GF - Its not just Industry Insider's attitude that is needed, its his money as well! In my previous post I mentioned the difficulty for operators, but of course I should have said that such developments are really the remit of the manufacturers. Unfortunately there doesn't seem much desire to go to the next stage of HUMS by the manufacturers, some of whom seem to regard HUMS as an annoying bolt-on required by untrusting customers. Although the detail has changed, I can't think of any conceptual changes of consequence that have occured since HUMS was introduced in the late 80s, that's about 25 years ago. Are we as an industry even doing AAD? I don't think so (although happy to be corrected).
