SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING A FUEL LEAK IN AN AIRCRAFT

Abstract:

A method of and a system for detecting a fuel leak in an aircraft, the aircraft comprising a first engine and a second engine. The method comprises upon determining that the aircraft has reached a first mode of operation: acquiring a first baseline fuel flow of the first engine; acquiring a second baseline fuel flow of the second engine. The method further comprises monitoring a first current fuel flow measured at the first engine and a second current fuel flow measured at the second engine; and triggering a fuel leak detection based on an analysis of the first baseline fuel flow, the first current fuel flow, the second baseline fuel flow and the second current fuel flow.
