System and method for automated logging and reporting of aircraft maintenance events

A computer-assisted method for automated reporting and logging of aircraft maintenance events, the method comprising:

• receiving, via an aircraft-based logging system, at least one flight deck effect (FDE) from one or more of a component or a sensor of an aircraft, the FDE triggered by a maintenance event corresponding to at least one of an engine of the aircraft, a system of the aircraft, or the component;
• wherein the FDE includes a correlated maintenance message comprising one or more of an identification or a maintenance status of the engine, system, or component;
• predicting, via the logging system, at least one maintenance action based on the maintenance status;
• generating, via the logging system, at least one event message based on the correlated maintenance message, the at least one event message including at least one of the identification, the engine, system, or component, the maintenance status, and the predicted maintenance action;
• transmitting, via an aircraft-based data link system operatively coupled to the logging system, the at least one event message to one or more of a ground-based maintenance facility or a ground-based dispatch facility;
• and
• adding, via the logging system, the at least one event message to a maintenance log of the aircraft.
