Abstract

A method is proposed for monitoring the performance of an aircraft door closure control system. The door is equipped with a plurality of proximity sensors that measure distance values ​​(from which logical values ​​are obtained and used to control the door's closure state based on a logical combination of logical values ​​with logical operators). The method comprises: obtaining (801) the distance values; calculating (803) a value for a performance indicator of the door closure control system, based on a combination of mathematical functions that take the distance values ​​and are a transposition of the logical combination in which each type of logical operator is replaced by a specific mathematical function; and triggering (805, 807) an alert if a condition (804, 806), a function of the indicator value, is met.
