Sikorsky to Provide Flight Data Monitoring Program

Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. has signed an agreement with Flightscape to provide a Helicopter Flight Data Monitoring (HFDM) capability for both its S-76 and S-92 aircraft. HFDM is a ground-station based system that is used to play back flight data to assess how the aircraft is flown and operated. Flight data is recorded by the Goodrich Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) on the S-92 and by the EXVP HUMS on the S-76. The system's data collection and analysis capabilities augment the aircraft's existing HUMS system and also can help with the troubleshooting of aircraft operational issues, said Marc Poland, Sikorsky vice president, commercial programs.
