ONBOARD MAINTENANCE SYSTEM INTRODUCTION

OMS Functions
If there is an A/C system failure, the related A/C system sends to the
OMS:
- Maintenance data
- Operational data.
The OMS has functions that follow:
- Diagnosis
Maintenance data (fault messages, cockpit effect) are used for diagnoses.
The diagnosis function:
- Gets the data
- Does the correlation between all received maintenance messages and
cockpit effects to cause a correlated fault case with related root cause
and consequences.
- Maintenance support
To correct the failure and to support the maintenance, the OMS supplies
this set of functions (software applications) :
- Access to electronic maintenance documentation (AirN@v Line)
- Control and monitoring of protection and connection devices (e-breaker
access)
- Interactive tests
V2414251 - V00T0MM0 - VM45D1OMS003001
- Software uploading and files downloading

- Configuration reporting
- Real-time monitoring.
- Prognostic
The OMS also has a prognostic function that operates on the acquisition
and analysis of the system operational data. Then, the prognostic function
supplies trend and servicing monitoring and monitoring reports for the
detection in advance of possible failure appearance.
The OMS can then send information to the ground maintenance control
center (in-flight) or to the airline engineering (on-ground) for analyses
that can prevent or correct failures.

OMS DESCRIPTION - OMS APPLICATIONS & OMS ARCHITECTURE

OMS Air-Ground Communications
The OMS applications can send or receive data to or from the ground
through different communication means:
- The Avionics Communication Router (ACR) application hosted in a
CPIOM through HF, VHF and SATCOM means (Aircraft Communication
Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) network) primary in-flight
- The Wireless Airport Communication Router System (WACS) or
through the SATCOM high speed system (IP network) primary on-ground.
The CMS, DLCS and ACMS applications (hosted in the ASFC) can send
or receive data in two different ways. Data are first sent to the application
of the ACD communication manager (Avionics Message Exchanger
(AMEX)) hosted in the ASFC. Then, in relation to the A/C position and
airline policy, data are transmitted to:
- The ACR through the SCIs for the HF, VHF and SATCOM
transmissions
- The OSFC communication manager application (Information
Management Aircraft-ground Communication System (IMACS)) hosted
in the OSFC for transmission through WACS (Wi-Fi, cellular, wired) or
high speed SATCOM.
on-ground, data exchange is possible with the airline ground facilities:

BITE Description
BITE standard A and B
The A350 system BITEs integrate two different standards:
- Standard A BITEs (e.g.: implemented done on SATCOM, VHF
Omnidirectional Range (VOR), Distance Measuring Equipment
(DME), Integrated Standby Instrument System (ISIS), etc.)
- Standard B BITEs (e.g.: done on Flight Management Computer
(FMC), Electronic Engine Control (EEC), Air Data/Inertial Reference
Unit (ADIRU) etc.).
The Standard A BITE is already done on Single Aisle (SA) and Long
Range (LR) A/C. Note that on the A350 computers, primary ATA 23
and ATA 34 system computers integrate Standard A BITEs.
The Standard A BITE has these specificities:
- The fault messages are transmitted in plain English to the CMS.
- It only concerns only ARINC 429 subscribers.
The Standard B BITEs introduce these new features:
- The fault messages are transmitted to the CMS using with fault
codes.
- The system statuses are continuously monitored (refreshed status).
- It concerns the A350 dedicated ARINC 429 and the AFDX

Fault code description
The fault code is the unique A/C event identifier.
It is composed of:
- Four first characters, which show the ATA chapter related to the
system
- A middle letter, which shows the categorization of the event
- Three last characters, which show the sequence of the event.
Note that the CMS uses the fault codes for the correlation procedure.
They come into view in the fault-item detail page related to the PFR
on the OMS tool/application (entry point to get access to the PFR).

BITE DESCRIPTION - FAULT CODE DESCRIPTION

Deferred Alerts - Alerts by Combination
Alerts by combination
When a fault 1 is found on the system X, this system sends a maintenance
message to the CMS-ACD.
While the fault 1 stays present, the fault 2 comes into view and system
X sends:
- A fault message to the CMS-ACD
- A fault message and a global alert request to the FWS.
The FWS starts the global alert which is related to the request and sends
the shown alert to the CMS-ACD to correlate the alert and the fault
message.

