Real-time HUMS Goes Operational on PHI's S-92
PHI, Sikorsky and Metro Aviation have partnered to develop real-time HUMS.

A Sikorsky S-92 flying to an offshore oil platform on March 7 became the first aircraft to use a new real-time health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) on a commercial service. The aircraft, operated by PHI Inc., is fitted with new technology developed by PHI in partnership with Sikorsky and Metro Aviation that the companies say is a major safety breakthrough.
