1. A method for performing a simulation on an aircraft, comprising:

  • receiving, at an onboard maintenance computer (OMC) a simulation script for the simulation of a member system under test (MSUT) when the aircraft is not-in-flight that includes one or more steps for adjusting at least one parameter of the aircraft wherein the adjusting is performed on an aircraft during a not-in-flight maintenance;

    selectively processing the simulation script to determine simulation data for the MSUT, wherein the selectively processing is performed by at least one of the OMC and one or more signal producer member systems of a plurality of member systems based on a rank of a level of criticality of the at least one of the OMC and the one or more signal producer member systems wherein the MSUT comprises at least a remaining member system from the plurality of member systems and not of the signal producer member systems in order to confirm a proper operation of the MSUT, the selectively processing further comprising;

    entering by the MSUT a test mode when a set of preconditions indicates a test may be entered,checking a status code returned from the MSUT,returning a denied status when the status code indicates not approved and displaying constraints associated with the status code wherein the test and the simulation is deemed to not occur, andreturning an approved status when the status code indicates approval wherein the test is deemed should occur; and

    processing the simulation data by the one or more signal producer member systems of the aircraft based on the selectively processing to adjust the at least one parameter of the aircraft.
