20100280730METHOD OF MONITORING A GAS TURBINE ENGINE - Operation of gas turbine engines and in particular gas turbine engines utilised for aircraft, in an efficient manner is a desired objective. Thus engine efficiency is typically determined through use of an engine performance parameter. One such engine performance parameter is with regard to specific fuel consumption. However, such parameters may vary as a result of inherent deterioration with regard to the engine. By utilising a computational model to determine variations in the performance parameter such as the specific fuel consumption changes as a result of such inherent engine degradation can be accommodate. Thus, such degradation may not swamp actual changes in fuel consumption or the engine performance parameter which are indicative of changes of engine efficiency. Generally and initially, computational results are utilised in order to provide a value with regard to degradation changes in the performance parameter, but such changes may be augmented by practical test results in order to tune the off-set constants a, b for an individual engine.11-04-2010
