Method and device for processing faults
First Claim
1. A device for processing failures, comprising:
- circuitry configured toreceive data regarding detected and identified failures in a course of a flight of an airplane;
store a history of occurrences of failures having a same identification, in a course of a plurality of flights;
for each identified failure, determine status, ongoing or intermittent, based on the identified failure and stored history of occurrences of failures having the same identification as the identified failure, in a course of at least one preceding flight of the plurality of flights;
determine an impact of each identified failure on availability of the airplane in a predetermined period based on the determined status;
associate a hierarchical attribute with each failure detected and identified in the course of the flight, the hierarchical attribute being dependent on the history of occurrences of failures and the determined impact on availability of the airplane in the predetermined period; and
cause display of identified failures that are associated with a part of the hierarchical attributes.

Abstract
A device for processing faults, that detects and identifies faults, including, for at least part of the identified faults: a mechanism storing a log of occurrences of faults having a same identification, in a course of a plurality of flights; a mechanism determining an impact of each identified fault, on availability of aircraft in a predetermined duration, a mechanism associating a hierarchical attribute with each fault detected in a course of a flight, the hierarchical attribute being dependent on the log and on the impact; and a mechanism displaying identified faults associated with part of the hierarchical attributes. The device enables, in particular, maintenance operations or operations preparatory to maintenance to be better scheduled by virtue of hierarchization of faults displayed.

13. A method for processing failures detected and identified, the method comprising:
-
receiving, using a processor, data regarding detected and identified failures in a course of a flight of an airplane; storing, using the processor, a history of occurrences of failures having a same identification, in a course of a plurality of flights; for each identified failure, determine status, ongoing or intermittent, using the processor, based on the identified failure and stored history of occurrences of failures having the same identification as the identified failure, in a course of at least one preceding flight of the plurality of flights; determining, using the processor, an impact of each identified failure on availability of the airplane in a predetermined period based on the determined status; associating, using the processor, a hierarchical attribute with each failure detected and identified in the course of the flight, the hierarchical attribute being dependent on the history of occurrences of failures and the determined impact on availability of the airplane in the predetermined period; and displaying identified failures that are associated with a part of the hierarchical attributes.
