In this paper, the first steps towards a comprehensive CBM framework for the horizontal tail (HT) actuator of an Advanced Jet Trainer Aircraft are presented. After a thorough analysis of design documents and operational procedures, the most significant data have been identified, leading to the identification of possible PHM strategies for the specific sub-system. The paper will cover the preliminary framework in which the system will be developed.
