Abstract: An aircraft maintenance tracking system
for tracking aircraft maintenance required on an aircraft
includes means for tracking accumulated usage data of
the aircraft, means for receiving a list of routine tasks

Title: Dynamic
Aircraft Maintenance Management System
Patent No: US 6,442,459 B1
Date of Patent: August 27, 2002
Abstract: The present invention is a system for
enabling an operator to dynamically manage maintenance
of an aircraft. The system includes a program manager
system, a tracking manager system and a production manager
system. The program manager system is for extracting
maintenance tasks from aircraft maintenance publications,
and for guiding the formation of maintenance task groups.
The tracking manager system is for monitoring accumulated
usage data of the aircraft, and for identifying maintenance
due tasks and maintenance due task groups from the respective
maintenance tasks and maintenance task groups for which
a difference between the control point and the accumulated
usage data is less than a user-defined critical value.
The production manager system is for generating and implementing
a dynamic maintenance flow chart which details scheduling
data for each individual task of the maintenance due tasks
and maintenance due task groups. |

Title:
Dynamic Aircraft
Maintenance Production System
Patent No: US 6,671,593 B2
Date of Patent: Dec 30, 2003
Abstract: A dynamic aircraft maintenance production
system for planning a maintenance check of an aircraft
includes means for obtaining any routine tasks that
may exist and which are required to be performed on
the aircraft, means for obtaining any non-routine tasks
that may exist and which are required to be performed
on the aircraft, means for generating a maintenance
flow chart detailing scheduling data for each of the
routine and non-routine tasks, means for assigning a
user-determined number of the routine and non-routine
tasks to personnel for completion, means for maintenance
activity data on each assigned routine task and non-routine
task, means for available resource data, and means for
updating the maintenance flow chart to reflect newly-obtained
maintenance activity date and available resource data. |
