ABSTRACT:
A system, method and apparatus for monitoring the performance of a gas turbine engine. A counter value Indicative of the comparison between the engine condition and the threshold condition is adjusted. The aircraft operator is warned of an impending maintenance condition based on the counter value and determines an appropriate course of action.
