An aircraft atmospheric contamination determination system has a computing arrangement operable to access a database of atmospheric contamination data as a function of location and time, and to receive flight data relating to a target aircraft from an input interface. The computing arrangement executes a predictive aircraft health model to (i) determine a contaminant exposure measure for the target aircraft by retrieving atmospheric contaminant data at a location and a time in proximity to at least one flight of the target aircraft and (ii) derive at least one predicted aircraft health parameter for the target aircraft based upon at least the target aircraft flight history and contaminant data as a function of location and time. Preferably, the computing arrangement provides an alert or schedules a maintenance intervention based on the health parameter. The health parameter may be indicative of engine health or remaining useful life. The model may be trained by machine learning and may also provide estimates of future contamination exposure of the target aircraft.
