Abstract:
The present invention includes a safety apparatus and method for protecting users during maintenance operations for a rotorcraft (100) comprising: at least one permanent, semi-permanent, or detachable safety bar, strap (120a, 120b), fastener, hook, or loop that is attached or attachable to a rotorcraft (100), wherein the safety bar, strap (120a, 120b), fastener, hook, or loop is positioned in an area or surface between a windshield of the rotorcraft (100) and a tail boom (108) of the rotorcraft (100) and is connectable to a user safety device to provide fall protection from the area or surface.
Abstract:
According to one example embodiment, an aircraft maintenance feedback system includes a technical publication system (220), a maintenance analysis engine (210), and an operator feedback system (230). The maintenance analysis engine (210) is configured to receive, from each of a plurality of aircraft maintainers (202-206), feedback information (202a-206a) associated with how each of the aircraft maintainers (202-206) performed an aircraft maintenance action using the provided instructions and to determine, based on the feedback information (202a-206a) received, whether a maintenance concern reflected by the feedback information (202a-206a) received from each of the plurality of aircraft maintainers (202-206) is potentially common to many of the plurality of aircraft maintainers (202-206) or is limited to a specific one or more of the plurality of aircraft maintainers (202a-206a).
