Pattern classification system with smart data collection for environmental control system fault isolation

A computer implemented method for detecting health status of an environmental control system, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor, aircraft data of an aircraft;
• receiving, by the processor, flight data of an aircraft;
• calculating, by the processor, a predicted performance of the aircraft based on the received aircraft data and the received flight data;
• comparing, by the processor, the predicted performance of the aircraft with a measured performance of the aircraft over a predetermined time period;
• determining, by the processor, a difference between the predicted performance of the aircraft and the measured performance of the aircraft over the predetermined time period;
• transmitting, by the processor, a maintenance report once the determined difference is greater than a predetermined threshold;
• and
• transmitting instructions on replacement or repair of a failure of modes or components.

A computer system for detecting health status of an environmental control system, the computer system comprising:

• a memory having processor-readable instructions stored therein;
• and
• at least one processor configured to access the memory and execute the processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the processor configures the processor to perform a plurality of functions, including functions for:
• receiving aircraft data of an aircraft;
• receiving flight data of the aircraft;
• calculating a predicted performance of the aircraft based on the received aircraft data and the received flight data;
• generating at least one model scalar, wherein the at least one model scalar is generated based on the aircraft data of the aircraft;
• identifying at least one pattern from the at least one model scalar;
• classifying the at least one pattern into at least one of a plurality of classifications;
• identifying a failure of modes or components from the classifications;
• and
• transmitting a maintenance report once the failure of modes or components is identified.
