CHC Implementing Real-time HUMS On AW139 Fleet
System Mates Leonardo Heliwise To SKYTRAC

CHC Helicopter, in collaboration with Leonardo and Skytrac, is introducing a real-time aircraft data solution on the AW139 medium-twin helicopter. A controlled rollout of the system across CHC’s AW139 fleet is under way at the company’s Den Helder, Netherlands base. It installs Leonardo’s Heliwise health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) analysis libraries onboard the aircraft. Skytrac’s ISAT-200A data acquisition unit then monitors for Heliwise exceedances during flight and communicates HUMS alerts in real time.
