GPMS International has successfully delivered the first of two Foresight MX HUMS for Entergy’s two Bell 429 helicopters, strengthening the utility provider’s commitment to operational safety, efficiency, and predictive maintenance. “We’re proud to support Entergy with a smarter, more proactive approach to maintenance and fleet management,” said John Byus, director of sales at GPMS. “By equipping their Bell 429s with our HUMS, Entergy gains access to real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and remote diagnostic capabilities—helping them maximize uptime, enhance safety, and optimize maintenance planning.” Byus added, “Our HUMS is certified on some of the most widely used aircraft in the utility and energy sectors, including the Bell 407, Bell 429, H125, UH-60, and soon, the CH-47D. We’re proud to support leading operators like the Tennessee Valley Authority, Bonneville Power Administration, Western Area Power Administration, and Pacific Gas & Electric as they conduct essential power line inspections, infrastructure maintenance, and rapid storm response. The first Entergy installation was completed by Arrow Aviation, a new member of the GPMS Certified Installer Network. The second installation will take place at Bell Piney Flats, another GPMS Certified Installer. “Our Certified Installer Network continues to grow, and we’re excited to welcome Arrow Aviation to the team,” Byus stated. “Their deep expertise in MRO and aircraft customization makes them a valuable partner, and we look forward to working together on future installations.” David Guidry, general manager of Arrow Aviation, emphasized the shared goals of both two companies: “GPMS’s dedication to innovation and customer support aligns with our commitment to delivering the best solutions for our clients to make them successful. We’re eager to collaborate and bring Foresight MX to more operators.” VAI members interested in learning more about Foresight MX and taking advantage of the exclusive discount can contact GPMS directly at info@gpms-vt.com or visit GPMS at Booth #8425 at Verticon 2025 in Dallas, Texas on March 11-13.
