1. A component life prediction system configured to predict a remaining life of a consumable component installed on an aircraft, the system comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive wear information indicative of a current wear state of the consumable component;
receive schedule information indicative of a future flight schedule for the aircraft; wherein the future flight schedule includes a plurality of future flight cycles of the aircraft and the schedule information includes a departure airport and an arrival airport for each of the future flight cycles, and
determine the remaining life of the consumable component based on the received wear information and the received schedule information.
