1. A method for checking a level of damage of at least one part of an aircraft to customize maintenance operations of the aircraft depending on usage of the at least one aircraft part and reduce a maintenance frequency of the aircraft,
wherein the method comprises at least:
collecting, during a flight of the aircraft, data representative of measurements of at least one flight parameter chosen from the group comprising a position, a travel speed, an acceleration, and an environmental parameter of the aircraft, the data being generated during the flight of the aircraft by at least one sensor embedded on the aircraft, each piece of the data corresponding to an entry point representative of the at least one flight parameter in a multidimensional space;
projecting, according to a determined process, each entry point of the multidimensional space onto a previously constructed map in order to form a respective image point, the map comprising at least two separate zones defined by closed contour lines, each zone of the at least two separate zones being representative of a flight phase of the aircraft chosen from the group comprising an approach phase, a landing phase, a hovering flight phase, a low-speed maneuvering phase, a take-off phase, a descent phase, a climbing phase, a ground phase, a turning phase, a level flight phase, a fixed-point turning phase, a recovery phase, a taxiing phase and a transition phase;
identifying, for each respective image point, an image zone from the at least two separate zones in which the image point is located;
analyzing for quantifying, for the at least one aircraft part and for the flight phase, the level of damage of the at least one aircraft part corresponding to a product of a predetermined coefficient associated with the flight phase multiplied by a total duration of use of the at least one aircraft part for the flight phase, the total duration of use of the at least one aircraft part for the flight phase being a sum of all durations of use of the at least one aircraft part carried out for the flight phase during flights of the aircraft, the flight phase corresponding to the image zone identified from the at least two separate zones; and
wherein the level of damage of the at least one aircraft part exceeding a predetermined threshold value is determined from the quantifying; and
with at least one information member, in response to determining the level of damage of the at least one aircraft part has exceeded the predetermined threshold value, informing an operator via an audible, visual, and/or vibratory information signal that the level of damage of the at least one aircraft part has exceeded the predetermined threshold value; and
scheduling a maintenance operation of the aircraft in response to determining the level of damage of the least one aircraft part has exceeded the predetermined threshold value.
