Purposes
Provide maintenance personnel with an aid to fault
diagnosis further to a complaint of the crew, thus saving time and money in the maintenance of the aircraft
Enabling technology; hosting a wide range of airline-
specific software applications, including cabin information applications, graphical weather depiction, document viewing etc.
Two independent computers (MFC1 & MFC2) Two independent modules (A & B) Receives signal from all the various systems and system controls Self-test capability to ensure it is operation correctly
Test Pushbutton

MFC system
On : (Pushbutton pressed in) Module operates Off : (Pushbutton released) Module stops operating FAULT : Amber light comes on and the CCAS is activated when a malfunction or electrical supply fault is detected.
3 Classes of Faults
Class 1 May have operational consequences on the current flight Class 2 Do not have any operational consequences on the current flight or following flights Class 3 No consequences on aircraft safety or availability Unlike Class 1 and Class 2 faults, these faults are not indicated to the crew
Link Monitoring
repair To increase the level of safety of the system which contains BIST
Maintenance test
Carried out only when required and when the aircraft is on the ground
All faults are recorded in the non-volatile memory Detects faults in two ways :
Internally By monitoring its own operation Externally By another aircraft system which received and monitored information from the faulty system

Data Loading
Navigation information required by the aircraft
systems is loaded using Data Loaders Capable of downloading thousands of byte of information into the required system in a matter of seconds
operates Defined via the ARINC 424 standard Normally updated every 28 days, to ensure that its content are current
Maneuver designed to delay an aircraft already in flight while keeping it within a specific airspace Highway in the sky

Structure Monitoring
Structural health monitoring is an important safety
factor in aviation that might benefit from advanced smart systems for damage sensing and signal processing.
Structure Monitoring
Reasons : Prevent damage and possible hazard to the aircraft following a catastrophic failure Detection of failures before any real damage has occurred Safety issues To adapt operational usage to limit or even stop damage growth
thermal and/or mechanical loading conditions which cause premature failure of materials at less than 20,000 cycles It is important to not have failures of this type for economical and safety reasons
usually in the turbine or compressor sections The choice of metal alloys and the design of engine components are the protection methods
from the engine for such parameters as engine speed (NL and NH) of comppresors and turbines
Processes the information to calculate engine damage cycles Damage cycles are not related to actual damage, but more a measure of the component life being consumed by there critical terms.
exceedances, and include built-in test and flight data recording (FDR) functions
data gathered from sensors and accelerometers that monitor the essential components for safe flight
data allows operators to target pilot training and establish a flight operations and quality assurance (FOQA) program, to determine trends in aircraft operations and component usage
the fault messages in the cockpit and allowing some specific tests
maintenance aid to intervene at system or subsystem level from multipurpose CDUs (Control Display Units) located in their cockpit Two levels of maintenance :
Components
BITEs of all electronic systems Two fully redundant CMCs (Central Maintenance
One printer
Modes of Operation
Operates in two main modes : In flight, NORMAL or REPORTING mode
In NORMAL mode, the CMS records and permanently displays the failure messages transmitted by each system BITE
In INTERACTICE mode, the CMS allows the connection of any BITE system with the MCDU, in order to initiate a TEST, or to display the maintenance data stored and formatted by the systems BITE
3 Classes of Failures
Class 1 Failures indicated to the flight crew by means of a flight deck effect Class 2 Failures which can be left uncorrected until the next scheduled maintenance check Maximum delay of 600 Flight Hours Class 3 Failures not indicated to the flight crew, with no fixed time quoted for correction
