The HUMS acquisitions are carried out by one processor in the DAPU, there is another separate processor for FDAU (FDR) data gathering. The DAPU has no crash-proof memory.

The FDAU data (and some HUMS data) is stored on a standard CVFDR (voice and data) using a tape loop. It is this unit that holds the information that the AAIB will investigate.
