This paper targets to highlight flight safety issues by applying data mining techniques to recorded flight data and proactively detecting abnormalities in certain flight phases. For this purpose, a result oriented method is offered which facilitates the process of post flight data analysis. In the first part of the study, a common time period of flight is defined and critical flight parameters are selected to be analyzed. Then the similarities of the flight parameters in time series basis are calculated for each flight by using Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) method. In the second part, hierarchical clustering technique is applied to the aggregate data matrix which is comprised of all the flights to be studied in terms of similarities among chosen parameters. Consequently, proximity levels among flight phases are determined. In the final part, an algorithm is constructed to distinguish outliers from clusters and classify them as suspicious flights.

A Model based approach for aircraft sensor fault detection Serçekman, Ömür; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018) This thesis presents a reformative approach to a model-based fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) method that improves the capability of aircraft flight control systems and acquires low complexity and computational requirements. The main objective of the FDD techniques that are extensively applied in industrial systems is to increase the sensitivity of fault detection scheme with respect to additional noise, uncertainty or disturbances. The designed fault detection model is integrated to a civil aircraft mod...
Evaluation of rotorcraft system identification approaches Kaymak, Serkan; Tekinalp, Ozan; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013) This thesis addresses rotorcraft system identification approaches and estimating the stability and control parameters for linear system identification of a helicopter in hover. Output error and least square methods are used for the system identification. Inputs of the system identification analysis are obtained from the nonlinear helicopter model written in FLIGHTLAB commercial software environment. A linear helicopter model is used for identification. For validation, results obtained from identified helico...
Real-Time Monitoring of Cognitive Workload of Airline Pilots in a Flight Simulator with fNIR Optical Brain Imaging Technology Çakır, Murat Perit; Koc, Suleyman Ozgur; Toktas, Ahmet (2016-07-22) Real-time monitoring of the flight crew's health status with ambient and body sensors have become an important concern to improve the safety and the efficiency of flight operations. In this paper we report our preliminary findings on a functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIR) based online algorithm developed for real-time monitoring of mental workload of an airline pilot. We developed a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) based classifier that aims to predict low, moderate and high mental workload states...
