GPMS International is collaborating with Metro Aviation to pursue a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for its health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) Foresight MX, on the EC145 platform.
John Byus, Director of Sales – Americas, GPMS, said: “Nearly 75% of the EC145 fleet is flying in public safety or air medical configurations today. Aircraft availability is critical for these operators as the lives and safety of the people they serve are dependent on their ability to fly when needed. With Foresight MX, there is a tremendous opportunity for operators to improve the safety and efficiency of their operations, while improving their service rate as well.”
Milton Geltz, Managing Director, GPMS, added: “Our end game is not only to utilise Foresight MX for post-flight analysis but to alert ground crews in real-time using the Outerlink IRIS FDM and Sat Comm system.”
