ABSTRACT:
A method for determining an engine part life usage of a gas turbine engine life limited part used on an aircraft. The method includes operating a gas turbine engine that includes a plurality of rotating components and a plurality of sensors configured to monitor a plurality of gas turbine engine operating parameters, obtaining outputs from the plurality of sensors, and utilizing at least some of the outputs to calculate the life usage of at least one life limited part to facilitate tracking the life-usage of an individual life limited part on the gas turbine engine that is consumed on a flight by flight basis.