DEFERRED ALERTS - ALERTS BY COMBINATION

PFR Recording
During a flight, the maintenance data received through the CMS are
recorded in a time frame specified through different criteria.
The CMS data recording (PFR build-up) is launched:
- If the last CMS data recording was stopped for a minimum of 120 sec
and
- If a minimum of one engine operates for more than 180 sec and
- If:
- The CAS is higher than 80 kts or
- The pilots entered a new flight number.
The CMS data recording (PFR build-up) is stopped when:
- No engine operates
- The CAS is lower than 80 kts during 150 sec.
So, a failure that comes into view out of the PFR recording phase is not
reported or shown in the PFR.

PFR RECORDING

CMS Correlation
The CMS receives all fault symptoms related to the system failures. These
fault symptoms can be A/C systems malfunctions.
From A/C systems, the CMS can receive these data:
- Fault messages from the standard A BITEs (in plain English)
- Fault messages from the standard B BITEs (fault codes)
- Warnings and cautions from the FWS
- Flags or advisories from the CDS
- Cabin failure effects.
The CMS does the centralization of all these data to correlate them. Before
correlation, the CMS connects the fault code to each fault message from
the standard A BITE to do the correlation with these data. Then, the CMS
does the correlation procedure that operates on fault codes.
The CMS correlates the faults events and related symptoms (fault
messages, warnings and cautions) to find the origin of the fault. There is
only one failure identifier for the mechanics.
Then, this failure identifier is related to:
- Fault item detail:
It gives a detailed list and a description of all correlated fault symptoms
related to a failure event.
V2414251 - V00T0MM0 - VM45D2CMS003001
- Maintenance documentation:
It gives the correct and accurate MEL or Aircraft Fault Isolation (AFI)
(Trouble Shooting Manual (TSM)) or maintenance procedure to repair
the failure and to dispatch the A/C. This procedure can be directly done
through a hyperlink available in the fault-item detail page.
- Maintenance history (maintenance database related to the defective
equipment).
- BITE contextual report:
The ACMS report, done in correlation with the correlated fault, gives
in-depth complementary information about the system to the mechanics.

DATA LOADING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (2/3)

Data loading Introduction
The data loading system operates on these functions:
- Field loadable software import from a USB device or from the ground
- Field loadable software uploading in the A/C computers
- Field loadable software configuration reporting and storage
- Field loadable software repository-management
- Data or file downloading to a USB device or to the ground.
All data loading functions are accessible through the Human Machine
Interfaces (HMIs) of the Onboard Maintenance System (OMS), from the
OMT, but also from the OIS display and from the optional Portable
Multipurpose Access Terminal (PMAT).

DATA LOADING INTRODUCTION

If there is an uploading of new software, this can be imported from:
Uploading Architecture - The USB device or
- The airline ground repository.
The data loading system has two applications:
The primary HMIs dedicated to the data loading activities are the OMT
- The Aircraft Control Domain (ACD) of the Data Loading and
and the optional PMAT. The OIS displays (CDS) can also be used.
Configuration System (DLCS) with the data loading functions for the
ACD
- The Simple Data Loader (SDL) with data loading functions for the Open
world Server Function Cabinet (OSFC) and wireless systems (Wireless
Airport Communication System (WACS) and cabin internal wireless
system).
The DLCS-ACD application is hosted in the Avionics Server Function
Cabinet (ASFC).
The function of the DLCS-ACD is to receive and to upload configurations
from:
- The field loadable software (loads) of avionics computers (Line
Replaceable Units (LRUs)) through the SCIs
- The ASFC field loadable software.
The field loadable software to be uploaded can be selected from two
different areas in the field-loadable software repository hosted in the
ASFC:
- The inbox area
V2414251 - V00T0MM0 - VM45D3DLCS03001
- The repository area.

