A computer device is provided. The computer device includes at least one memory and at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory.

The non-operational gap represents a series of consecutive non-operating days for the aircraft. The at least one processor is also programmed to compare the one or more non-operational gaps for the plurality of aircraft based on each aircraft's corresponding in-service date, detect a plurality of anchors in the plurality of aircraft flight leg data, compare the one or more non-operational gaps for the plurality of aircraft to the plurality of anchors, and determine a future maintenance event for a first aircraft based on the comparison.
