Engine Trend Monitoring
Optimizing Every Flight since 2001.
Engine Trend Monitoring (ETM)
Engine Trend Monitoring is the collection and analysis of engine data to detect deterioration, accelerated wear and other damage. By tracking the operational parameters of the engine and correcting for atmospheric conditions, it is possible to monitor and trend the health and stability of your aircraft engine. Issues such as early hot section deterioration or bleed leaks can be discovered, assessed and corrected before escalating into an unexpected cost, failure, or grounding. This early detection tool can help avoid costly secondary damage to the engine and reduce associated unexpected aircraft downtime and maintenance.
Trend analysis requires recording of parameters such as N1/N2 RPM, ITT, Fuel Flow, OAT (Outside Air Temperature), airspeed and altitude. Further information such as engine vibration, oil temperature, and pressure, also provide a depth of information for analysis. While it is possible for this data to be gathered manually, it is far more accurate to obtain stabilized automatic collection of these readings.
Latitude’s products and services allow operators to retrofit automatic engine data collection and transfer. Automated collection and transfer reduces the time delay between data capture and analysis, which is critical in making the most of your engine trending program.
