METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MONITORING THE OPERATION OF A PAIR OF TURBOPROP ENGINES THROUGH THE NUMERICAL PROCESSING OF AN ACOUSTIC MAGNITUDE

Method for monitoring the operation of a pair of turboprop engines of an aircraft comprising the steps of: detecting the sound pressure generated by the first or second turboprop engine (4) generating a respective first or second signal x(t); iteratively calculating by means of a function Rx/Ry the similarity between the first/second signal x(t)/y(t) at a time T1 and at a time T2 subsequent to time T1; and storing the degrees of similarity calculated in successive iterations in order to detect situations of normal operation of the engines when the degrees of similarity fall in successive iterations within the interval of a first value and to detect a potential fault situation in the engines when the degrees of similarity depart from this interval.
