Abstract
A method for detecting damages to a rotor of an aircraft, where the aircraft comprises actuators for active vibration reduction, may comprising one or more of the following steps: determining actuator variables in a reference flight of the aircraft; plotting the actuator variables of respective data range tiles determined in the reference flight of the aircraft in first coordinates of a coordinate system, wherein the coordinate system contains numerous data range tiles; obtaining the number of actuator variables in the reference flight of the aircraft that are located in each data range tile; eliminating the data range tiles that have a number of actuator variables lying below a limit value for this in the reference flight of the aircraft, by means of which a reference flight signature is created; and determining actuator variables for a flight-specific signature.
