Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for detecting anomalies in a transmission system of an aircraft equipped with a monitoring system, which includes a number of sensors coupled to the transmission system and determines, for each flight of the aircraft a number of respective time intervals and acquires through each sensor, for each of the time intervals, a corresponding primary signal indicative of a corresponding dynamic quantity dependent on the operation of the transmission system during at least part of the time interval. For each sensor, the monitoring system determines, starting from each primary signal acquired through the sensor during a corresponding time interval, a corresponding set of values of at least one corresponding group of synthetic indexes. The method includes detecting anomalies of the transmission system on the basis of the groups of synthetic indexes.
