System and method for operational phase detection

An aircraft comprising:

• a plurality of sensors configured to generate sensor data during operation of the aircraft, wherein the sensor data includes aircraft speed data acquired from a speed sensor of the plurality of sensors;
• a processor configured to:
• receive the sensor data;
• segment the sensor data into segment intervals according to a set of operational phase transition conditions;
• identify a plurality of candidate operational phase transitions to identify a number of operational phases associated with operation of the aircraft, wherein identifying the plurality of candidate operational phase transitions includes:
• identify a candidate operational phase transition from a first operational phase of the aircraft to a candidate operational phase of the aircraft based on a determination that a first value of a first parameter of the sensor data satisfies a first condition associated with the candidate operational phase, the first value corresponding to a first time, wherein the first condition is satisfied at the first time when the first parameter value of the sensor data is greater than or equal to a first detection threshold;
• evaluate, for a second time that is subsequent to the first time, values of a second parameter of the sensor data based on a second condition associated with the candidate operational phase;
• and
• based on a determination that the second condition is satisfied, generate an operational phase transition output that indicates an occurrence of an operational phase transition at the first time;
• and
• a display device configured to display a user interface display including a chronological ordering of multiple operational phases associated with actual operation of the aircraft based on the identification of the number of operational phases.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining data associated with operation of an aircraft, wherein the data includes aircraft speed data acquired from a speed sensor onboard the aircraft;
• identifying a plurality of candidate operational phase transitions to identify a number of operational phases associated with operation of the aircraft, wherein identifying the plurality of candidate operational phase transitions includes:
• identifying a set of operational phase transition conditions based on rules defining detection of operational phase transitions associated with the aircraft;
• binning the data to generate data segments, each data segment corresponding to a set of data values bounded by at least one operational phase transition condition;
• detecting an operational phase transition from a first operational phase to a candidate operational phase based on the data segments based on a determination that a first value of a first parameter of the data satisfies a first condition associated with the candidate operational phase, the first value corresponding to a first time, wherein the first condition is satisfied at the first time when the first parameter value of the data is greater than or equal to a first detection threshold;
• and
• generating an operational phase transition indication that indicates an occurrence of the operational phase transition;
• and
• displaying, on a user interface display of the aircraft, a chronological ordering of multiple operational phases associated with actual operation of the aircraft based on the identification of the number of operational phases.
