GPMS International has secured FAA supplemental type certificates for the installation of its Foresight MX health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) aboard Airbus EC135s and AS332 Super Pumas. Metro Aviation and operators Blackcomb Helicopters and Precision worked with GPMS on the latest STCs, which brought the total number of Airbus models approved for the health monitoring unit to five.

GPMS v-p of marketing Ronnie Ries said demand for the Foresight MX units is being driven by customers wanting to monitor their entire fleet, operators needing to meet contractual requirements, and operators looking at ways to mitigate significant business challenges.
