A system for identifying timeframes for borescope inspections for a gas turbine engine, having: monitoring systems monitor engine conditions, derive engine condition information and communicate such information to processors; feature interpreter module electronically communicates (i) with processors to process engine condition information, and (ii) feature interpreter information to processors, such information defines a probability of a FOD event; accumulator module electronically communicates (i) with processors to processes feature interpreter information, stored information since a last borescope inspection, and (ii) accumulator information to processors, such information defines an accumulated probability of a FOD event; and predictor and inspection planner module electronically communicates (i) with processors to processes accumulator information and stored information defines a threshold limits for a probability of a FOD event, and (ii) predictor and inspection planner information to processors, such information identifies a timeframe for a next borescope inspections predicted to occur before a FOD event.
