Abstract
A system for managing an aircraft maintenance program for an aircraft operated by an operator includes means for extracting maintenance tasks for the aircraft from at least one aircraft maintenance document, means for sorting the maintenance tasks into initial maintenance task groups having common control points, and means for guiding the airline operator to organize the maintenance tasks and initial maintenance task groups into a plurality of maintenance task groups.
Claims20
A method for managing an aircraft maintenance program for an aircraft operated by an operator, the method comprising:
- extracting maintenance tasks for the aircraft from at least one aircraft maintenance document, each maintenance task having a control point which specifies an interval at which the maintenance task is to be performed;
- sorting the maintenance tasks into initial maintenance task groups having common control points;
- guiding the airline operator to organize the maintenance tasks and initial maintenance task groups into a plurality of maintenance task groups;
- and
- guiding the airline operator in assigning user-specified control points for each of the plurality of maintenance task groups.
The method of claim 7 wherein the communication medium is a digital communications network.
A system for managing an aircraft maintenance program for an aircraft operated by an operator, the system comprising:
- means for extracting maintenance tasks for the aircraft from at least one aircraft maintenance document, each maintenance task having a control point which specifies an interval at which the maintenance task is to be performed;
- means for sorting the maintenance tasks into initial maintenance task groups having common control points;
- and
- means for guiding the airline operator to organize the maintenance tasks and initial maintenance task groups into a plurality of maintenance task groups, each of the plurality of maintenance task groups having a user-assigned control point.
A system for managing an aircraft maintenance program for a fleet of aircraft owned by an operator, the system comprising:
- means for extracting maintenance tasks for each type of aircraft from at least one aircraft maintenance document, each maintenance task having a control point which specifies an interval at which the maintenance task is to be performed;
- means for sorting, for each aircraft type, the maintenance tasks into initial maintenance task groups having common control points;
- and
- means for guiding the airline operator to organize, for each aircraft type, the maintenance tasks and initial maintenance task groups into a plurality of maintenance task groups, each of the plurality of maintenance task groups having a user-assigned control point.
