Abstract
A method for monitoring a gear retract braking load alleviation system includes receiving, from a wheel speed sensor associated with a wheel of a landing gear during an in-air operation, a plurality of wheel speed measurements. The method includes determining a landing gear load metric based on the plurality of wheel speed measurements. The method also includes, in response to the landing gear load metric satisfying a landing gear load threshold, generating an alert indicating a potential maintenance issue associated with the landing gear.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a wheel speed sensor associated with a wheel of a landing gear during an in-air operation, a plurality of wheel speed measurements;
- determining a landing gear load metric based on the plurality of wheel speed measurements, wherein said determining the landing gear load metric comprises determining the landing gear load metric based on a dynamic model of the landing gear;
- and
- in response to the landing gear load metric satisfying a landing gear load threshold, generating an alert indicating a potential maintenance issue associated with the landing gear.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- receive, from a wheel speed sensor associated with a wheel of a landing gear, a plurality of wheel speed measurements;
- determine a landing gear load metric based on the plurality of wheel speed measurements, wherein said determining the landing gear load metric is based on a dynamic model of the landing gear;
- and
- in response to a determination that the landing gear load metric satisfies a landing gear load threshold, generate an alert indicating a potential maintenance issue associated with the landing gear.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, from a wheel speed sensor associated with a wheel of a landing gear, a plurality of wheel speed measurements;
- determine a landing gear load metric based on the plurality of wheel speed measurements, wherein said determining the landing gear load metric is based on a dynamic model of the landing gear;
- and
- in response to a determination that the landing gear load metric satisfies a landing gear load threshold, generate an alert indicating a potential maintenance issue associated with the landing gear.