The SDL application is hosted in the OSFC.
The function of the SDL is to receive and to upload the configuration
from:
- The OSFC field loadable software (loads)
- The WACS field loadable software
- The cabin internal wireless system field loadable software.
The field loadable software to be uploaded can be selected from two
different areas in the field loadable software repository, hosted in the
OSFC:
- The inbox area
- The repository area.
V2414251 - V00T0MM0 - VM45D3DLCS03001
UPLOADING ARCHITECTURE

DLCS Subscribers
One of the functions of the DLCS-ACD is to upload software into the
A/C system computers through the SCIs. Note that the DLCS-ACD
cannot upload all the avionics components directly (in terms of
input/output, but also computing resources).
In fact, the DLCS-ACD can do data loading only on:
- LRUs with the AFDX input/output function (e.g.: Air Data/Inertial
Reference Unit (ADIRU), Flight Management Computer (FMC),
CPIOMs, CRDCs, etc.)
- LRUs with the ARINC 429 input/output module function (e.g.: Audio
Management Units (AMUs), Multi-Mode Receivers (MMRs), etc.).
Some LRUs with an AFDX interface can also operate as gateways to
upload remotely other components to which they are connected. In this
case, the data transmission from this gateway to the remote LRUs can
be managed through ARINC 429, Ethernet, Controller Area Network
(CAN) bus or serial buses (e.g.: directors to Decoder/Encoder Units
(DEUs), Remote Braking Control Units (RBCUs), etc.).

DLCS SUBSCRIBERS

Onboard Software Database Content
The onboard software database is a memory resource dedicated for the
storage of a copy of all the field loadable software/loads that operate on
the A/C computers.
There are two different databases on the A/C:
- One is hosted in the ASFC and dedicated to the storage of all avionics
and the ASFC application software/loads
- One is hosted in the OSFC and dedicated to the storage of the OSFC
and wireless system software/loads.
Each database has two different partitions:
- The repository part contains a copy of all the validated field loadable
software uploaded into the A/C computers.
- The inbox part contains all the imported (manually or automatically)
and authenticated field loadable software, ready for uploading. This field
loadable software is only removed from the inbox when the uploading
procedure was validated through the DLCS HMI (i.e. configuration ok).

ONBOARD SOFTWARE DATABASE CONTENT

Software Upload from Repository
A software uploading from the repository does the uploading or re-loading
of software into its computer in two different cases:
- An unusual software operation
- A removal or installation of the hosting computer, if the software was
not pre-loaded into the computer before the installation on A/C (software
missing).
In this type of configuration, the mechanic selects the software for the
re-loading in the repository part of the ASFC or OSFC (in relation to the
target computer). Then, when the mechanic activates the uploading order,
the software in the repository is copied in the target computer(s) to get
the correct configuration.

SOFTWARE UPLOAD FROM REPOSITORY

Software Import
Software automatic import
If there is a software upgrade (e.g. new software version because of
a Service Bulletin), the new software version must be imported into
the ASFC or OSFC inbox (in relation to the system) for the selection
on the DLCS or SDL HMI.
The new load is sent to the A/C OSFC. Then, the Smart Diode Module
(SDM) security-box function analyzes the load for authentication:
- If it is possible that the load is malicious, the SDM automatically
deletes it.
- If the load is authenticated, it is automatically moved to the related
inbox (in the ASFC or in the OSFC), in relation to the load to be
uploaded in the ACD domain or in the OSFC/wireless systems.

Software Import (continued)
Software manual import
If there is a software upgrade, a manual import is also possible with
an USB device: the USB device must be connected to the import plug
of the OMT front face. Then, a dedicated menu on the OMS lets the
mechanic import the software from the USB device in the inbox
repository partition.
The SDM security-box function first analyzes the load for
authentication:
- If it is possible that the load is malicious, the SDM automatically
deletes it.
- If the load is authenticated, it is automatically moved to the related
inbox repository (in the ASFC or in the OSFC), in relation to the load
which is to be uploaded in the ACD domain or in the OSFC/wireless
system

SOFTWARE IMPORT - SOFTWARE MANUAL IMPORT

Software Uploading from Inbox
The software uploading from the inbox does the uploading of new
software or of an upgraded software version already uploaded into the
A/C, typically in the frame of the application of a Service Bulletin.
In this type of configuration, the mechanic selects the software to upload
in the related targets among software available in the inbox part of the
ASFC DLCS or OSFC SDL repository (related to the target computer).
Then, when the mechanic starts the uploading order, the software in the
inbox repository is uploaded in:
- The target computer(s) and
- The related repository to keep a copy onboard the A/C.
Then the software is removed or erased from the inbox.

