Integrated health management approach to propulsion control system protection limiting

A system comprising:

• an engine having a plurality of components each respectively configured to carry out a plurality of engine tasks;
• a controller configured to manipulate operating conditions of each the plurality of components;
• and
• a computer programmed to:
• identify a first component predicted to fail during an active engine operation from the plurality of components;
• determine an at least one new operating condition for the first component such that when implemented by the controller the first component will no longer be predicted to fail;
• and
• cause the controller to implement the at least one new operating condition so that the first component is no longer predicted to fail during the active operation.

A method comprising:

• identifying a first engine component that is predicted to fail during an active on-station operation, wherein identifying the first engine component occurs during the active on-station procedure;
• adjusting a first current limit constant during the active on-station procedure to provide a new first engine component limit protection to the first engine component, wherein adjusting the first current limit constant alters the active on-station procedure to an altered active on-station procedure;
• and
• determining that the first engine component working under the new first engine component limit protection is predicted to successfully perform during the altered active on-station procedure.
