Abstract
Method and apparatus for detecting an operational state of an aircraft comprising conducting passive measurements including measuring an electromagnetic frequency at a location. Measuring a magnetic flux density at the location. Determining that the aircraft is in a powered state when criteria are met, wherein the criteria include the measured electromagnetic frequency is between 370 Hz and 1 kHz and the measured magnetic flux density is between 9 nT and 9200 nT.
