GPMS partners with Wysong Enterprises
26/01/2022
GPMS, developer of the Foresight MX helicopter health monitoring system, has announced that it is adding Wysong Enterprises to its expanding network of certified installers.“Wysong has outstanding capabilities in helicopter avionics, modifications and maintenance and we’ve seen their first-rate work installing the Foresight kit on aircraft owned by our mutual customer Tennessee Valley Authority,” said Jed Kalkstein, President of GPMS. “Although any qualified technician can install Foresight MX, respected partners such as Wysong are a great resource for customers who choose not to install the kit themselves.”
Wysong has already completed installation on three Bell 429s, one Bell 407 and will work on an MD530.
“Wysong is excited to partner with GPMS,” said Paul Schreuder, Wysong’s Director of Operations. “We think predictive helicopter monitoring is where this industry is heading and we’ve been impressed by the high quality, light weight and easy installation of Foresight kit.”
Foresight MX is a next-generation predictive health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) certified on a range of commercial aircraft, including the Bell 407, 212/412 and 429, as well as the Airbus H125/AS350 B3 and (soon) MD Helicopters’ 530F. Foresight’s on-board system gathers in-flight data and automatically offloads it post-flight. The system offers vibration monitoring of engine and drivetrain components, rotor track and balance and helicopter flight data monitoring with exceedance alerting.
