Patent ID: 10032321

Abstract:
A method of estimating future change in operation of a monitored aircraft (A), including the following steps performed by a computer on board the monitored aircraft, to calculate a current state of the monitored aircraft (ECA) from measurements (VFA) of variables related to operation of the monitored aircraft, to send a request to analyze the similarity of the calculated current state with previous states (EPB) of similar aircraft, and to analyze change in operation (SPB) of each similar aircraft having a similar previous state to determine a probable change (FPA) in operation of the monitored aircraft. The method includes a step performed by a computer (B) on board each aircraft, to compare the calculated current state (ECA) with previous states (EPB) of similar aircraft, and send the change in operation (SPB) corresponding to an identified similar previous state. The invention includes an on board system capable of implementing the method.
