Abstract: There is provided a method of starting a gas turbine engine, comprising: selecting a baseline starting procedure of the gas turbine engine based on environmental data; receiving condition information for the gas turbine engine and/or for a starting system of the gas turbine engine, the condition information comprising at least one of: health information for the gas turbine engine and/or the starting system; maintenance information for the gas turbine engine and/or the starting system; and operation information relating to an expected future usage of the gas turbine engine. The method further comprises determining a predicted degradation profile for the gas turbine engine and/or the starting system based on the condition information; determining a starting procedure of the gas turbine engine by adapting the baseline starting procedure based on the predicted degradation profile; and controlling the gas turbine engine and/or the starting system according to the determined starting procedure.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of monitoring a condition of a component of a gas turbine engine, comprising: obtaining, with a non-contact monitoring sensor, monitoring data, wherein a portion of the monitoring data relates to the condition of the component of the gas turbine engine; obtaining, using a position sensor, positional data relating to the component's position; communicating the monitoring data and the positional data to a processing module, and analysing, using the processing module, the monitoring data and positional data to determine the portion of the monitoring data which relates to the component and determine a condition of the component. Also described herein is a system for monitoring and a gas turbine engine comprising the system.
