GPMS International has released a health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) program manual and is making it openly available to the rotorcraft industry to help operators convert HUMS data into repeatable, real-world decisions, regardless of the system in use. It is designed as a flexible template that operators can adapt to their aircraft, missions, and risk tolerance.

The guide is intended to provide a structured starting point for operators that have not previously established a formal HUMS framework, while supporting safer and more effective use of health monitoring across mixed fleets. GPMS noted that while HUMS adoption continues to expand across air medical, utility, and government operations, many organizations struggle to move beyond data collection.
