Abstract
Embodiments are directed to receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, at least one control input associated with an aircraft, obtaining, by the computing device, a predicted response to the at least one control input by filtering on a trim position, wherein the predicted response is based on a model of the aircraft, obtaining, by the computing device, an actual response of the aircraft to the at least one control input, comparing, by the computing device, the predicted response and the actual response, and determining, by the computing device, at least one attribute based on the comparison.
