Aircraft lru data collection and reliability prediction

A remote computing system for determining failure conditions associated with aircraft installed line-replaceable-units, the remote computing system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one module operable by the at least one processor to:
• receive first operational data collected by a first line-replaceable-unit, installed onboard a first aircraft, during flight operations of the first aircraft;
• receive second operational data collected by at least one second line-replaceable-unit, installed onboard at least one second aircraft, during flight operations of the at least one second aircraft;
• predict, based at least in part on the first operational data and the second operational data, a failure condition associated with the first line-replaceable-unit;
• and
• output, an indication of the failure condition.

A line-replaceable-unit configured for installation in an aircraft comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one module operable by the at least one processor to:
• during flight operations of the aircraft, automatically collect operational data associated with the line-replaceable-unit;
• responsive to determining that the aircraft has landed, automatically establish a communication session with a ground station;
• and
• automatically output, to a ground station, the operational data via the communication session for subsequent transmission to a remote computing system configured to predict, based on the operational data, one or more failure conditions associated with the line-replaceable-unit.
