Fault Code Report Creation

On-board engine performance monitoring equipment is used to record engine and aircraft performance data and to detect defects or the need for routine engine maintenance. The on-board systems are used to generate "fault codes" representing symptoms of engine and/or performance problems. Ground maintenance personnel use the fault codes to direct maintenance efforts using maintenance manuals that provide suggestions for appropriate actions or responses to each fault code. The maintenance log is updated by ground personnel after carrying out the appropriate actions.
