Abstract :
This paper describes a fault detection procedure based on the analysis of the properties of the residuals of an errors-in-variables model. This procedure has been applied to the detection of flaps servo actuator faults on a light sport aircraft. The results obtained on real data collected in actual flight conditions have shown that this kind of fault and even its magnitude can be reliably detected by means of the proposed procedure.
