Thank you all for your replys to my post , I feel that there are 2 ways forward the single track, " we know what is best" or the one "we are all in this together", some take one route, others try and look at the overall picture.
HC you are correct I have never seen a HUMS ground station or a M'ARMS station, not being a professional helicopter pilot this thread is only of academic interest to me, other than hoping that discussion will push forward safety, but I have looked at a fair amount of telemetry information from in car systems, still don't understand all of it, would totally agree it is a specialised field, but big trends are noticeable, as in 192. why was it not acted upon, I would have walked away if someone could not have given me a very sound reason for jump in reading.
If there is a dodgy graph, I would like to have it explained to my satisfaction.

We are thinking along the same lines, I feel that physical intervention produces its own dangers, so the best of both worlds is the way forward.

Thanks for your offer will PM you, don't know how much will sink in but will try to get my head around as much as possible.
I appreciate the 5 tonnes and over, presumably due to cost , complexity & commercial pressure, perhaps with further work and a larger user base, the cost should come down allowing lighter helicopters to utilise maybe a cut down version of the technology,
