All the helicopters I have flown have a 'chip detector' installed for the engine and gearboxes, which is basically the same thing. If the warning light comes on, I don't fly to the next repair shop. I land.

be advised that the Guardian is not designed to tell you that you need to replace the imsb. once the Guardian gives an alarm, the motor has to be rebuilt because all the metal will have gone through the motor. All the guardian does is give Jake Raby a rsady supply of new business for his motor rebhilding bhsiness.
Many people who get the guardian will remove it once it alarms and sell the car to an unsuspecting buyer.
