Recording Functions: Usage Monitoring System (UMS)
The EC145 T2 Usage Monitoring System (UMS) acquires and analysis a list of parameters coming
from engine and vehicle systems in order to support customers in their maintenance programs.
– UMS is standard on EC145 T2 – On-Ground processing with UMCard (step 1) / MGS (step 2)
– Compliant with the specifications of the regulations JAR OPS3 and EASA-OPS CAT.POL.H.305.
– The recorded UMS data are stored by the DTD automatically at the end of the flight or on request
– The recorded UMS data is downloaded via the CF-Card
System Architecture:
Recording Functions: Usage Monitoring System (UMS)
UMS Functions:
H/C Usage Monitoring
– Automatic detection, monitoring and reporting of limitation exceedance
– Chip warning
– Flight Time, Block Time
– Cycles
Engine Usage Monitoring

– Automatic detection, monitoring and reporting of limitation exceedance
– Chip warning
– Counters & Cycles
Engine Power Check (H/C on ground & H/C in flight)
Automatic display of Flight Report Pages at the end of the flight

– number of Flight Report Pages adapted to the recorded exceedances
– “EVENT(S) DETECTED” message in 1st Flight report page (UMS event like OEI,
overlimitation or IBF exceedance or chip or engine service needed event)
– “FLT REPORT OVLIM” alert in Master List in case of chip event and/or limit exceedance)
Recording Functions: Health Monitoring System (HMS)
The overall goal is to provide information pertaining to the condition of the helicopter dynamic
system and engine, to support customers in their maintenance program application.
 System Architecture & Options:

• HMS Fixed Provisions (include cables, fittings, and cables for EVM sensors)
• HMS Detachable Provisions (DMAU, Sensors)

Recording Functions: Health Monitoring System (HMS)
 Functions:
• Drive train health monitoring
• Rotor Tuning
• Shaft Vibration Check (on-board)
• Engine Vibration Monitoring (EVM) (future MGS capability)
 Benefits:
• Less unscheduled maintenance due to early fault detection
• Allows maintenance preparation and planning as well as spare part ordering at earlier stage
• Reduces time for failure localization and can reduce secondary damage
• Improved AHD technical support based on HMS data
• Rotor tuning during normal operation - no additional maintenance flight and no time required
to install and de-install the system,
Helicopter Flight Data Monitoring (HFDM) + FDCR + HOMP
HFDM is a systematic way of acquiring, analyzing and acting upon information from flight data
to improve operations safety.
 Functions:
• Requires FDCR SW (Flight Data Continuous Recorder)
available in Step2 as standard feature on HC

• Visualisation and analysis of flight data (standard)
• 3D flight and cockpit visualisation and flight replay SW
(OE)
 Benefits:
Applying the information learned from HFDM helps to find
new ways to improve safety, in flying practice, training,
operating procedures and to increase overall operational
efficiency.
