1. A method for collecting data for a vehicle having an onboard memory and onboard processor, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the processor onboard the vehicle, and prior to operation of the vehicle, a primary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request from a primary ground base station tool;
associating, by the processor, the primary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request with a unique portion of the onboard memory;
receiving, by the processor, and prior to operation of the vehicle, a secondary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request from a second ground base station tool;
associating, by the processor, the secondary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request with a unique portion of the onboard memory;
andconcurrently collecting and recording data into a primary data report responsive to the primary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request, and a secondary data report responsive to the secondary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request, wherein the primary data report and secondary data report are each stored into their associated unique portions of memory, and wherein the concurrent collection and recordation of data is performed by the processor during vehicle operation.

Abstract
Embodiments of the subject matter described herein relate generally to generating multiple, multivariant prognostic data reports in aircraft. A plurality of data collection requests, one from each of a plurality of stakeholders, is received at the aircraft. A unique portion of onboard memory is associated with each of the data collection requests. Concurrently, according to the associated data collection requests, parametric data is collected and recorded as a report into each one of the unique portions of memory associated with each data collection request.

11. A method for providing a stakeholder with a report of parametric data collected while a vehicle is in-service, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a processor onboard the vehicle, prior to vehicle service, a primary report configuration file from a primary ground base station tool, the primary report configuration file representative of a primary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request; by the processor onboard the vehicle; generating an airline condition monitoring function (ACMF) representative of the primary report configuration file; associating a unique portion of an onboard memory with the primary stakeholder'"'"'s ACMF; receiving, prior to vehicle service, a secondary report configuration file from a second ground base station tool, the secondary report configuration file representative of a secondary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request; generating an airline condition monitoring function (ACMF) representative of the secondary report configuration file; associating, a unique portion of an onboard memory with the secondary stakeholder'"'"'s ACMF; concurrently collecting data according to the primary stakeholder'"'"'s ACMF and secondary stakeholder'"'"'s ACMF when the vehicle is in service; and checking collected data for completeness and concurrently recording collected data into (i) the memory associated with the primary stakeholder as the primary stakeholder'"'"'s data report, and (ii) the memory associated with the secondary stakeholder as the secondary stakeholder'"'"'s data report. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for providing a stakeholder with a data report of parametric data collected from a vehicle, the system comprising:
-
a primary ground base station tool for providing a primary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request; a second ground base station tool coupled to the vehicle for providing a secondary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request; a vehicle coupled to the primary ground base station tool and second ground base station tool, comprising; a memory device; a processor coupled to the memory device and configured to;
1) receive, prior to operation of the vehicle, the primary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request
2) generate an airline condition monitoring function (ACMF) representative of the primary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request
3) associate a unique portion of the memory device with the primary stakeholder'"'"'s ACMF;
4) collect and record data into the memory associated with the primary stakeholder'"'"'s ACMF as the primary data report, according to the primary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request; andwherein the processor is further configured to;
1) receive, prior to operation of the vehicle, the secondary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request;
2) generate an ACMF representative of the secondary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request;
3) associate a unique portion of the memory device with the secondary stakeholder'"'"'s data collection request;
4) collect and record data into memory associated with the secondary stakeholder'"'"'s ACMF as the secondary data report concurrent with the collection and storage of data into the primary data report. - View Dependent Claims (17)
