"For the record, Bristow downloads the HUMS data at each return to base, and an aircraft is in not despatched until the HUMS data has been checked and found to be "green". That process takes less than 5 minutes".
(Could be 4 hours of data?)
If correct surely it is no beyond reason to mandate this, 5 minutes v £XXm seems a good return.
I presume the new data is run against legacy data, & anomaly's logged\displayed, it is still not clear why there is no way of presenting real time information even in crude form,by continuous data streaming over air.
Formula 1 seems to have a fair grip on what is happening within engines, gear box & hydraulic systems, G force, steering angles, throttle & some life science for driver +++
