AIRCRAFT SYSTEM AND METHOD

Computer-implemented methods of predicting a tire gas temperature of an aircraft tire are disclosed. One method comprises: receiving (602) data of a plurality of measurements of temperature with associated times after a landing event, the data measured by a tire monitoring device affixed to an aircraft wheel; selecting (604) a temperature profile from a plurality of predetermined temperature profiles based on the received data, the plurality of temperature profiles representing heating and cooling under different conditions; and predicting (606) a future tire gas temperature based on the selected temperature profile and the received data. [0002] Another method comprises: receiving (1102) data of a plurality of measurements of temperature with associated times, the data measured by a tire monitoring device affixed to an aircraft wheel; determining (1104) a gradient of the temperature from the data; and predicting (1106) a future tire gas temperature using the gradient.
