System and method of documenting condition, repair, and overhaul of aircraft parts

A system of documenting condition, repair, or overhaul of aircraft parts, the system comprising:

• a database storing a search pool that includes a plurality of electronic files each comprising data of a different aircraft part, wherein the at least one identification number comprises a part number, a serial number, a tag number, an airplane manufacturer's serial number, or a combination thereof;
• at least one computing device including a processor and a memory for storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• searching the database for an electronic file of the plurality of electronic files of an aircraft part using at least one identification number;
• creating the electronic file of the aircraft part if the electronic file is not found on the database, wherein the at least one identification number is linked to the electronic file;
• receiving, by way of the computing system, a universal tracking number for the electronic file of the aircraft part;
• generating, using the computing system, the universal tracking number if the electronic file was not found, and linking the universal tracking number with the at least one identification number;
• generating a maintenance report data package, wherein the maintenance report data package is linked to the electronic file;
• entering, using the computing system, personal identifying data of a user generating the maintenance report data package, and linking, using the computing system, the personal identifying data to the maintenance report data package;
• entering, in response to and using the computing system, status identifying data of the aircraft part, and linking, using the computing system, the status identifying data to the maintenance report data package;
• capturing, using at least one capture device, wherein the at least one capture device comprises at least one of a camera and a microphone, aircraft part data comprising at least one of at least one picture, a video recording, and a voice recording;
• creating a filing name for each aircraft part data, wherein the filing name consists of the personal identifying data, the status identifying data, the universal tracking number, and data associated with the capture device;
• wherein the status identifying data is selected from the group consisting of a pre-removed status, a pre-shipped to vendor status, a vendor received status, a post repair status, a pre-shipped back status, an airline received status and a pre-placed back status;
• subsequently causing the processor to perform operations comprising:
• linking the filing name to the maintenance report data package;
• and
• saving an updated version of the electronic file to the database,
• whereby all data captured is placed in a pooled and networked database compiling current data files with historical datafile residing or located in one or more third-party servers.
