Methods and Systems for Performing Maintenance on an Aircraft

An example method of performing maintenance on an aircraft includes receiving a vehicle data-signature-map of an interior of an aircraft for at least one parameter of the aircraft, and the vehicle data-signature-map is based on sensor outputs received from sensors of mobile devices positioned at loc...

Zusammenfassung:	An example method of performing maintenance on an aircraft includes receiving a vehicle data-signature-map of an interior of an aircraft for at least one parameter of the aircraft, and the vehicle data-signature-map is based on sensor outputs received from sensors of mobile devices positioned at locations in the interior of the aircraft. The method also includes comparing the vehicle data-signature-map with a previous vehicle data-signature-map, based on differences of the vehicle data-signature-map as compared to the previous vehicle data-signature-map making a determination for maintenance, and generating and outputting a recommendation for inspection of an identified portion of the aircraft based on the distribution of the at least one parameter in the vehicle data-signature-map for the identified portion of the aircraft being substantially different than the distribution of the at least one parameter in the vehicle data-signature-map for other portions of the aircraft to assist with the maintenance of the aircraft.
