Abstract
A method for fault determination for an aircraft includes the steps of generating a predicted maneuver of the aircraft using an aircraft operating input and a model of aircraft performance, determining an actual maneuver of the aircraft using information obtained from an inertial measurement system, comparing the predicted maneuver and the actual maneuver, and determining a fault of the aircraft based on the comparison of the predicted maneuver and the actual maneuver.
