Arrow Aviation installs GPMS HUMS on HALO-Flight Bell 407GXi GPMS International has announced the successful first installation of its industry-leading Foresight MX Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) on HALO-Flight’s Bell 407GXi, marking a major milestone in the helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) sector. With this installation, HALO-Flight becomes the first HEMS operator in the United States to equip its fleet with Foresight MX, reinforcing its commitment to safety, reliability, and operational excellence. The installation was completed by Arrow Aviation, a GPMS Certified Installer. “We are proud to support HALO-Flight as the first HEMS operator to integrate Foresight MX into their operations,” said John Byus, Director of Sales at GPMS. “In life-saving missions where every second counts, ensuring aircraft availability and reliability is critical. HALO-Flight’s decision to adopt Foresight MX underscores their unwavering commitment to the safety of their crews and the communities they serve.” Serving the South Texas region, HALO-Flight recently enhanced its fleet with Bell 407GXi helicopters, incorporating the latest technology, including instrument flight rules (IFR) capability to enhance operational safety. The addition of Foresight MX further strengthens this modernization effort, delivering real-time aircraft monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities to keep aircraft mission-ready while streamlining maintenance operations. “At HALO-Flight, we are always looking for ways to enhance the safety and efficiency of our operations,” said Travis Patterson, CEO of HALO-Flight. “Implementing Foresight MX allows us to take a proactive approach to maintenance, reducing unscheduled downtime and ensuring our aircraft are always ready to respond. This investment is not just about technology—it’s about ensuring we can continue to serve our South Texas community with the highest level of reliability and care.” GPMS’s Foresight MX is certified on a wide range of popular HEMS aircraft, including the Bell 407, Bell 429, Bell 412, Airbus H125, Airbus H135, and most recently, the Airbus H145. Its advanced HUMS capabilities provide operators with comprehensive flight data analysis, early fault detection, and actionable insights to optimize fleet performance.
