<p>The method involves detecting the threshold exceedance by an operating parameter e.g. exhaust gas temperature, of a gas turbine engine of an aircraft e.g. airplane, during operation of the engine. An alert message relative to the exceedance is automatically transmitted to a ground-based data processing system i.e. computer, by the aircraft based on the exceedance detection. A severity exceedance level is automatically determined from the alert message. A counter representing number of times at which the operating parameter exceeds the severity exceedance level, is measured. An independent claim is also included for a threshold exceedance characterizing and counting system comprising a determination unit.</p> |
