But HUMS should have picked this up.
Pablo, are you referring to the upper bearing where the mast comes through the top of the housing? Unfamiliar with this aircraft, but I think I understand that there are oil jets that keep lube coming to that bearing. If the lube doesn't get there, how does a rising temperature get detected? (I think I see your point on an impending bearing failure being picked up by a HUMS sensor).
