  • Publication number: 20210276727
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a computer, and via a communication interface of an aircraft, current configuration information associated with the aircraft. The aircraft includes application logic configured to monitor a state associated with each of a plurality of components of the aircraft and to generate the current configuration information. The method includes locating a particular maintenance task record that specifies configuration requirements that match the current configuration information of the aircraft. The configuration requirements specify components of the aircraft and the state within which each of the components should be in to facilitate the performance of a maintenance task associated with the particular maintenance task record. Task information associated with the maintenance task record can be communicated to a maintenance terminal. The task information specifies the configuration requirements and the state of the one or more components specified in the configuration requirements.

  • Patent number: 10140788
    Abstract: A system of one or more processors for creating an engineering order for aircraft from a published, electronic service bulletin is disclosed. The system may include an interface, a database, and an engineering order (EO) module in operative communication with the interface and the database. The EO module may be configured to receive service bulletin data from the interface, access the database, and filter out a plurality of aircraft from the aircraft fleet information in the database based on the service bulletin data. The EO module may be further configured to receive a service bulletin configuration status for the aircraft, and divide the plurality of aircraft into different groups of aircraft based on the service bulletin configuration status for the aircraft. The EO module may be further configured to extract service bulletin data that is applicable to the different groups of aircraft, and generate an engineering order.
