Abstract
The automated transfer of flight logbook information from aircrafts into aircraft maintenance systems leads to reduced ground and maintenance time and is thus desirable from an economical point of view. Until recently, flight logbooks have not been managed electronically in aircrafts or at least data transfer from aircraft to ground maintenance system has been executed manually, since only latest aircraft types (e.g., Airbus A380) support electronic logbooks. This paper contributes concept and top level distributed system architecture of a generic system for automated flight logbook data transfer. It details a generic mapping component that facilitates flexible mappings between aircraft logbook systems as input and aircraft maintenance systems in the backend. Due to its flexible design the mapping component could also be used for different domains with similar requirements.
