Disclosed herein is a method that comprises detecting that a rate of decrease in fuel quantity for an aircraft exceeds a previously-determined baseline rate of decrease in fuel quantity for the aircraft by a threshold rate during a corresponding segment of flight of the aircraft. The method also comprises determining that a fuel jettison setting for the aircraft is enabled in response to the detected increase in the rate of decrease in fuel quantity. The method further comprises determining that an angle of one or more flaps of the aircraft satisfies a threshold angle. The method additionally comprises generating an alert indicating possible fuel contamination of the one or more flaps due to jettisoned fuel.
