Abstract
Sensor selection status monitoring and maintenance logic for generating messages relating to intermittent and “in-range” faults are described. In one embodiment, a transition count is generated indicating a number of times the selection status number changes during a flight. A time duration table is generated indicating an amount of time a selection status number is recorded in each of its possible states during the flight. The maintenance logic utilizes outputs from the monitoring logic to generate maintenance messages.
