Press Release 📢 SKYTRAC and Sikorsky today announced an agreement regarding the development of a next-generation real-time health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) for the S-92® helicopter. 🚁 The solution, which has been developed by both Sikorsky and SKYTRAC, will seamlessly integrate into Sikorsky's existing HUMS system. Leveraging SKYTRAC's Iridium Certus connectivity systems, the solution will enable in-flight exceedance detection and real-time alerting with automated post-flight downloads of flight data monitoring (FDM) and HUMS data. 🛰️ The introduction of this solution onboard S-92 helicopters will assist operators in meeting IOGP 690 standards. 🙌 Learn more about how the solution will benefit flight operations 👉 https://lnkd.in/gzD-Pijz
