Am interested to hear specific problems with HUMS, especially retrofit, after all none of us are perfect. That said there are a few of us out here who believe whole - heartedly in the future of such systems, whether they are made in Toulouse, Eastleigh, Fareham or wherever. One of the biggest problems with HUMS is false alerts, when a system detects a "fault" that isn't really a helicopter problem. This can happen from alert thresholds being incorrectly set, faulty sensors or corrupt data files. All I can tell you is that manufacturers, operators and regulatory authorities are aware of this, and are constantly working to reduce false alerts, without compromising the ability to detect real faults... its a fine line
