If you read the
accident report into G-JSAR, also an L2, is says the following referring to HUMS:
The system comprises a number of accelerometers and transducers around the engines, airframe and drivetrain. Vibration signals from a number of major components are monitored and recorded. The data accumulated during aircraft operation is transferred, usually on a daily basis, to the operator's ground-based computer system.
Whether this system has subsequently been up-dated to allow for real-time analysis and presentation to the flight crew I do not know.
