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.
