Zusammenfassung:	A method is provided for diagnosing a failure on an aircraft that includes aircraft systems and monitors configured to report effects of failure modes of the aircraft systems. The method includes receiving a fault report that indicates one or more of the monitors that reported the effects of a failure mode in an aircraft system of the aircraft systems, and accessing a fault pattern library that describes relationships between possible failure modes and patterns of those of the monitors configured to report the effects of the possible failure modes. The method also includes diagnosing the failure mode of the aircraft system from the one or more of the monitors that reported, and using the fault pattern library and a greedy selection algorithm, determining a maintenance action for the failure mode; and generating a maintenance message including at least the maintenance action.