SOFTWARE UPLOADING FROM INBOX

Configuration Reporting
After an uploading operation, the uploaded software transmits its
configuration to the DLCS-ACD/SDL. This configuration is sent on the
OMS HMI for validation by the mechanic.

V2414251 - V00T0MM0 - VM45D3DLCS03001
CONFIGURATION REPORTING

Configuration Validation
When the mechanic has validated the new configuration, the former
version of the software is removed from the Reference (REF) repository.
Then, the REF repository only contains the copy of the new software
version.

V2414251 - V00T0MM0 - VM45D3DLCS03001
CONFIGURATION VALIDATION

Upload Menus/Domains
In terms of HMI, the mechanic uses the maintenance HMIs (OMT, OIS
display, PMAT) to manage data loading procedures. But in relation to
the uploading software and especially to the related target computers, the
software items must be uploaded:
- Into the ACD part (for avionics and ASFC hosted software) through
the DLCS-ACD or
- Into the OSFC/wireless systems through the SDL.
Note that the DLCS-ACD and SDL application is not managed through
the same menu on the OMS HMI. So, the mechanic is necessary for the
data-loading maintenance procedures to get access to:
- The DLCS-ACD menu (A/C management - software upload and
configuration validation) for the ACD software or
- The SDL (additional functions - open world upload and configuration
validation) for the OSFC and wireless system software.

UPLOAD MENUS/DOMAINS

Software Upload Synoptic
Here is a summary of the different workflows related to the software
uploading procedures.
First within the frame of the software uploading, two scenarios are
possible:
- Repair of a software (from the REF repository)
- Upgrade of a software (from the inbox repository).
General workflow of the software repair:
- Get access to the correct data loading HMI (DLCS-ACD for ACD or
the SDL for OSFC/wireless systems).
- Select the uploading software in the REF repository (onboard is a copy
of the software).
- Start the uploading procedure.
General workflow of the software upgrade:
- Get access to the correct data loading HMI (DLCS-ACD for ACD or
SDL for OSFC/wireless systems).
- Do a check of the content of the inbox repository (result of an automatic
software import or a former manual import).
There are two cases:
- The inbox is empty or some software items are missing:

Configuration Reporting Functions
The DLCS-ACD and SDL data loading applications also have a
configuration reporting function, which does the:
- Reporting of the current software configuration
- Validation of a new software configuration (after the uploading)
- Monitoring of the software configuration (from the target source
reporting)
- Storage and comparison of the current and former configurations (REF
N/N-1/N-2).
- Reporting of the current software configuration
The configuration reporting application does the requests, acquirements
and storage of the configurations of all the A/C computers which can
report their hardware and software configurations (LRU).
This function gives the validation from the maintenance operator, to
timestamp it and to do its storage.
- Monitoring of the software configuration
This function does a check of the software configuration reporting through
the LRUs. When there is an unusual configuration reporting, a warning
is shown to the operator.
- Storage and comparison
V2414251 - V00T0MM0 - VM45D3DLCS03001
The system does the storage of different software configurations. Then,

the function cyclically compares the last refreshed LRU configuration
with the validated one and if there are differences, it proposes a related
uploading operation to fix the trouble.
The mechanic will be asked to do a check of the current A/C computer
software configuration before and after each uploading procedure.

CONFIGURATION REPORTING FUNCTIONS

Files Downloading
The downloading function lets the maintenance operators retrieve different
data files from the ATA XX systems (e.g.: maintenance and specific data,
etc.).
This function concerns only the LRUs, managed through the DLCS-ACD.
The mechanics select the files to download from the dedicated HMI.
Then, these files are sent to the export box, from which they can retrieve
them with an USB device or through transmission to the ground with
wireless systems through the OSFC Communication (COM) manager.

