GPMS offers Foresight MX HUMS for light turbine helos

摘要

Health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS), which monitor critical aircraft parts and systems using onboard sensors, are typically found on large helicopters, such as those serving the oil-and-gas industry and military operations. Now, Cornwall, Vermont-based GPMS is offering Foresight MX, a just-STC'd, next-generation "prognostic health monitoring system" for the Bell 407GX and -GXP, the first such system designed for light turbine helicopters. Subsequent STCs are planned for the 407GXI, AStar 350 and MD500.
