Abstract
A system and method for detecting inlet temperature distortion of an engine are described. The method comprises obtaining an outside air temperature from at least one first sensor, obtaining an inlet temperature of the engine from at least one second sensor, determining an inlet temperature distortion based on a difference between the outside air temperature and the inlet temperature, comparing the inlet temperature distortion to a threshold, and issuing an alert when the inlet temperature distortion exceeds the threshold.
