A prognostic and health accuracy maintenance system and method for a system following on-site replacement of a component in the system is provided. A system characterization model of at least portions of the system is generated and embedded within a controller in the system. The system characterization model is adapted to receive a plurality of signals that are each representative of an operational parameter within the system and is responsive to each of the signals to generate simulation response data and determine system health based, at least in part, on the simulation response data. When a component within the system is replaced, a determination is made as to whether the replacement component exhibits one or more operational performance characteristics that differ from the component it replaced. If so, the embedded system characterization model is updated in-situ.

Prognostic and health management accuracy maintenance system and method

An apparatus is provided for activating switches in a leading edge flap drive actuator. The apparatus comprises a mount plate having at least a first side, a second side, and an outer peripheral surface, an actuator arm rotationally coupled to the mount plate and rotationally moveable between at least an activate position and a deactivate position, and a spring arm coupled to the mount plate and extending away from the mount plate outer perpheral surface, the spring arm configured to supply a force that biases the actuator arm toward the deactivate position at least when the actuator arm is in the activate position.
