The systems/methods analyze the vast reservoir of data that is collected in-flight during a commercial aircraft's travels over several months. That data is analyzed to identify and remove data points that do not represent stable cruise. This may be achieved in multiple steps to manage the extremely large data sets. The data points, now representing stable cruise, are further analyzed to identify control surfaces that are out-of-tolerance (i.e., mis-rigged). That information is subsequently utilized to re-rig the identified mis-rigged control surfaces which, in turn, results in increased aircraft fuel efficiencies.
