SYSTEM FOR MAINTAINING AN AIRCRAFT TURBINE ENGINE
First Claim
1. System for maintenance of a turbine engine of an aircraft comprising:
- a turbine engine further comprising;
an oil reservoir;
a sensor able to measure an oil level in the oil reservoir; and
a transmitter configured for transmitting a signal coupled to said sensor in order to transmit information relating to an oil level measured by said sensor;
wherein said turbine engine comprises communication means, coupled to said transmitter, for communicating to the outside of the aircraft information representing an oil level measured by said sensor; and
wherein said maintenance system comprises a mobile apparatus able to communicate with said communication means and comprising a display configured for displaying said information representing an oil level communicated by said communication means to an operator situated on the ground outside the aircraft.

Abstract
System for maintaining a turbine engine comprising said turbine engine of an aircraft comprising: an oil reservoir, a sensor able to measure an oil level in the oil reservoir, a transmission device, such as electrical wires, wireless transmitter circuit, etc., for transmitting a signal coupled to said sensor in order to transmit information relating to an oil level measured by said sensor, communication means, such as a display or a near field communications circuit coupled to said transmission devices, for communicating to the outside of the aircraft information representing an oil level measured by said sensor. The maintenance system further comprises a mobile apparatus able to communicate with said communication means and comprising a display for displaying said information representing an oil level to an operator situated on the ground outside the aircraft.

12. Method for maintaining a turbine engine of an aircraft on the ground and comprising:
-
providing a turbine engine further comprising; an oil reservoir; a sensor able to measure an oil level in the oil reservoir; a transmitter for transmitting a signal coupled to said sensor in order to transmit information relating to an oil level measured by said sensor; and communication means, coupled to said transmitter, for communicating to the outside of the aircraft information representing an oil level measured by said sensor; providing, in the vicinity of said turbine engine, a mobile apparatus able to communicate with said communication means and comprising a display for displaying information representing an oil level communicated by said communication means; reading, outside the aircraft, said information communicated by the communication means by viewing a display on said mobile apparatus; and deducing a fill level of said oil reservoir from said reading. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
