A method for collecting operational data from an aircraft having a display screen for operational data. The method includes using a mobile terminal equipped with at least one optical sensor, images of the display screen are acquired in such a way that at least some of the acquired images represent operational data displayed on the display screen; using an optical character recognition (OCR) module associated with said mobile terminal, character strings each representative of one piece of said operational data displayed on the display screen are identified in the acquired images; and using a report generation module and said identified character strings, an electronic report is generated containing at least some of said operational data of the aircraft.

A method for monitoring a degree of clogging of the starting injectors of a turbine engine, which includes: a combustion chamber into which at least one starting injector supplied with fuel leads, the starting injectors being suitable for initiating the combustion in the chamber by igniting the fuel; and a turbine rotated by the gases resulting from the combustion of the fuel in the chamber, the method including the steps involving: the measurement, during a phase of starting the turbine engine, of the temperature of the exhaust gases at the outlet of the turbine; and the determination, from the changes over time in the temperature thus measured, of a degree of clogging of the starting injectors. A system for monitoring a degree of clogging capable of implementing the method, and a turbine engine including such a system.

Method for monitoring a degree of clogging of the starting injectors of a turbine engine

The invention relates to a method () for monitoring a degree of coking at dynamic seals of a turbine engine comprising: a gas generator including a rotary shaft and an injection wheel mounted on the shaft; a fuel injection manifold designed to convey fuel to the injection wheel; and dynamic seals designed to provide a seal between the injection wheel and the fuel injection manifold. The method is characterised in that it comprises steps consisting in: measuring () the rotation speed of the gas generator shaft during a turbine engine autorotation phase, and determining () a degree of coking at the dynamic seals, based on changes in the measured rotation speed over time. The invention also relates to a turbine engine equipped with a monitoring system.

The invention relates to a method () for monitoring a degree of coking at the dynamic seals of a turbine engine comprising: The invention also relates to a turbine engine comprising a system for monitoring a degree of coking.

Monitoring of a degree of coking at dynamic seals by a starter

The invention relates to a system for recommending maintenance of helicopter engines depending on the technical condition of the engine, the standard replacement of parts between engines, and the replacement of parts with different parts. The system comprises: a centralized database storing data relating to (i) working condition and working condition indicators, (ii) modifications of the engines, (iii) maintenance plans for the engines, (iv) causes of unscheduled events, (v) maintenance applied to the engines, and (vi) instantiated configurations; means for acquiring the working condition indicators and for updating the working condition data; means for identifying maintenance to be applied to the engines depending on the data; means for generating an alarm for identified maintenance to be performed; means for the digitally-signed updating of the applied maintenance and configuration data according to maintenance operations; and means for deactivating an alarm once the maintenance associated with the alarm is completed.
