Utility helicopter operator PJ Helicopters has ordered GPMS International’s Foresight MX health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) for its fleet of MD530Fs, Bell 407s, 429s, UH-60s, and Boeing CH-47s. The helicopters are used for utility, power line, and firefighting operations in the U.S.

Foresight MX features connectivity that allows PJ Helicopters to monitor the health of its aircraft remotely. SMS and email notifications alert the operator of any exceedances or negative trends after every flight, according to GPMS. The HUMS provides predictive health information, engine and flight data monitoring, and rotor track-and-balance capabilities.
