Abstract
A method and apparatus for maintaining a vehicle, such as an aircraft. A plurality of maintenance messages generated during operation of the vehicle are stored to form a plurality of stored maintenance messages. The stored maintenance messages are filtered to remove from the stored maintenance messages those maintenance messages that are correlated to minimum equipment list actions to form filtered stored maintenance messages. A predicted maintenance message is generated from the filtered stored maintenance messages by applying a machine learning algorithm to the filtered stored maintenance messages. The predicted maintenance message may be used to perform a maintenance operation on the vehicle.
