A method detects an impendent situation of an operating aircraft. The method comprises receiving data corresponding to a plurality of parameters related to an operation of the aircraft. It is determined if any of the plurality of parameters is at or beyond at least a first respective threshold by comparing the plurality of parameters with the first respective thresholds. If at least one of the parameters is an outlier parameter at or beyond its first respective threshold, another or others of the plurality of parameters associated to the at least one outlier parameter is identified, the at least one other parameter being selected based on a predetermined combination of parameters representative of an adverse condition.

Abstract

Detent systems for rotary actuators that utilize one or more sets of magnets that have either attractive or repulsive characteristics. A biasing magnetic element may be positioned to repel a floating movable magnet. The repelled movable magnetic element is forced into contact with a serrated detenting ring via the repulsive force between magnets of common pole. As the detenting ring is rotated relative to the biasing magnet, the “floating” magnetic element is forced closer to the biasing magnet. The repulsive force drives the floating magnetic element into the next recess detent causing the rotational component to snap to the next detented position. The magnetic element rolls about its longitudinal axis as the magnetic element moves from one detent location to the next, which results in rolling friction that tends to cause significantly lower surface wear and increased life.
