System, method, and apparatus for scheduling aircraft maintenance events

摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for scheduling aircraft maintenance events. One system includes a user interface and at least one processor. The system is configured to receive an indication that an unscheduled maintenance event for an aircraft is to be scheduled, and to determine, using the at least one processor, a maintenance schedule for completing the unscheduled maintenance event on the aircraft, a modified flight schedule for the aircraft, and a modified aircraft schedule for the aircraft based on the unscheduled maintenance event, an initial flight schedule, an initial aircraft schedule, and at least one selectable parameter indicative of user preferences to reduce a total cost of operating the at least one aircraft. The system is configured to provide at least one of the maintenance schedule, the modified flight schedule, and the modified aircraft schedule to the user interface.

主权项

1. A method for scheduling at least one unscheduled maintenance event for at least one aircraft, comprising:
receiving, via at least one processor, an indication that the at least one unscheduled maintenance event for the at least one aircraft is to be scheduled; receiving, via the at least one processor, an initial flight schedule for the at least one aircraft; receiving, via the at least one processor, an initial aircraft schedule for the at least one aircraft; receiving, via the at least one processor, at least one selectable parameter indicative of user preferences; determining, via the at least one processor, a maintenance schedule for completing the at least one unscheduled maintenance event on the at least one aircraft, a modified flight schedule for the at least one aircraft, and a modified aircraft schedule for the at least one aircraft based on the at least one unscheduled maintenance event, the initial flight schedule, the initial aircraft schedule, and the at least one selectable parameter to reduce a total cost of operating the at least one aircraft; and providing the maintenance schedule for completing the at least one unscheduled maintenance event, the modified flight schedule for the at least one aircraft, and the modified aircraft schedule for the at least one aircraft to a user interface, wherein receiving the at least one selectable parameter comprises receiving at least one of a flight cancellation cost parameter, a flight delay cost parameter, a ferry flight cost parameter, a spare aircraft cost parameter, a flight diversion cost parameter, and a connection time parameter.