AIRCRAFT CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM (ACMS) DESCRIPTION (2/3)

ACMS Introduction
The primary function of the Aircraft Condition Monitoring System
(ACMS) is to give scheduled, preventive maintenance and in-depth
troubleshooting, through the monitoring of the efficiency and the
degradation of the A/C systems and environment.
For that, the ACMS monitors:
- The engine condition
- The A/C system condition
- The A/C performance condition.
To get these functions, the ACMS can do:
- The generation of reports (automatically or manually)
- The recording of data
- The display of A/C parameters in real-time.

As an option, the CDAU can also send data to an optional DAR.
- The cockpit printer (for the ACMS reports).
- The ACMS server application that is hosted in the ASFC.

reports contain a lot of in-depth complementary information on A/C

systems and are used to make the system failure troubleshooting easier.
The ACMS also has two additional applications dedicated to supply OIS
and IFE applications (airshow) with serviceable A/C data:
- The remote server acquisition, hosted in the CDAU, which collects and
transmits data necessary for different applications (e.g. flight show) to
the ASFC (Avionics Broadcast Data Collector (ABDC) application).
- The ABDC application, hosted in the ASFC. Its primary function is to
decode data received from the remote-server acquisition application to
transmit this information to the related user applications in the OIS (with
the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) laptop).

ACMS ARCHITECTURE

The ACMS reports can be retrieved through:
ACMS Reports - Onboard HMI display consultation
- Transmission to the ground
ACMS reports groups
- Downloading on the USB device
One of the functions of the ACMS is to give the A/C system reports - Onboard cockpit printer.
for the system monitoring and the in-depth analysis.
There are four groups of the ACMS reports:
- The Airbus standard reports
- The Airbus customer support reports
- The airline programmed reports
- The onboard/on-ground reports.
The Airbus standard reports are validated and approved by Airbus. A
re-certification is necessary if there is a change in these reports (more
than the modification of some limits and constants).
They include:
- Engine reports (for trend monitoring and event analysis)
- System reports (for trend monitoring and event analysis)
- BITE contextual reports
- A servicing trend monitoring reports.
The Airbus customer support reports are dedicated to airline
engineering, but only engineers of the Airbus Customer Services can
change them through software uploading.
V2414251 - V00T0MM0 - VM45D4ACMS03001
The Airline programmed reports can be changed by the Airline

authorized staff through software uploading.
The onboard/on-ground reports can be changed by the Airline
authorized staff through Aircraft Communication Addressing and
Reporting System (ACARS) software uploading or through the
onboard HMI.
The ACMS reports can be started through different conditions:
- Automatic pre-specified triggering logic
- Manual request from onboard HMIs (OMT, PMAT, etc.)
- ACMS remote trigger-button
- Request from the ground (ACARS)
- Request from the CMS-ACD for the BITE correlation.

Smart Access Recorder/Quick Access Recorder Data
The ACMS also records the A/C system parameters for visualization on
the onboard HMIs or for recording.
The recorded data are dedicated to the in-depth analysis for the
troubleshooting procedures, or for prognostic activities at the airline
engineering level.
Two types of data are recorded:
- The Smart ACMS Access Recorder (SAR) data
- The Quick Access Recorder (QAR) data.
The SAR data are recorded on logic channels (100 channels max). Data
are permanently received from A/C systems through the CDAU.
Following the channel logic, dedicated parameters are selected, and if
the triggering is achieved, the recording procedure is started. Then the
data are compressed and sent to the ASFC (ASCM-SA) for recording
and consultation through the onboard HMI.
The QAR data are received from the Flight Data Interface Function
(FDIF) which does the collecting of the mandatory Digital Flight Data
Recording System (DFDRS). A copy of these data is transmitted into the
CDAU to a VQAR recording function, which sends these data to the
ASFC for the recording procedure in the VQAR database. Then, these
V2414251 - V00T0MM0 - VM45D4ACMS03001
data can be downloaded or consulted from the onboard HMIs or can be

sent to the ground.

