Abstract: A method estimates the health state of an aircraft pneumatic control valve through indirect measurements of available sensors. Measurements from identical valves operating under the same condition are compared. Residues are translated into estimates of individual valve degradation state. Historical degradation states can be used to predict expected time to failure.
