UK S-92 Accident Investigators Recommend Real-time HUMS
The helicopter was recording information that the crew could not use, the AAIB finds.

While current helicopter health usage and monitoring systems (HUMS) are valuable tools, they are not always fail-safe. That's the takeaway from a report released earlier this year by the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) detailing a potentially catastrophic hard landing on a North Sea oil platform by a CHC Sikorsky S-92 on Dec. 28, 2016, and using it to make the case for real-time HUMS.
