. and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. (“HEICO Electronic”) and its subsidiaries. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation principally to reflect the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and the adoption of ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, which, as amended, was codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The Company adopted ASC 606 as of November 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method and recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 to all uncompleted contracts on the date of adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and remains as previously reported in accordance with ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition." ASC 606 impacts the timing of revenue recognition for certain contracts under which the Company produces products with no alternative use and for which it has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date. ASC 606 also impacts the timing of revenue recognition for certain other contracts under which the Company creates or enhances customer-owned assets while performing repair and overhaul services. For these two types of contracts, the Company now recognizes revenue using an over-time recognition model as opposed to generally recognizing revenue at the time of shipment under previous guidance. See Note 6, Revenue, for additional information regarding the Company's revenue recognition policies and disclosures required by ASC 606. The following table presents the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of November 1, 2018 (in thousands):
The following table presents the impact of adopting ASC 606 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2019 (in thousands):
The impact of adopting ASC 606 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was not material for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2019. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet of lessees. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, or in fiscal 2020 for HEICO. ASU 2016-02, as amended, provides certain optional transition relief and shall be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach either as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the year of adoption or by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company expects to use the cumulative-effect method. The Company expects the adoption of this guidance will result in an increase in its assets and liabilities due to the recognition of right-to-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for leases that are currently classified as operating leases. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which is intended to simplify the current test for goodwill impairment by eliminating the second step in which the implied value of a reporting unit is calculated when the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under ASU 2017-04, goodwill impairment should be recognized for the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 must be applied prospectively and is effective for any annual or interim goodwill impairment test in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, or in fiscal 2021 for HEICO. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

| Business Combinations [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Acquisitions [Text Block] | ACQUISITIONS In July 2019, the Company, jointly through HEICO Electronic and one of its subsidiaries, acquired substantially all of the assets and business of a France-based company and transferred the assets to a newly created subsidiary, Bernier Connect SAS ("Bernier"). The acquisition is inclusive of Bernier's 70% equity interest in Moulages Plastiques Industriels De L'essonne, a plastics manufacturer. Bernier is a designer and manufacturer of interconnect products used in demanding defense, aerospace and industrial applications, primarily for communications-related purposes. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash using cash provided by operating activities. In June 2019, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired 75% of the membership interests of Research Electronics International, LLC ("REI"). REI is a designer and manufacturer of Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TCSM) equipment to detect devices used for espionage and information theft. The remaining 25% interest continues to be owned by certain members of REI's management team (see Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information, for additional information). In February 2019, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Flight Support Corp., acquired 80.1% of the membership interests of Decavo, LLC ("Decavo"). Decavo designs and produces complex composite parts and assemblies incorporated into camera and related sensor assemblies and UAV airframes used in demanding defense and civilian applications. The remaining 19.9% interest continues to be owned by certain members of Decavo's management team (see Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information, for additional information). The total consideration includes an accrual as of the acquisition date representing the estimated fair value of contingent consideration the Company may be obligated to pay should Decavo meet a certain earnings objective during the second and third years following the acquisition. See Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information regarding the Company's contingent consideration obligation. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash principally using cash provided by operating activities. In February 2019, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired 85% of the stock of Solid Sealing Technology, Inc. ("SST"). SST designs and manufactures high-reliability ceramic-to-metal feedthroughs and connectors for demanding environments within the defense, industrial, life science, medical, research, semiconductor, and other markets. The remaining 15% interest continues to be owned by certain members of SST's management team (see Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information, for additional information). In November 2018, the Company, through a subsidiary of HEICO Electronic, acquired an additional equity interest in Freebird Semiconductor Corporation ("Freebird"), which increased the Company's aggregate equity interest in Freebird to greater than 50%. Accordingly, the Company began consolidating the operating results of Freebird as of the acquisition date. Prior to this transaction, the Company accounted for its investment in Freebird under the equity method. Freebird is a fabless design and manufacturing company that offers advanced high-reliability wide-band gap power switching technology. The purchase price of this acquisition was paid in cash using cash provided by operating activities. In November 2018, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired 92.7% of the stock of Apex Microtechnology, Inc. ("Apex"). Apex designs and manufactures precision power analog monolithic, hybrid and open frame components for a certain wide range of aerospace, defense, industrial, measurement, medical and test applications. The remaining 7.3% interest continues to be owned by certain members of Apex's management team (see Note 3, Selected Financial Statement Information, for additional information). In November 2018, the Company, through HEICO Electronic, acquired all of the stock of Specialty Silicone Products, Inc. ("SSP"). SSP designs and manufactures silicone material for a variety of demanding applications used in aerospace, defense, research, oil and gas, testing, pharmaceuticals and other markets. Unless otherwise noted, the purchase price of each of the fiscal 2019 acquisitions was paid in cash, principally using proceeds from the Company's revolving credit facility, and is not material or significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the aggregate total consideration for the Company's fiscal 2019 acquisitions (in thousands):
The following table summarizes the allocation of the aggregate total consideration for the Company's fiscal 2019 acquisitions to the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed (in thousands):
The following table summarizes the weighted average amortization period of the definite-lived intangible assets acquired in connection with the Company's fiscal 2019 acquisitions (in years):
The allocation of the total consideration for the Company's fiscal 2019 acquisitions to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities and noncontrolling interests assumed is preliminary until the Company obtains final information regarding their fair values. However, the Company does not expect any adjustments to such allocations to be material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. The primary items that generated the goodwill recognized were the premiums paid by the Company for the future earnings potential of the businesses acquired and the value of their assembled workforces that do not qualify for separate recognition, which, in the case of Bernier, REI, Decavo, SST, Freebird and Apex benefit both the Company and the noncontrolling interest holders. The fair value of the noncontrolling interests in Bernier, REI, Decavo, SST, Freebird and Apex was determined based on the consideration paid by the Company for its controlling ownership interest adjusted for a lack of control that a market participant would consider when estimating the fair value of the noncontrolling interest. The operating results of the fiscal 2019 acquisitions were included in the Company’s results of operations from each of the effective acquisition dates. The amount of net sales and earnings of the fiscal 2019 acquisitions included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2019 is not material. Had the fiscal 2019 acquisitions occurred as of November 1, 2017, net sales on a pro forma basis for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2019 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts and net sales for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2018 would have been $1,373.1 million and $489.5 million, respectively. 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 and three months ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 would not have been materially different than the reported amounts. The pro forma financial information is presented for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved if the acquisitions had taken place as of November 1, 2017.

| Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | REVENUE The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a promised good or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for the good or service. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied and control is transferred either at a point-in-time or over-time. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when control is transferred, which is generally evidenced by the shipment or delivery of the product to the customer, a transfer of title, a transfer of the significant risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance. For certain contracts under which the Company produces products with no alternative use and for which it has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date and for certain other contracts under which the Company creates or enhances a customer-owned asset while performing repair and overhaul services, control is transferred to the customer over-time. The Company recognizes revenue using an over-time recognition model for these types of contracts. Details of the products and services provided by the Company can be found within Disaggregation of Revenue which follows within this Note 6. Contracts with Customers and Performance Obligations The Company accounts for a contract with a customer when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled to receive. Customer payment terms related to the sale of products and the rendering of services vary by Company subsidiary and product line. The time between receipt of payment and recognition of revenue for satisfaction of the related performance obligation is not significant. A performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer in exchange for payment and is the unit of account for recognizing revenue. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer goods or services. For contracts with more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its estimated standalone selling price. When standalone selling prices are not available, the transaction price is allocated using an expected cost plus margin approach as pricing for such contracts is typically negotiated on the basis of cost. The Company accounts for contract modifications prospectively when the remaining goods or services are distinct and on a cumulative catch-up basis when the remaining goods or services are not distinct. The Company provides assurance type warranties on many of its products and services. Since customers cannot purchase such warranties independently of the products or services under contract and they are not priced separately, warranties are not separate performance obligations. Contract Estimates The Company utilizes the cost-to-cost method as a measure of progress for performance obligations that are satisfied over-time as it believes this input method best represents the transfer of control to the customer. Under this method, revenue for the current period is recorded at an amount equal to the ratio of costs incurred to date divided by total estimated contract costs multiplied by (i) the transaction price, less (ii) cumulative revenue recognized in prior periods. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation. Certain of the Company’s contracts give rise to variable consideration when they contain items such as customer rebates, credits, volume purchase discounts, penalties and other provisions that may impact the total consideration the Company will receive. The Company includes variable consideration in the transaction price generally by applying the most likely amount method of the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive based on an assessment of all available information (i.e., historical experience, current and forecasted performance) and only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. The Company estimates variable consideration by applying the most likely amount method when there are a limited number of outcomes related to the resolution of the variable consideration. Changes in estimates that result in adjustments to net sales and cost of sales are recognized as necessary in the period they become known on a cumulative catch-up basis. Changes in estimates did not have a material effect on net income from consolidated operations for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2019. Practical Expedients and Optional Exemptions The Company has elected the following practical expedients and optional exemptions allowed under ASC 606:
Contract Balances Contract assets (unbilled receivables) represent revenue recognized on contracts using an over-time recognition model in excess of amounts invoiced to the customer. Contract liabilities (deferred revenue) represent customer advances and billings in excess of revenue recognized and are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in the Company’s contract assets and liabilities for the nine months ended July 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):
The decrease in the Company's contract assets during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 mainly occurred within the ETG and principally reflects billings on certain customer contracts made during the period in excess of the amounts recorded as additional unbilled receivables for contracts using an over-time recognition model. The increase in the Company's contract liabilities during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 mainly occurred within the FSG and principally reflects the receipts of new customer deposits on certain customer contracts in excess of reductions to contract liabilities from customer deposits recognized as revenue. The amount of revenue that the Company recognized during the nine and three months ended July 31, 2019 that was included in contract liabilities as of the beginning of fiscal 2019 was $14.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Remaining Performance Obligations As of July 31, 2019, the Company had $383.3 million of remaining performance obligations associated with contracts with an original duration of greater than one year pertaining to the majority of the products offered by the ETG and the FSG's aftermarket replacement parts and specialty products product line. The Company will recognize net sales as these obligations are satisfied. The Company expects to recognize $81.3 million of this amount during the remainder of fiscal 2019 and $302.0 million thereafter, of which the majority is expected to occur in fiscal 2020.

| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | INCOME TAXES In December 2017, the United States ("U.S.") government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act contains significant changes to previous tax law, some of which became immediately effective in fiscal 2018 including, among other things, a reduction in the U.S. federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21% (effective January 1, 2018) and the implementation of a territorial tax system resulting in a one-time transition tax on the unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. Certain other provisions of the Tax Act became effective for HEICO in fiscal 2019 including a new tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”), a new deduction for Foreign-Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”), the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction and increased limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was 17.1% as compared to 17.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The Company's effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was 22.0% as compared to 23.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in the Company's effective tax rate in the first nine months and third quarter of fiscal 2019 is mainly attributable to the reduction in the federal tax rate from a blended rate of 23.3% in fiscal 2018 to 21% in fiscal 2019, partially offset by the net effect of the provisions of the Tax Act that became effective for HEICO in fiscal 2019. Income tax expense in both the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 was favorably impacted as a result of discrete tax benefits. The tax benefit from stock option exercises recognized in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 increased by $14.5 million compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2018. During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Company recognized a tax benefit from the remeasurement of its U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities that was partially offset by a tax expense related to a one-time transition tax on the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries that resulted in an $11.9 million net discrete tax benefit.

| Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company's assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis are set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy in the following tables (in thousands):
The Company maintains the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan (the "LCP"), which is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The assets of 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 valued using a market approach. Certain other assets of the LCP represent investments in money market funds that are classified within Level 1. The assets of the LCP are held within an irrevocable trust and classified within other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have a value of $148.6 million as of July 31, 2019 and $126.8 million as of October 31, 2018. The related liabilities of the LCP plan are included within other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have a value of $148.0 million as of July 31, 2019 and $125.8 million as of October 31, 2018. The Company previously maintained another non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The assets and liabilities of this plan were each $5.9 million as of October 31, 2018 and classified within other assets and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. During fiscal 2019, the plan's assets were liquidated and distribution payments were made to the remaining plan participants in accordance with their elections. As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2019, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of $6.4 million in fiscal 2022 should the acquired entity meet a certain earnings objective during the second and third years following the acquisition. As of July 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $2.2 million. As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2017, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of $20.0 million in fiscal 2023 should the acquired entity meet a certain earnings objective during the first six years following the acquisition. As of July 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $16.3 million. The increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration as of July 31, 2019 as compared to the $13.9 million accrued as of October 31, 2018 is principally attributable to a reduction in the discount rate used to present value the potential future obligation and higher than originally estimated earnings of the acquired entity during the earnout period. As part of the agreement to acquire certain assets of a company by the ETG in fiscal 2016, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $1.4 million in aggregate during the first three years following the second anniversary of the acquisition should the acquired entity meet certain earnings objectives during this same time period. During fiscal 2019, the Company paid $.3 million of contingent consideration based on the actual financial performance of the acquired entity during the third year following the acquisition. As of July 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the remaining contingent consideration was $.9 million. As part of the agreement to acquire a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2015, the Company paid contingent consideration of €6.1 million, or $6.8 million, during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 based on the actual operating results of the acquired entity during the fourth year following the acquisition. The increase in the amount paid as compared to the €5.1 million, or $5.8 million, accrued as of October 31, 2018 was principally due to the higher actual than anticipated earnings of the acquired entity. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements described above are classified within Level 3 and were 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. A probability of likelihood was assigned to each discrete potential future earnings estimate and the resultant contingent consideration was calculated. The resulting probability-weighted contingent consideration amounts were discounted using a weighted average discount rate reflecting the credit risk of HEICO. Changes in 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Level 3 inputs used to derive the estimated fair value of the Company's contingent consideration liability as of July 31, 2019 were as follows:
Changes in the Company’s contingent consideration liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended July 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):
The Company recorded the increase in accrued contingent consideration and foreign currency transaction adjustments set forth in the table above within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the nine months ended July 31, 2019. 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, 2019 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.

| SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY [Abstract] | |
| Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block] | SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY Consistent with the Company’s past practice of increasing its ownership in certain non-wholly owned subsidiaries, on June 28, 2019, HEICO Aerospace paid dividends to HEICO and Lufthansa Technik AG (“LHT”) in proportion to their ownership interest in HEICO Aerospace of 80% and 20%, respectively (the “Transaction”). LHT received a cash dividend of $91.5 million that was funded principally using proceeds from the Company’s revolving credit facility. HEICO effectively received as its dividend the 20% noncontrolling interest held by LHT in eight of the Company’s existing subsidiaries within its HEICO Aerospace subsidiary that are principally part of the FSG’s repair and overhaul parts and services product line. HEICO did not record any gain or loss in connection with the Transaction. Immediately following the Transaction, HEICO transferred the eight businesses to HEICO Flight Support Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of HEICO. LHT remains a 20% owner in HEICO Aerospace, a designer and manufacturer of jet engine and aircraft component replacement parts.

| Basis of Presentation [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, 2018. The October 31, 2018 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 nine months ended July 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The Company has two operating segments: the Flight Support Group (“FSG”), consisting of HEICO Aerospace Holdings Corp. ("HEICO Aerospace") and HEICO Flight Support Corp. and their respective subsidiaries; and the Electronic Technologies Group (“ETG”), consisting of HEICO Electronic Technologies Corp. (“HEICO Electronic”) and its subsidiaries. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation principally to reflect the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and the adoption of ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. |

| New Accounting Pronouncements [Text Block] | In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, which, as amended, was codified as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 provides a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. Under ASC 606, an entity recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. The Company adopted ASC 606 as of November 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method and recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 to all uncompleted contracts on the date of adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and remains as previously reported in accordance with ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition." ASC 606 impacts the timing of revenue recognition for certain contracts under which the Company produces products with no alternative use and for which it has an enforceable right to recover costs incurred plus a reasonable profit margin for work completed to date. ASC 606 also impacts the timing of revenue recognition for certain other contracts under which the Company creates or enhances customer-owned assets while performing repair and overhaul services. For these two types of contracts, the Company now recognizes revenue using an over-time recognition model as opposed to generally recognizing revenue at the time of shipment under previous guidance. See Note 6, Revenue, for additional information regarding the Company's revenue recognition policies and disclosures required by ASC 606. The following table presents the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 606 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of November 1, 2018 (in thousands):
The following table presents the impact of adopting ASC 606 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 31, 2019 (in thousands):
The impact of adopting ASC 606 on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was not material for the nine and three months ended July 31, 2019.

| Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block] | In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet of lessees. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, or in fiscal 2020 for HEICO. ASU 2016-02, as amended, provides certain optional transition relief and shall be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach either as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the year of adoption or by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company expects to use the cumulative-effect method. The Company expects the adoption of this guidance will result in an increase in its assets and liabilities due to the recognition of right-to-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for leases that are currently classified as operating leases. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |

| Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block] | In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which is intended to simplify the current test for goodwill impairment by eliminating the second step in which the implied value of a reporting unit is calculated when the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Under ASU 2017-04, goodwill impairment should be recognized for the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 must be applied prospectively and is effective for any annual or interim goodwill impairment test in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, or in fiscal 2021 for HEICO. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
