Methods and systems for providing a data-driven aircraft health report

A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a computer program product, comprising:

• a monitor program for comparing aircraft performance during flight against maximum aircraft performance specifications, that when executed on a computer system on an aircraft, the monitor program:
• receives a plurality of sensor signals from a respective plurality of sensors onboard the aircraft;
• individually compares each of the plurality of sensor signals to a respective maximum aircraft performance specification and records information related to any occurrence of exceeding the respective maximum aircraft performance specification;
• and
• provides a report presenting the information related to the occurrence of exceeding the respective maximum aircraft performance specification.

An aircraft, comprising:

• a fuselage having flight control surfaces attached thereto;
• one or more engines coupled to the fuselage to propel the aircraft;
• landing gear coupled to the fuselage and configured to facilitate movement of the aircraft while not in flight;
• a plurality of sensors positioned on the aircraft, each of the plurality of sensors providing a sensor signal represented a performance parameter of the aircraft during flight;
• and
• a computer system coupled to the plurality of sensors, the computer system comparing each of the plurality of sensor signals to a respective maximum aircraft performance specification, recording an information related to an occurrence of exceeding the respective maximum aircraft performance specification and providing a report presenting the information related to the occurrence of exceeding the respective maximum aircraft performance specification.
