Abstract

The authors review the flight Control Maintenance Diagnostics System (FCMDS) and discuss how it will be used in the USAF maintenance environment. They cover the interaction of FCMDS with both the air force flight-time technician and his computerized logistics support tools, such as the Core Automated Maintenance System. They also examine how FCMDS can impact each level of current USAF maintenance practices. These effects include possible elimination of the fault isolation guide, stronger commonality of diagnostic systems between points in the logistics chain, and the ability to effectively navigate through wiring diagrams
