  • Patent number: 6442459
    Abstract: The present invention is a system for enabling an operator to dynamically manage maintenance of an aircraft. The system includes a program manager system, a tracking manager system and a production manager system. The program manager system is for extracting maintenance tasks from aircraft maintenance publications, and for guiding the formation of maintenance tasks groups. The tracking manager system is for monitoring accumulated usage data of the aircraft, and for identifying maintenance due tasks and maintenance due task groups from the respective maintenance tasks and maintenance task groups for which a difference between the control point and the accumulated usage data is less than a user-defined critical value. The production manager system is for generating and implementing a dynamic maintenance flow chart which details scheduling data for each individual task of the maintenance due tasks and maintenance due task groups.

  • Patent number: 6418361
    Abstract: An aircraft maintenance tracking system for tracking aircraft maintenance required on an aircraft includes means for tracking accumulated usage data of the aircraft, means for receiving a list of routine tasks required to be performed on the aircraft, means for tracking task accomplishment data for each routine task, means for determining a maintenance due point for each routine task, means for identifying maintenance due tasks as those routine tasks for which a difference between the maintenance due point of the routine task and the accumulated usage data of the aircraft is less than a user-defined critical value, and means for reporting maintenance due tasks.

  • Publication number: 20010032114
    Abstract: A system for managing an aircraft maintenance program for an aircraft operated by an operator includes means for extracting maintenance tasks for the aircraft from at least one aircraft maintenance document, means for sorting the maintenance tasks into initial maintenance task groups having common control points, and means for guiding the airline operator to organize the maintenance tasks and initial maintenance task groups into a plurality of maintenance task groups.

  • Publication number: 20010032103
    Abstract: A system for recording and analyzing reliability data for an aircraft during a dynamically-planned maintenance check of the aircraft includes means for obtaining and logging warranty-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of any routine or non-routine tasks that may exist, and which pertain to rotable parts of the aircraft; means for obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of any non-routine tasks that may exist; means for identifying for each non-routine task, a routine task whose performance resulted in the generation of the non-routine task; means for obtaining and logging maintenance program-based reliability data from maintenance records generated during the performance of any identified routine tasks that may exist; and means for analyzing and reporting the warranty-based reliability data and the maintenance program-based reliability data.

  • Publication number: 20010032110
    Abstract: A dynamic aircraft maintenance production system for planning a maintenance check of an aircraft includes means for obtaining any routine tasks that may exist and which are required to be performed on the aircraft, means for obtaining any non-routine tasks that may exist and which are required to be performed on the aircraft, means for generating a maintenance flow chart detailing scheduling data for each of the routine and non-routine tasks, means for assigning a user-determined number of the routine and non-routine tasks to personnel for completion, means for maintenance activity data on each assigned routine task and non-routine task, means for available resource data, and means for updating the maintenance flow chart to reflect newly-obtained maintenance activity data and available resource data.
