The Sikorsky S-92 has demonstrated the ability to transmit in-flight, real-time health usage and monitoring system (HUMS) data to PHI's operations control center, Sikorsky (Booth 8114), PHI and Outerlink Global Solutions collectively announced. The capability enables PHI operators to view, assess and track aircraft data and provide additional information to aircraft crew and ground support teams to enhance operational and maintenance decisions. The system is implemented with existing global satellite networks to support the global S-92 fleet. "We now have the ability to predict events by analyzing historical events in real time," said Metro president Mike Stanberry. PHI currently operates 70 Sikorsky aircraft. The worldwide S-92 fleet has grown to 275 aircraft.
