AIRMAN- WEB OBJECTIVES
AIRMAN-web (AIRcraft Maintenance ANalysis) developed by AIRBUS is a tool for data analysis. Its
objective is to help airline maintenance departments to anticipate unscheduled maintenance events and to
make decisions in the frame of troubleshooting.
AIRMAN could be linked to other maintenance information systems to exchange and centralize some
information within a single application.
1- Ensure your Java J2SE Runtime Environment version is up to date and your work-station complies with
pre-requisites (refer to “Pre-requisites” section at the end of the chapter)
2- Approach your local AirbusWorld (UEA) focal point to ensure that you have proper login/password and
access to AIRMAN-web service.
3- Approach your local AIRMAN-web user account Administrator to have them grant AIRMAN-web the
proper grants and profile (refer to “user account management” section at the end of the document)
4- Launch AirbusWorld web page (https://w3.airbus.com/airbusworld/) :
AIRMAN-web users can follow a training on-line using the eLearning modules. The modules are broken
down into different scenarios.
Users must have an AirbusWorld account to view the eLearning. You will find a short description of the
eLearning player at the end of this user-guide.

G ENERAL OPERATION
When selecting a flight leg AIRMAN-web will show in a unique Event Details page: the fault history case,
the defect history, the different identifiers and sources, an analysis and a suggestion of possible causes,
linked to the TSM and technical notes, the event priority, and finally offers the possibility to create work
orders, to add notes or to request specific information on the aircraft (according to the subscribed
functionalities).
2 ‘Striped’ view: more detailed view. Up to 30 aircraft can be displayed in the same page,
3 ‘Extended’ view: the more detailed view. The priority is given to the events most important details.
TILED VIEW

4 Servicing information, only for A330 & A340 (to be configured carefully to avoid displaying spurious
information),
5 ACMS data: the ACMS having triggered a priority are displayed in this section, and a link ‘ACMS
without Priority’ provides access to the search of all the ACMS (without and with priority),
6 Flights comments (see previous chapter).
7 ‘Trend’ link, leads to the ACMS report monitoring window
8 For an event detected by the ‘Fault Tracking’ function, the icon appears in the PFR (for more
information on the fault tracking, refer to the dedicated chapter).
9 ‘History’ panel represents previous legs of the selected aircraft (each square represents one leg,
“0” being the last leg). Clicking on a leg gives access to the corresponding CFR and PFR (if
available). This function allows to easily navigate between legs directly from the Flight Details
‘P’ means that the PFR is empty.
10 ‘Aircraft data request’ function: ask the aircraft for ACMS report or Cockpit alerts that are not in
the CFR/PFR
Which kind of information can I get access to through the ‘CMS data’ section?
AIRMAN-web is able to analyze the events received in the raw PFR and to display fault cases by correlating
fault messages and warnings that are linked together. This feature simplifies the analysis of the PFR and
reduces the number of troubleshooting actions to be performed.
1 Fault messages in light blue / grey,
2 Warnings in yellow,
3 Fault Cases are separated by a dark blue line,
4 Putting the mouse over each ‘Occurrence History’ will provide the flight phase details,
Each “square” is associated to a leg and the last 15 legs are shown, ‘0’ being the current leg.
5 A click on the ‘Occurrence History’ bar gives access to the ‘History Search’ for the selected event.
For more information on the ‘History Search’ function, refer to the ‘Monitor History’ detailed in the ‘AIRMAN-
web for MCC AND LINE ENGINEERS’ section.
In the ‘Flight Details’ window, click on the icon next to ‘ACMS report’ or ‘Cockpit Alerts’, according to the
request you want to send.
If you ask for an ACMS report:
1 Choose the report and click on ‘Request’
3 By clicking on this icon, you will see information on requests you made, specially the status (you can
also see this information in the ‘ACMS Alerts’ space)

Now you can click on the ‘Work’ icon to access the complete summary of the work history information:
Note: the ‘Work’ icon is also visible and accessible in the ‘Flight Details’ page:
Note: you can create as many notes as you want by repeating the same process.
The ‘Notifications’ menu gives you an access to the history of received notifications.
The ‘Events’ monitoring menu is dedicated to the ‘MCC Advanced’, and will help for the monitoring and
analysis of in-service maintenance events, through the anticipation and prioritization of maintenance
actions.
The ‘Fault Tracking’ function automatically highlights events at PFR reception according to rules predefined
by Airbus and customizable by the airline through the administration tool. It aims at detecting successive fault
messages or warnings occurrences, and at highlighting the events having a ‘nuisance’, ‘occurrence’,
‘repetitive’ or, only for A380, ‘significant’ behavior.
An event is tagged as ‘repetitive’ on a specific aircraft, when:
o For an aircraft, it has consecutively occurred more than N times on the last 15 legs (PFR).
o Or it occurred not consecutively but more than M times over the last 15 legs (PFR).
N, M: preset by Airbus and customized by your AIRMAN-web administrator.
The ‘occurrence’ highlights the events having a high occurrence rate on a specific aircraft compared
with the rest of the fleet,
The ‘nuisance’ detection highlights the events having a high occurrence rate, spread all over the
aircraft of a same fleet (A320, A330 for ex).
For A380 only, ‘significant messages’ detection tracks some PFR messages according to below
rules to highlight the most significant items:
1 ‘Message criteria’: select your message type (FM, FDCE or both), the report type (PFR or
CFR), the ATA and the message text if relevant, and, only for A380, the fault code.
2 ‘Date criteria’: the user can search the last occurrence, or by specific ‘legs’ or date
3 ‘Fleet criteria’: choose the fleet, the aircraft type and the aircraft registration number
4 The ‘Reason’: Nuisance, Occurrence, Repetitive, and Significant for A380 only, as defined
above
5 ‘Pending items’ only for A380
6 Click ‘Save criteria’ to save your selection or ‘Display events’ to display the results of your
query.
The fault tracking function will display one line per event, even if there are several occurrences for one event.
For each event reported, you will have details on: the associated A/C ID, the Last Event Date, the ATA, the
Class, the Priority, the Message Title and Subtitle, the Source, and the Occurrence History over the past 30
legs. You can also link a note for each event.
Note: the information can be reorganized by dragging the columns and by sorting results on a specific
column. Text in italic means the message title is not known by the system (no link possible to
documentation).
The ‘Monitoring’ function will allow the user to identify the events which occurred for a specific aircraft or
aircraft family.
The result is the list of messages displayed by fault cases as correlated in the PFR:
Clicking on an event will display the ‘Last occurrences’ panel. All functionalities of and details provided by
this panel are exactly the same as in the ‘Fault tracking’ function. Please refer 2.4.1.1 FAULT TRACKING
FUNCTION for detailed presentation.
REP ORT M O N IT O R I N G
