1. A method of re-trimming an engine control parameter of a gas turbine engine comprising steps to:
- a measure an engine parameter over time;
b calculate change in the measured parameter per engine cycle;
c determine change of thrust due to the calculated change in the measured parameter from a reference database;
d define a new trim value for the engine control parameter that is a function of the change of thrust; and
e apply the new trim value to the engine control parameter.

Abstract
A method of re-trimming an engine control parameter. Measure an engine parameter over time. Calculate change in the measured parameter per engine cycle. Determine change of thrust due to the calculated change in the measured parameter from a reference database. Define a new trim value for the engine control parameter that is a function of the change of thrust. Apply the new trim value to the engine control parameter.
