It is common on a certain type of engine (made in Europe) for a brand-new recent-fit one to develop a 'harmless' chip light within the first few hours of use. To use this information though, you'd need to have the engine log book to hand.

You could always fit a HUM system and end up worrying needlessly over g figures and possibly suspect data. I think that there arn't many systems around that show a warning (a la S92) for impending doom, preferring to trust to luck, sorry, I mean traditional maintenance methods and correct emergency procedures.
