Aircraft fleet maintenance system

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processor via an interface, aircraft maintenance information, wherein the aircraft maintenance information comprises information associated with aircraft maintenance performed on a plurality of aircraft parts by a plurality of aircraft maintainers;
• receiving, by the processor from sensors onboard a rotorcraft, sensor data associated with the plurality of aircraft parts;
• assessing effectiveness of the aircraft maintenance based on the aircraft maintenance information and the sensor data, wherein assessing the effectiveness of the aircraft maintenance comprises:
• identifying, based on the sensor data, damage to one or more of the plurality of aircraft parts,
• determining, from the aircraft maintenance information, that the aircraft maintenance was performed based on a previously-provided maintenance instruction from a list of maintenance instructions, wherein the processor tracks electronic access to the list of maintenance instructions via the interface over time,
• responsive to identifying the damage, extracting, by the processor from the sensor data, a time at which the damage was indicated and a location on the rotorcraft corresponding to the damage and extracting, based on the processor tracking the electronic access, a time at which the maintenance task was performed and a location on the rotorcraft at which the maintenance task was performed,
• determining that the damage is maintenance-induced damage based on the processor automatically correlating the time at which the maintenance task was performed with the time at which the damage was indicated and automatically correlating the location on the rotorcraft at which the maintenance task was performed with the location on the rotorcraft corresponding to the damage;
• generating maintenance trend data based on the aircraft maintenance information and the effectiveness of the aircraft maintenance, wherein the maintenance trend data comprises an indication of one or more maintenance trends associated with the maintenance-induced damage and the aircraft maintenance performed by the plurality of aircraft maintainers;
• identifying one or more aircraft maintainers associated with the maintenance-induced damage, wherein the one or more aircraft maintainers are identified from the plurality of aircraft maintainers;
• generating a new maintenance instruction to replace the previously-provided maintenance instruction based on the indication of one or more maintenance trends associated with the maintenance-induced damage;
• reprioritizing the list of maintenance instructions by adding the new maintenance instruction within the list of maintenance instructions in place of the previously-provided maintenance instruction to generate a reprioritized version of the list of maintenance instructions, wherein the new maintenance instruction takes priority over others in the reprioritized version of the list of maintenance instructions;
• and
• providing, via the interface, the reprioritized version of the list of maintenance instructions to the one or more aircraft maintainers associated with the maintenance-induced damage.

A non-transitory machine readable medium having machine-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed on a processor of the machine, causes the machine to:

• obtain, via an interface, aircraft maintenance information, wherein the aircraft maintenance information comprises information associated with aircraft maintenance performed on a plurality of aircraft parts by a plurality of aircraft maintainers;
• receive, from sensors onboard a rotorcraft, sensor data associated with the plurality of aircraft parts;
• assess effectiveness of the aircraft maintenance based on the aircraft maintenance information and the sensor data, wherein assessing the effectiveness of the aircraft maintenance comprises:
• identifying, based on the sensor data, damage to one or more of the plurality of aircraft parts,
• determining, from the aircraft maintenance information, that the aircraft maintenance was performed based on a previously-provided maintenance instruction from a list of maintenance instructions, wherein the machine tracks electronic access to the list of maintenance instructions via the interface over time,
• responsive to identifying the damage, the machine extracts, from the sensor data, a time at which the damage was indicated and a location on the rotorcraft corresponding to the damage and the machine extracts, based on the tracking of the electronic access, a time at which the maintenance task was performed and a location on the rotorcraft at which the maintenance task was performed, and
• determining that the damage is maintenance-induced damage based on the processor automatically correlating the time at Which the maintenance task was performed with the time at which the damage was indicated and automatically correlating the location on the rotorcraft at which the maintenance task was performed with the location on the rotorcraft corresponding, to the damage;
• generate maintenance trend data based on the aircraft maintenance information and the effectiveness of the aircraft maintenance, wherein the maintenance trend data comprises an indication of one or more maintenance trends associated with the maintenance-induced damage and the aircraft maintenance performed by the plurality of aircraft maintainers;
• identify one or more aircraft maintainers associated with the maintenance-induced damage, wherein the one or more aircraft maintainers are identified from the plurality of aircraft maintainers;
• generate a new maintenance instruction to replace the previously-provided maintenance instruction based on the indication of one or more maintenance trends associated with the maintenance-induced damage;
• reprioritize the list of maintenance instructions by adding the new maintenance instruction within the list of maintenance instructions in place of the previously-provided maintenance instruction to generate a reprioritized version of the list of maintenance instructions, wherein the new maintenance instruction takes priority over others in the reprioritized version of the list of maintenance instructions;
• and
• provide, via the interface, the reprioritized version of the list of maintenance instructions to the one or more aircraft maintainers associated with the maintenance-induced damage.
