1. A method of conducting drilling operations, the method comprising:
- conveying a bottomhole assembly into a borehole in the earth formation;
making dynamic measurements of at least one drilling parameter at a downhole location;
using a formation evaluation (FE) sensor to make at least one FE measurement indicative of a property of the formation; and
controlling a drilling operation using the at least one drilling parameter and the at least one FE measurement.

Abstract
A drilling system makes measurements of at least one drilling parameter such as downhole weight on bit, bit torque, bit revolutions, rate of penetration and bit axial acceleration, and at least one measurement responsive to formation properties. One or more processors use the measurements of drilling parameters and formation properties to adjust drilling parameters.
