Embodiment Construction

[0032] refer to figure 1 , which illustrates one embodiment of an aircraft maintenance system 10 . The aircraft maintenance system 10 includes an airline system 20 , a deferred maintenance device 30 and a data network 40 . The airline system 20 and the deferred maintenance device 30 communicate with each other via a data network.

[0033] In certain embodiments, data network 40 transmits digital communications between airline system 20 and deferred maintenance device 30 . The data network 40 may be a wireless network such as a wireless telephone network, a local wireless network such as a Wi-Fi network, Bluetooth network), etc. Similarly, data network 40 may include other wireless types of communications, such as optical communications (eg, lasers and infrared) and electromagnetically generated communications (eg, radio waves). In another embodiment, the data network 40 includes a wide area network (“WAN”), a storage area network (“SAN”), a local area network (“LAN”), a f...

Abstract

The invention relates to a deferred aircraft maintenance impact assessment apparatus, a system, and a method. Described herein is an apparatus that includes a minimum equipment list (MEL) data module and an impact assessment module. The MEL data module determines at least one operational limitation associated with deferred maintenance on a vehicle. The impact assessment module determines an operational impact associated with the deferred maintenance based on the at least one operational limitation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to maintenance of aircraft, and more specifically to assessing the operational impact of postponing maintenance of aircraft. Background technique [0002] A number of systems and methods exist for managing maintenance of aircraft. These systems may schedule routine scheduled maintenance events for the aircraft. Additionally, conventional maintenance management systems are able to adapt to undesired maintenance events occurring on the aircraft by coordinating maintenance resources on the ground to repair faults associated with the undesired maintenance events. [0003] However, airline systems usually have procedures in place to allow deferral of maintenance. For example, an operator of an airline system may choose to defer maintenance or stop the repair of a fault for various reasons, such as maximizing customer utility. A delay in maintenance is usually acceptable from a management standpoint when the delay ...
