Abstract
An aircraft-based system and method for automated reporting and logging of aircraft maintenance events receives flight deck effects (FDEs) with correlated maintenance messages indicating maintenance statuses (e.g., faults and/or failures) and/or Air Transport Association (ATA) classifications for each reporting aircraft system, subsystem or component. The logging system generates event messages based on each received FDE, predicting additional information based on the correlated maintenance message such as recommended maintenance actions, replacement parts or components, and/or Minimum Equipment List (MEL) actions associated with a component fault or failure. Event messages are automatically transmitted via datalink to ground-based maintenance and dispatch. Further, event messages are automatically logged to an aircraft maintenance log.
