Development of smart aircraft logbook based on iot

Abstract

This project is to develop a system that can integrate between user input and data reference stored in a cloud database. The user input is referring to the post-flight report regarding aircraft status retrieved from the Flight Management System (FMS). The data will be crosschecked subject to the reference manual which is the Master Minimum Equipment List (MMEL) and o Minimum Equipment List (MEL) that have been kept in a cloud database. This system is constructed to reduce time and response time for the post-flight check. Research exploratory had been carried out using the interview method, to obtain the information regarding the application and implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the aviation industry. System reference is extracted into the cloud database. Next, the software is developed so that the user can have interaction with this system. From all the fragments from the input and data reference, this system is recommended a fast solution to determine the aircraft status; whether it is safe to fly or to be grounded for maintenance purposes. Through this methodology and IoT concept, it is believed that this system may be a beneficial idea and effort to fit the aviation industry's needs towards the rise of the Industrial Revolution 4.0.
