Not just CHC. Power point training on a computer or MAYBE actually getting a hums course but 10 years ago is not sufficient to keep anyone proficient. Maybe the signs were there but no one recognized them since the training was either non existent or sub par. As for checking the HUMs Data it is CHC wide to do this after every flight and signed for as a maintenance release before the next flight.
As this was a Statoil contract the HUMS data would have been checked between flights.
In fact after this was put into the Statoil contract (several years ago) CHC check all HUMS data between flights.
