A system and method are provided for providing user-configurable aircraft status displays by which aircraft fleet operations and maintenance personnel may be easily able to monitor the operational fleets under their control to quickly determine a flight status of a particular asset based on a condition represented by one or more displayed attributes. A particular display scheme is provided by which individual users can configure those elements of all source data that they may choose to track in a format that allows for ready identification of a status of any of the particular elements or attributes under observation. A 'dashboard-type' display of individual aircraft, and elements of data regarding those individual aircraft, for particular attributes to be monitored by the individual user from available messaging regarding aircraft and aircraft system status.

A system and method are provided for form auto-completion. The disclosed schemes access dynamically changing data relating to particular events assets from a plurality of data sources. The data is parsed, tagged, re-formatted and inserted into data fields in one or more automated form templates. The disclosed schemes accept user input regarding a particular form to be completed with information pertaining to an identified event or asset. A format for the data to be included in a particular data field in the form is resolved and the data is presented in a form appropriate to populating the particular data field. The automated form is then dispatched to a group of known recipients that it is appropriate to inform regarding details of the event or operation of the asset.

Auto-complete for operational message forms

A system and method are provided for tracking access. At least one passive wireless identification device is provided at a personnel access point. Communication is established between a mobile device and the at least one passive wireless identification device when the mobile device passes the personnel access point. Occurrences of the established communication between the mobile device and the at least one passive wireless identification device are separately communicated to a remote data collection device. The occurrences of the established communication between the mobile device and the at least one passive wireless identification device are recorded in the remote data collection device. Data based on the recorded occurrences of the established communication between the mobile device and the at least one passive wireless identification device is output from the remote data collection device.

Tracking personnel access to aircraft on the ground

A system and method are provided for integrating live flight following information provided as Trusted Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data with stored planned flight and other information, and for, in part, comparatively analyzing the data/information to generate automated alerts to one or more end-users when an aircraft is determined to deviate from a planned flight route by a predetermined degree, as specified by adjustable set parameters. Broadcast ADS-B data transmitted by participating aircraft is collected and communicated via a secure, trusted and dependable worldwide network for analysis in a centralized location. The analysis involves, in part, comparing the ADS-B data to other information provided to, or collected by, the centralized location from multiple sources regarding planned routes of flight for participating aircraft and other available information relevant to aircraft operations in particular geographic locations. Alerts regarding identified discrepancies or deviations are generated and communicated to stakeholders.
