06-2002

- Software specification completed
- Software implementation progresses
- First prototype available
- Tutorial, how to use the system
- Documentation is under preparation (User manual and Authoring Guide)
- FLS received first installation in January, other end-users initiated purchase of required hardware
- Installation of new prototypes until end of July, month 28

1) Aileron Servo Control Removal including a job-set-up is partially finished in guided mode.

2) A model of a hangar was created for the task management of the
Integrated Drive Generator scenario.

3) The Integrated Drive Generator geometry is implemented in VR.
The maintenance procedure sequence is defined.

4) The first example of a Line Oriented Maintenance Scenario "Bad Lighting Condition" was established.

5) The APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) Geometry was converted into the VR-System. Three LRU (Line Replaceble Units) were identified as the first three procedures to create.

More Information soon.

The Scenario Nose Landing Gear - Front Strut Seal Replacement were changed to an Auxiliary Power Unit Removal/Installation

08-2001

The first version of the presentation mode of the Aileron Servo Control 33CE1 Removal/Installation with the Subtasks:"Get access" and "Removal of the Aileron Servo Control" were implemented in the virtual environment.You can request a VRML2.0 version of the scenario by sending an e-mail to Stefan Stüring:

WP 3 and WP 4 are on track.
All scenarios are relevant for Airbus A320 family aircraft:

• Aileron Flight Control Actuator Servo, Removal/Installation
• Nose Landing Gear - Front Strut Seal Replacement
• Integrated Drive Generator (CFM56 Engine), Removal/Installation/Servicing
  Task Analysis is on track. Video observation and several interviews were conducted and analysed. The end users have started to identify all objects involved in the task for the "Object Identifaction List" of the three scenarios. Each end user is responsible for one of the scenarios (Data provision, support in authoring validation and evaluation)

In March, a heavy maintenance D check of an Air Volare Airbus A320 was observed at Shannon Aerospace in Ireland. Researchers from Fraunhofer IFF were able to take measurements for aquiring geometry of the Aileron Servo Control and the Nose Landing Gear. A video was also produced in order to precisly document technical procedures and their contents. Researchers from JRC and TCD also completed a video observation and several interviews with technicans in the maintenance area to gain insight into the technical procedure related human factors.
