PRESS RELEASE – Atlanta, 9 March 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foresight MX, the industry\u2019s leading Health and Usage Monitoring System, brings advanced predictive maintenance and operational intelligence to Bell 505 operators worldwide.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

GPMS International and Bell Textron Inc. announced today a collaboration to bring Foresight MX Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS)\u00a0to the Bell 505 helicopter. The effort expands the portfolio of Bell platforms supported by Foresight MX and will provide Bell 505 operators with advanced vibration monitoring, predictive maintenance insights, and flight data monitoring capabilities.
\u00a0
The Bell 505 has become a widely used platform for\u00a0flight training, law enforcement, and private operations worldwide. With Foresight MX installed, operators will be able to automatically capture and analyze aircraft vibration and operational data after each flight through GPMS\u2019s web-based analytics platform, enabling maintenance teams to better understand aircraft condition and operational trends.
\u00a0
The system also enables operators to share HUMS data with\u00a0Bell\u2019s industry-leading customer support team. With operator approval, captured vibration and flight data can be securely shared with Bell to provide additional insight to assist with troubleshooting and maintenance decision-making. By combining GPMS analytics with Bell\u2019s extensive product expertise and global support infrastructure, operators gain another tool to help keep aircraft available and missions on schedule.
\u00a0
\u201cBell is excited to collaborate with GPMS to bring HUMS capability to the Bell 505,\u201d said\u00a0Bret Finney, manager of aftermarket sales at Bell. \u201cOur operators, particularly military training organizations, will see significant benefits from improved aircraft availability and deeper operational insight. HUMS and Flight Data Monitoring capabilities allow instructors and maintenance teams to better understand what occurred during each flight, providing valuable feedback for student pilots while helping ensure aircraft are ready for the next training mission. Private operators will also appreciate the confidence that comes from understanding the health of their aircraft every time they land.\u201d
\u00a0
“We\u2019re extremely proud to expand our collaboration with Bell and bring Foresight MX to the Bell 505,\u201d said\u00a0Ronnie Ries, vice president of marketing at GPMS.\u00a0\u201cOur HUMS solutions are now available across an expanding range of Bell aircraft, including the 505, 407, 429, 212, and 412. Bell has been an industry leader in promoting HUMS, and we\u2019re proud to support their efforts to deliver our modern predictive maintenance and flight data monitoring capabilities to operators around the world.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
