Abstract
A method for completing a flight checklist for an aircraft is provided. The method obtains, by one or more location sensors, location information for a user; generates a tagged user location, based on the location information; determines that a checklist item is incomplete, based on the tagged user location, wherein the flight checklist comprises the checklist item, and wherein the checklist item is associated with a maintenance inspection for the aircraft; and when the checklist item is incomplete, presenting an alert via a display device.
Claims20
A method for completing a flight checklist for an aircraft, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by one or more location sensors, location information for a user;
- generating a tagged user location, based on the location information;
- determining that a checklist item is incomplete, based on the tagged user location, wherein the flight checklist comprises the checklist item, and wherein the checklist item is associated with a maintenance inspection for the aircraft;
- and
- when the checklist item is incomplete, presenting an alert via a display device.
A system for completing a flight checklist for an aircraft, the system comprising:
- a system memory element;
- location information sensors, configured to obtain location information for a user;
- a display device, configured to present an alert;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the system memory element, the location information sensors, and the display device, the at least one processor configured to:
- tag the location information, to generate a tagged user location;
- determine that a checklist item is incomplete, based on the tagged user location, wherein the flight checklist comprises the checklist item, and wherein the checklist item is associated with a maintenance inspection for the aircraft;
- and
- initiate presentation of the alert, via the display device, to indicate that the checklist item is incomplete.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium containing instructions thereon, which, when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:
- identifying incomplete maintenance inspection items for an aircraft, based on a location history for a user and locations for maintenance inspection items of a flight checklist, wherein the maintenance inspection items comprise the incomplete maintenance inspection items;
- and
- presenting, via a display device, alerts for each of the incomplete maintenance inspection items.
