1. A method for creating a maintenance release (MR) record containing operational status information for a mobile platform, the method comprising:
- using a processor to run an electronic log book (ELB) system located on-board the mobile platform to electronically access a first database of a database system, the first database being located on-board the mobile platform, and also to access at least one second database of the database system, where the at least one second database is located remote from the mobile platform, to acquire operational items relating to operational worthiness of the mobile platform;
using a display system to display the acquired operational items to the user; and
using the processor of the ELB system to perform performing a synchronization check of the database system to verify that the acquired operational items from both of the first database and the at least one second database represent the most recently stored information in the database system.

Abstract
A method for creating a maintenance release (MR) record containing operational status information for a mobile platform. The method may involve electronically accessing a database to acquire operational items relating to operational worthiness of the mobile platform, displaying the selected operational items to the user; and performing a synchronization check of the database system. The synchronization check verifies that the selected operational items represent the most recently stored information in the database system.

9. A method for creating a maintenance release (MR) record containing status information for an aircraft, the method comprising:
-
providing a feature for a user to provide a first quantity of release information pertaining to operating information concerning said aircraft; using a processor to run an electronic log book (ELB) application to electronically access a first database located on-board the aircraft, to select a first quantity of operational items; using the ELB application to wirelessly electronically access a second database located remote from the aircraft to select a second quantity of operational items, said selected first and second quantities of operational items including at least a plurality of; open maintenance items; expired deferrals for maintenance items that relate to aircraft airworthiness; active deferrals for maintenance items; and operating restrictions for said aircraft; displaying said selected operational items to said user; and performing a synchronization check of said first and second databases to verify that said selected first and second quantities of operational items represent most recently stored information in said database. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A system for creating a maintenance release (MR) record containing status information for a mobile platform, the system comprising:
-
a user input for a first quantity of release information pertaining to operating information concerning said mobile platform; a electronically accessible database system including at least one database on board the mobile platform and at least one database off-board the mobile platform, for storing operational items relating to at least one of; open faults; and deferrals for operational items that relate to mobile platform operational worthiness; a display for displaying selected ones of said operational items to said user; and a server for running an electronic log book (ELB) application, the ELB application configured to perform a synchronization check of said database system to verify that said selected ones of said operational items obtained from any one of said databases of said database system represent most recently stored information in said database. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
