Health and Usage Monitoring System, Blade Tracker Interface Specification(STABILIZED Apr 2020)
AS5393A
Blade trackers measure: (a) rotor blade height and (b) lead-lag for use in a Rotor Track and Balance (RT&B) function in a Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS). HUMS is a generic term for a system used to measure, monitor, process, and store information relating to the functioning and usage of an aircraft's on-board primary systems, including the engine(s).
Rationale:
The HM-1 Committee has agreed to stabilize this document due to a lack of industry standardization for the blade tracker interface. However, the document contains useful technical information and therefore should not be cancelled.
