By 12:04 you have found the CAP that supports the UK regulation that requires HUMS (the Norwegian have a rule in the BSL too and EASA have published the rule to expand that across Europe):
However that is the MEL limit not the guidance on how often to download*.
The CAA guidance earlier in that CAP is that HUMS should be downloaded ideally even during rotors running turnarounds.
Though that was common practice with some operators before.
However, at this stage assumptions of what or might not have detected something and when are fantasy only.
ahmen
* OGP don't even quote that as they still refer to a CAP that was redundant when CAP753 was issued in 2006! OGP guidelines are only for daily downloads (and I'm sure they would oppose rotors running HUMS downloads, especially offshore).
Thanks, a prime example of why we aren't getting anywhere with safety! You think it's tedious to try and influence how we approach a subject that has potential to save lives?
