Abstract
A method of characterizing and counting violations of a threshold by an operating parameter of an aircraft engine of an aircraft includes detecting, by the aircraft, a violation of the threshold by the operating parameter while the aircraft engine is in operation. The method also includes, on detecting the violation, automatically transmitting from the aircraft to a ground system a warning message about the violation. Further, the method includes, on the basis of the warning message, automatically determining a severity level for the violation. In addition, the method includes incrementing a counter representing a number of occasions the operating parameter of the aircraft engine has presented a violation corresponding to the severity level.
