A requirement capture device for a centralized maintenance system for aircraft is composed of a means for capturing and parametrizing the various characteristics of the centralized maintenance system. It allows the various parties to the fine tuning of the CMS system to define the data set specific to their domain in a common framework. User profiles are defined for each of the users affording them configuration possibilities specific to their domain. After validation of the parameters input, a configuration file is generated.

Method and device for requirement capture for a system for centralized maintenance for aircraft

A centralized maintenance device installed on-board an aircraft notably carries out the following functions: correlation of data relating to failures, warnings, configurations, operational contexts, flags and the logbook, received by the on-board maintenance system; storage of the data received by the on-board maintenance system in a first database; management of a historical record of the data received and of their correlation; transmission to a man-machine interface of the data received, of their correlation and of a date associated with each item of data; display of the received data, their correlation and the date associated with each item of data, by a man-machine interface of the on-board maintenance system.

Centralized maintenance device for aircraft

The subject of the invention is a device for managing equipment maintenance. It relates to a device for managing maintenance of a number N of items of equipment EQi built into a system, i designating an index identifying the item of equipment EQi and lying between 1 and N, the system furthermore comprising a main computer RC, the equipment EQexchanging data with the main computer RC through a communication network, the equipment EQbeing capable of being built into the system or of being removed from the system, each item of equipment EQbeing protected by a protective housing BP, the communication node Noccupying a position internal to the housing BPand being devised to exchange data with the radio tag ET, the radio tag ETbeing fixed securely to the housing BPand being devised to deliver data through a contactless link.

Device and method for managing equipment maintenance

A centralized maintenance system for aircraft which includes line replacement units (LRUs). The system includes at least one digital database whose data are information relating to the LRUs; and a device for updating the data of the database. The lifetime information for the LRUs is known and contained in the digital database. The database includes a mean time between failure (MTBF) data of each LRU. The MTBF data is able to be modified and updated, according to at least one event modifying the failure probabilities for at least one LRU.
