ABSTRACT:
A method of monitoring an aircraft during use. Flight parameters of the aircraft are monitored to detect an excursion from a flight envelope. While the aircraft is still in flight, the monitored flight parameters are used to determine the severity of a detected excursion, aircraft component(s) possibly affected by the excursion are identified, and flight restrictions and/or inspections responsive to the excursion severity and identified component(s) are specified. This method provides valuable information to a flight crew about flight envelope excursions, can enhance passenger safety and can prevent unnecessary inspections and aircraft downtime.
