A prototype helicopter limit cueing (HLC) system was designed, installed, and evaluated in flight test in early 2002. This paper describes the design, cueing methodology, and interim flight test results of this project. The system described in this paper used available Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) parameters and a simple and cost-effective mechanical spring/electric motor combination to achieve a tactile cue that warned the pilot of impending exceedences of the transmission torque limit. Three high-workload maneuvers were used to evaluate the prototype HLC system. Results indicate that with an appropriate design, inadvertent over-torque events could be eliminated with a HLC system while reducing pilot workload.
