As part of a maintenance cost reduction policy, the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) recently funded the development, acquisition, certification, and the fleetwide installation of a unique multi-channel on-board data-acquisition system for its Lynx helicopter, called AIDA (Automatic In-flight Data Acquisition). This 17-channel AIDA system will generate valuable RNLN Lynx usage and loads data on the main rotor, engines, and airframe, thus enableing the RNLN to optimize Lynx maintenance until the NH90 comes into full service and the Lynx fleet will be phased out. Apart from a technical description of the AIDA system, the paper describes how a relatively small operator, such as the RNLN, performed the rather complex AIDA development program by itself.
