Abstract
Systems and methods for diagnosing gas turbine engine faults are provided. In this regard, a representative method includes: dynamically assessing detected symptoms based, at least in part, on failure rates of components of the gas turbine engine as functions of usage of the components such that suspected faults are identified.
