Method, devices and program for computer-aided preventive diagnostics of an aircraft system, using critical event charts
First Claim
1. A method for the computer-aided preparation of a diagnostic report for a complex system of an aircraft comprising a plurality of subsystems, at least one subsystem of said plurality of subsystems comprising a subsystem configured for monitoring and notification of at least one detected event, the method comprising:
- implementing a critical event chart at least partially modelling said complex system, said critical event chart comprising a plurality of nodes, each node of said plurality of nodes being linked by a logical implication relation to at least one other node of said plurality of nodes, said plurality of nodes comprising;
a plurality of nodes each representing a notification message capable of being received;
at least one node representing a critical event; and
,a plurality of nodes each representing an element of said complex system, each element represented by a node being liable to failure;
receiving at least one notification message of the occurrence of said at least one detected event;
creating a minimal diagnostic set relative to said at least one detected event, comprising a plurality of elements each represented by a node of said critical event chart, each element of said minimal diagnostic set being determined according to at least one logical implication relation of said critical event chart with a node representing said at least one received notification message; and
ranking at least some of said elements of said minimal diagnostic set, said ranked elements forming part of said diagnostic report.

Abstract
Aided preventive diagnostics of an aircraft system, comprising a plurality of subsystems at least one of which comprises a subsystem configured for monitoring and notifying a detected event, using critical event charts. After receiving a message notifying the occurrence of said detected event, a minimal diagnostic set relative to said at least one detected event, comprising a plurality of elements each represented by a node of said critical event chart is created, each element of said minimal diagnostic set being determined according to at least one logical implication relation of said critical event chart with a node representing said at least one received notification message. At least some of the elements of said minimal diagnostic set are then ranked, said ranked elements forming part of said diagnostic report.
