SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE EVENTS AND MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

摘要

A computing device for use in detecting maintenance events and maintenance intervals is provided. The computing device is configured to receive aircraft usage data for at least one carrier, identify at least one potential maintenance event in the usage data, identify at least one actual maintenance event in the usage data at least by comparing the usage data for a first aircraft of the at least one carrier to a second aircraft of the at least one carrier during each potential maintenance event, determine an indicator used by each carrier for scheduling maintenance events, determine a maintenance interval for each carrier for an aircraft model associated with at least the first aircraft.

1. A computing device for use in detecting maintenance events and maintenance intervals, said computing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory, said computing device is configured to:
receive aircraft usage data for at least one carrier; identify at least one potential maintenance event in the usage data; identify at least one actual maintenance event in the usage data at least by comparing the usage data for a first aircraft of the at least one carrier to the usage data for a second aircraft of the at least one carrier during each potential maintenance event; determine, based at least in part on the usage data, that a decrease in usage of the first aircraft and the second aircraft is due to an exogenous event; store an indication in said memory that the decrease in usage is due to the exogenous event; determine an indicator used by each carrier for scheduling maintenance events; and determine a maintenance interval for each carrier for an aircraft model associated with at least the first aircraft.
