Eurocopter South East Asia hosts 9th HUMS User Conference on 5th to 7th April 2011 in its new facility in Singapore. On  7th April, the last day of the conference,  the  participants celebrated the 10th anniversary of Eurocopter Asie Support Technique (EAST) HUMS Support.

“This celebration marks an important milestone for ESEA. 10 years is not a short period and we are proud that the EAST HUMS support team has successfully developed their capabilities and received recognition amongst operators. We are also happy to celebrate this joyous and momentous occasion with the  whole Eurocopter HUMS community,” said Mr Colin Wong, ESEA Vice-President, Support & Services.

HUMS related issues demand urgent response and operators require the prompt support and attention from Eurocopter. Shortly after HUMS equipped aircraft started operating in the Asian region, it became apparent that support for Asian operators from France, Marignane was challenging for Eurocopter due to time zone difference and distance from local operating situations. Thanks to the foresight of the senior management in Marignane, an important and strategic decision was made 10 years ago to set up a HUMS support team for Asian operators.  This decision was indeed the precursor to the internationalization approach that is being adopted currently by Eurocopter.

Despite  skepticism by some during the initial setup of EAST HUMS Support, a strong HUMS support structure was established for Asian HUMS operators over a short period of time. This was achieved with the close working relationship and dedication of HUMS support team members at Marignane and at ESEA. The quality and speed of support were well recognized by Asian customers. Today, EAST HUMS Support also provides HOMP/HFDM support to regional customers.

Mr  Frederic Moha, from Eurocopter HUMS Program, presented a commemorative plaque to Dr. Bernhard Brenner, President of ESEA, in recognition of the contributions by EAST HUMS Support for the past ten years.  Mr Moha declared “I am delighted to be part of this celebration to witness EAST’s success story in Asia. Over the years, the EAST team has grown to be an integral part of Eurocopter’s HUMS support network. Together with the rest of the team in Marignane, we are confident that we are able to support a  wider network of HUMS users in the years to come.”
