Abstract:
A method and system for alerting a pilot to a potential unanticipated LTE with simple intuitive symbology on the cockpit display is provided. The provided method and system evaluates rotorcraft airspeed, wind velocity, wind direction, and rotorcraft height above ground to predict several scenarios for LTE zones. The provided method and system overlays or superimposes simple intuitive symbology on the existing PFD and/or MFD to alert a pilot to a potential LTE.
Abstract:
A processor-implemented method for automatically creating aircraft maintenance records and work logs during aircraft maintenance operations is disclosed. The method comprises retrieving, using a processor, fault data, testing data, maintenance data, and status data regarding line replaceable units (LRUs) on an aircraft via a central maintenance computer (CMC) on the aircraft; automatically collecting from a remote terminal on the aircraft data regarding maintenance operations performed using the remote terminal; automatically recording, by the processor, in a maintenance database the fault data, testing data, maintenance data, status data, and data regarding maintenance operations performed using the remote terminal; and automatically populating, by the processor using data in the maintenance database, information in a plurality of fields in a maintenance work log.

Abstract:
A method in a peer-to-peer network for recording maintenance data is provided. The method comprises receiving troubleshooting summary secured data (TSSD) from a plurality of sources; entering the TSSD from the plurality of sources using a Blockchain framework, wherein TSSD from a source is entered as a unique transaction in the Blockchain framework when a set of smart maintenance keys possessed by the source authorizes the entry of the TSSD; providing a first level of controlled access to a first subset of entered TSSD to an entity possessing a first level controlled access set of keys; providing a second level of controlled access to a second subset of the entered TSSD to an entity possessing a second level controlled access set of keys; and providing a third level of controlled access to all of the entered TSSD to an entity possessing a third level controlled access set of keys.

Abstract:
Systems and methods of warning a pilot of a helicopter about a servo transparency condition include devices and steps for retrieving, from a design performance database, a plurality of design performance parameters of the helicopter, and receiving avionics data from an avionics data source, the avionics data representative of a plurality of actual performance parameters of the helicopter. The design performance parameters and the avionics data are processed to determine whether one or more of the actual performance parameters exceed the design performance parameters, thereby indicating a servo transparency condition exists. One or more alerts are generated when the servo transparency condition exists.
