Abstract
A method of predicting a horizontal stabilizer system fault in an aircraft, where the method includes receiving data relevant to a characteristic of the pitch of the aircraft during flight, comparing the received data to a reference pitch characteristic, predicting a fault in the horizontal stabilizer system based on the comparison, and providing an indication of the predicted fault.

A method of predicting a horizontal stabilizer system fault in an aircraft, the method comprising:
- receiving data relevant to a characteristic of a pitch of the aircraft during flight;
- comparing the received data to a reference pitch characteristic;
- predicting a fault in the horizontal stabilizer system based on the comparison;
- and
- providing an indication of the predicted fault.

A method for monitoring faults in an aircraft horizontal stabilizer system, the method comprising:
- receiving data relevant to a median characteristic of a pitch of the aircraft during a number of flights;
- comparing the received data to a historical reference pitch characteristic;
- predicting a fault in the horizontal stabilizer system based on the comparison;
- and
- providing an indication of the predicted fault.