PAPER LOGBOOK CONFIGURATION

Paper Logbook Configuration (continued)
Consult paper logbook
The mechanics can use the paper logbook to consult possible flight
crew entries.
The technical logbook shows that there is one open entry ENG 2
REVERSER FAULT message recorded in-flight.
So, the mechanics must consult the MEL to do the A/C dispatch
assessment.

Paper Logbook Configuration (continued)
Consult dispatch page and warning display
On the A350, the dispatch messages are used as an entry point into
the MEL.
The mechanics must consult the dispatch page on the ECAM system
display to find the dispatch message related to the logbook entry.
A related warning message (if there is one) is shown on the ECAM
warning display.
In this example, a dispatch message IMA MULTIPLE RESOURCES
is shown on the dispatch page.
There is also a related warning message ENG 2 REVERSER FAULT.
So, the mechanics can get access to the MEL with this dispatch
message.

PAPER LOGBOOK CONFIGURATION - CONSULT DISPATCH PAGE AND WARNING DISPLAY

Get Access to MEL from Dispatch Message
The mechanics must get access to the MEL to determine the dispatch
condition status related to the flight crew entry.
There are two different ways to get access to the MEL:
- Free access from the OMS documentation menu
- Direct access to the MEL correlated entry from a dedicated hyperlink
on the OMS Post Flight Report (PFR) page.

GET ACCESS TO MEL FROM DISPATCH MESSAGE

Get Access to MEL from Dispatch Message (continued)
Free access to MEL
Free MEL access from the OMS documentation menu.
In this case, the mechanics must first select dispatch message topic
on the MEL home page. Then, they must retrieve in the list the
dispatch message shown on the ECAM. When the dispatch is found,
the mechanics must select it for the display of its dispatch condition.
In this example, the dispatch condition is NO DISPATCH.

Access MEL from PFR
A different way to get access to the MEL dispatch condition related
to the logbook entry is to do it through the PFR.
The mechanics can select the PFR from the OMS home page. Then,
they select the couple warning/dispatch message related to the logbook
entry. The effect detail page comes into view. On this page, there is
detailed information correlated with the fault case, especially the
correlated MEL entry. Select the hyperlink to get access to the dispatch
condition status.

Dispatch assessment
From the MEL correlated page, the mechanics can do the dispatch
assessment related to the selected open entry.
In this case, the related condition of dispatch is NO DISPATCH for
the IMA MULTIPLE RESOURCES dispatch message.
So, the mechanics must repair the failure to make the maintenance
release of the A/C possible.

Troubleshooting Workflow
OMS home page
The dispatch condition assessment is done, its status is NO
DISPATCH.
In such a case, the only possibility to dispatch the A/C is to repair the
fault.
To repair the fault, it is necessary to start the troubleshooting phase,
to first isolate the fault and to identify the root cause.
First get access to the PFR function from the OMS, to benefit from
the A350 technological improvements.

Troubleshooting Workflow (continued)
Get access to the PFR
Then, select the relevant warning/dispatch message couple in the PFR,
to get access to the related effect detail.
On the effect detail page, select the fault code related to the fault root
cause. This is a hyperlink to the correlated Aircraft Fault Isolation
(AFI) procedure.

Get access to AFI procedure and repair failure
In the AFI correlated procedure, all information necessary for the
failure isolation and the root cause repair is shown, with hyperlinks
to the related maintenance procedures. You can manage the repair
phase from this point if there is a good use of the A/C documentation.

TROUBLESHOOTING WORKFLOW - GET ACCESS TO AFI PROCEDURE AND REPAIR FAILURE

Release the aircraft
The A/C documentation lets manage the repair of the failure.
To assume that the fault is really repaired, get access to the ECAM
pages and make sure that the warning/dispatch messages have
disappeared.
When the repair and clean configuration is validated, fill in the paper
logbook to answer to the flight crew entry.
At this step, the maintenance release for the dispatch can be done if
there are no other faults, also faults that came into view during the
maintenance phase.
