  • Patent number: 9902506
    Abstract: Historical aircraft data recorded during flight associated with a plurality of aircraft engines and a plurality of prior aircraft flights is accessed and metrics from the aircraft data recorded during flight is automatically calculated on a per-flight basis, and a probabilistic model is employed to capture and represent relationships based on the calculated metrics, the relationships including a plurality of engine parameters and flight parameters. Conditional probability distributions are then calculated for a particular aircraft engine during a potential or historical aircraft flight based on the probabilistic model, engine parameter values associated with the particular aircraft engine, and flight parameter values associated with the potential or historical aircraft flight, and indications associated with the calculated conditional probability distributions are displayed.
