AIRCRAFT ENGINE MAINTENANCE TESTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011869 titled 'AIRCRAFT ENGINE MAINTENANCE TESTING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for aircraft engine maintenance testing using a full authority digital engine control (FADEC). The method involves the aircraft maintenance computer causing the FADEC to enter a test mode and loading a script defining a specific maintenance test sequence. The FADEC then performs the test sequence and implements corrective action if a defect is detected.

  • The method involves using a computer to control the FADEC for testing aircraft engine maintenance.
  • A script is loaded into the FADEC to define a specific test sequence.
  • The FADEC performs the test sequence to identify any defects.
  • Corrective action is implemented by the FADEC if a defect is detected.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Aircraft engine maintenance and testing
  • Improving the efficiency and accuracy of maintenance procedures

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Streamlining the process of testing and identifying defects in aircraft engines
  • Reducing the time and effort required for maintenance testing

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased reliability and safety of aircraft engines through effective maintenance testing
  • Cost savings by identifying and addressing defects before they lead to major issues or failures


Original Abstract Submitted

examples described herein provide a method for aircraft engine maintenance testing for an engine of an aircraft. the method includes causing, by an aircraft maintenance computer, a full authority digital engine control to enter a test mode. the method further includes loading, via the aircraft maintenance computer, a script to the full authority digital engine control, the script defining a specific maintenance test sequence. the method further includes performing, by the full authority digital engine control, the specific maintenance test sequence. the method further includes implementing a corrective action to correct a defect detected by the specific maintenance test sequence.
