  • METHODS FOR DETERMINING PERFORMANCE OF AN AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM OF AN AIRCRAFT
    Publication number: 20170084095
    Abstract: Methods of determining an overall performance of air-conditioning system(s) are disclosed. The methods include transmitting data from a sensor operably coupled to at least one air-conditioning pack, comparing the transmitted data, determining an overall performance of the air-conditioning system(s) based on the comparing, and providing an indication of the determined overall performance of the air-conditioning system(s).

  • Methods of monitoring hydraulic fluid levels in an aircraft
    Patent number: 9316520
    Abstract: A method of monitoring hydraulic fluid levels in an aircraft includes identifying segments of operation where the aircraft meets a predetermined stability criteria, receiving output from the fluid sensor, calculating hydraulic fluid levels within the at least one hydraulic storage tank, determining a hydraulic fluid value indicative of the amount of hydraulic fluid in the aircraft based on at least the calculated hydraulic fluid level, and providing an indication of the hydraulic fluid value.
