To improve the reliability of a control in a control system for devices included in an aircraft, such as engines. An engine control system 10 for controlling engines 11 of an aircraft includes a FADEC 30 including a calculation processing unit 33 for performing control calculation, and a first memory 321 for storing abnormality detection information that indicates that the calculation processing unit 33 detects an abnormality occurred in a sensor 20 and an actuator 21 used for a control. The abnormality detection information is not erased but still stored in the first memory 321 since the first memory 321 is not cleared even if the engine 11 is stopped. As a result, referring to the abnormality detection information makes it possible to avoid using a device having a low reliability, in which an abnormality is detected, for the control.
A control system for controlling an engine of an aircraft, the control system comprising a full authority digital engine control (“FADEC”) including a calculation processing unit for performing control calculation, and a storage for storing abnormality detection information that indicates a detected abnormality in a device used for an engine control, the abnormality being detected by the calculation processing unit, wherein the abnormality detection information is not erased but still stored in the storage even if the engine is stopped, as long as a power source of the FADEC is on.
