Processing of aircraft alarm and maintenance messages
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for managing alarm and maintenance messages of an aircraft, comprising the steps of:
- collecting information relating to the alarm, aircraft status and maintenance messages;
the collecting the information comprising listening to communications on an avionics bus between a centralized maintenance system (CMS) and a printing service Printer and/or ground equipment of ACARS or VHF type; and
transmitting the information collected to an electronic device of EFB or electronic flight bag type, the said electronic device being able to correlate the alarm messages with the maintenance messages and to associate descriptions of the alarms with links and electronic maintenance documents.

Abstract
A computer implemented method for managing alarm and maintenance messages of an aircraft, comprises collecting information relating to the alarm, aircraft status and maintenance messages; transmitting the information collected to an electronic device of EFB or electronic flight bag type, the electronic device being able to correlate the alarm messages with the maintenance messages and to associate the descriptions of the alarms with links and electronic maintenance documents. Developments describe notably the extracting of data from images or audio streams; listening to the communications on an avionics bus between the centralized maintenance system CMS and the printing service Printer and/or ground equipment of AGARS or VHF type; and the establishing of links with the electronic documentation and the use of an electronic flight bag EFB.
