  • Engine monitoring display for maintenance management
    Patent number: 6408258
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for aircraft engine monitoring to permit management of individual aircraft in a fleet of aircraft. A processing system collects data on engine operational parameters and then uses this data to perform calculations to accurately determine time remaining until service and relative wear of specific engines in the fleet of aircraft. The time remaining until service and relative wear is displayed on a display screen which is configured to display this data for each engine separately. The displayed results can be used by an aircraft maintenance manager to accurately determine if the aircraft engines are being operated according to a maintenance plan, or to rotate the service of the aircraft to balance the wear on the aircraft engines in the fleet.
