  • Predicting a repair and maintenance activity for an aircraft system
    Patent number: 11816935
    Abstract: Predicting a future needed repair and/or maintenance activity for an aircraft system such as a cabin air compressor detects a fault signal from the aircraft system, the fault signal being indicative of a fault in the aircraft system. The fault signal is logged into a machine learning computer system. A root cause of a fault signal is determined and the root cause of the fault signal is logged into the computer system. A repair of the root cause of the fault signal is determined and the repair of the root cause of the fault signal is logged into the computer system. The root cause of the fault signal and the repair of the root cause of the fault signal are merged, creating a classification of a future fault signal, a future root cause of the future fault signal and future repair of the future root cause.
