  • Reporting and prioritizing faults for aircraft downtime reduction
    Patent number: 10643187
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method for maintenance planning for an aircraft. The method includes retrieving, via a processor, a data transmission comprising a plurality of component faults from an aircraft processor while the aircraft is in flight. The processor executes, using a prediction engine, a predictive fault list based on the component faults. The predictive fault list includes a plurality of weighted predictions of authentic component faults and nuisance component faults. The processor prioritizes the weighted predictions of authentic component faults, and generates a maintenance checklist prioritized based on the weighted prediction of authentic component faults. The processor then outputs the prioritized maintenance checklist on an operatively connected maintenance planning device.
