Abstract

A status information management system correlates checklist data from all stored checklists to create a holistic, function level representation of aircraft health. Components are associated with defined function level categories. When a component fault is detected, the contextual information management system identifies each function level category that includes that component, and flags that function level category as having a fault. Such flags may be represented on a display where each function level category is displayed. A flight crew member selecting the function level category may see all systems impacted by the component fault. When selecting a function level category, the information management system may render a graphical depiction of the aircraft and the systems included in the function level category. The component fault may be depicted along with an impact criticality to the rendered systems.
