Abstract
A method for detecting a fuel leak in a fuel system of an aircraft having at least two engines, where both a first engine and a second engine are each assigned a tank device and each at least one sensor device connected to a control and evaluation device. By means of the at least one sensor device, values for the assigned engine are determined from a group of defined parameters. The control and evaluation device compares the values determined by the sensor devices, corresponding with one another, and detects a fuel leak of the fuel system when there is a divergence in the values of a parameter that exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
