Method and system of automatically informing an aircrew of a root cause of an alert for an aircraft

A vehicle, comprising:

• a display device to display alerts;
• and
• processor circuitry forming at least one processor arranged to operate by:
• generating an indication of an alert of an undesirable event associated with the vehicle;
• announcing the alert on the display device;
• automatically determining an immediate cause of the alert;
• automatically determining root cause mismatch data that indicates conditions that formed the immediate cause of the alert, wherein the mismatch data comprises a mismatch of vehicle data between data related to an expected action or inaction of the aircraft and data related to an actual action or inaction of the vehicle;
• and
• automatically announcing a message indicating the mismatch and on the display device of the vehicle.

A system, comprising:

• a vehicle, comprising:
• a display device to display alerts;
• and
• first processor circuitry forming at least one first processor arranged to operate by:
• generating an indication of an alert of an undesirable event associated with the vehicle,
• announcing the alert on the display device, and
• automatically transmitting the indication of the alert and basis data used to trigger the alert;
• and
• a remote system remote from the vehicle, comprising:
• memory;
• and
• second processor circuitry forming at least one second processor communicatively coupled to the memory, and being arranged to operate by:
• receiving the indication and the basis data;
• automatically determining root cause mismatch data that indicates conditions that formed an immediate cause of the alert and by using the alert and the basis data, wherein the mismatch data comprises a mismatch of vehicle data between data related to an expected action or inaction of the vehicle and data related to an actual action or inaction of the vehicle;
• and
• transmitting a message or message data to be used to generate the message and indicating the mismatch;
• and
• wherein the at least one first processor at the vehicle is arranged to operate by:
• receiving the message or message data;
• and
• displaying the message on the display device indicating the mismatch.
