A maintenance system and a method for management of a maintenance routine for an aircraft 14 with a maintenance system comprises multiple communication terminals 40 located physically about the aircraft and in data communication with each other. A maintenance software program for a maintenance routine comprises maintenance tests corresponding to components 20 of the aircraft. The program defines an ultimate user, which could be the pilot of the aircraft. The program assigns maintenance tests to a communication terminal which then displays a maintenance test indication. The ultimate user may override the assignment of the maintenance test or end the maintenance routine before completion of the maintenance test. The ultimate user can be defined based on a hierarchy of multiple users or by location or identity of the user. The program can be executed by a controller 26. The communication terminals can be an internal terminal 42 or external, mobile terminals 44, such as laptops or PDAs or tablets. The present invention allows the ultimate user, such as the pilot, to reassign maintenance tests, perhaps to themselves, or mark a maintenance routine complete if they do not wish to wait for the maintenance routine to finish. |
