This term HUMS is often used in reference to airborne craft and in particular rotor-craft – the term is cited as being introduced by the offshore oil industry after a commercial Chinook crashed in the North Sea, killing all but two passengers in 1986. HUMS are now used not only for safety but for a number of other reasons including ▪ Maintenance: reduced mission aborts, fewer aircraft on ground, simplified logistics for fleet deployment ▪ Cost: “maintain as you fly” maintenance flights are not required. Performing repairs when the damage is minor increases the aircraft mean time before failure and decreases the mean time to repair ▪ Operational: improved flight safety, mission reliability and effectiveness ▪ Performance: improved aircraft performance and reduced fuel consumption...
