45.10 GENERAL Presentation
The Centralized Maintenance System (CMS) groups the maintenance of the avionic suite (AVS) and the maintenance systems of other aircraft
systems (A/C systems).
- The Avionic Suite (AVS) maintenance function is managed by the Centralized Maintenance Application (CMA ) of CAC.
- The maintenance function of the other aircraft systems is managed by the Data Management Unit (DMU) software part of the Multi-Purpose
Computer (MPC).
The DMU manages also:
- MFC maintenance function
- EEC maintenance function (Engine)
- PEC maintenance function (Propeller)

45.10 GENERAL Presentation
The CMS allows the maintenance operator to access the following information through a single interface (MCDU):
- Failures detected during the last flight
- Failures currently detected (aircraft on ground)
Note: This access can be performed through both MCDU but not simultaneously
The AVS Maintenance System provides additional features:
- System test and report
- System identification and AVS configuration report
- Class 2 failures report
Note: Failures are classified in two classes depending on the severity of effect on system operation:

- Class 1: Failure with flight deck effects.
- Class 2: Minor failure without flight deck effects.
The maintenance function of the MPC provides additional features:
- display and record various A/C parameters
- Customize various functions
- manage A/C parameters
- report various A/C systems
It is also possible to provide, through ACMS menu, the maintenance functions directly under control of MPC (PEC/EEC, MFC, FCU).

45.10 GENERAL Presentation
In addition to pilot remarks recorded in the aircraft logbook, the operator can rely on the "LAST FLIGHT REPORT" (in CMC menu) to identify any
warning and caution occurred during the last flight.
This report should be the main point of entry into the maintenance system.

45.10 GENERAL Interfaces
The Centralized maintenance system (CMS) fulfills the two followings function:
- Maintenance of new avionic systems (AVS) is managed by the Centralized Maintenance Application (CMA ) of CAC.
- Maintenance of aircraft systems (A/C System) is managed by the Data Management Unit (DMU) software part of the Multi-Purpose Computer
(MPC).
The electrical supply provides power for the Centralized Maintenance System (CMS)
The CMS acquires the current date and time from electronic clocks.
Note: in case of failure from the clocks, the current date and time are provided by the Flight Management System (FMS1 or FMS2), embedded on
Display Unit 2 and 4.
The CMS acquires the AVS configuration from the Flight Data Acquisition embedded on Display Unit.

45.11 CENTRAL MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (CMS) System Description
The Centralized maintenance Application (CMA) purpose is to offer to the maintenance operator a set of services via MCDU pages (through MPC).
It make a diagnostic that permits to identify as clearly as possible the root cause of a problem occurred in the avionics system.
These services are:
- Display of configuration report
- Display failures reports (current failures and historic)
- Possibility to initiate interactive tests
The CMA is activated in the CPM1 of the Core Avionic Cabinet 1 only (CAC1).
Note: it is also hosted in CAC 2 but not activated.
The side is established through a pin programming.

45.11 CENTRAL MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (CMS) System Description
The basic Bite-CMA architecture is a direct connection between the CMA and the Bite part of the system.
However, the diversity of LRU BITE technology and the general AVS architecture constraints lead to implement 5 other kinds of architecture.

45.11 CENTRAL MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (CMS) System Description
From the flight phase (managed by MPC), the CMA computes the maintenance phase.
The maintenance phase is used to:
- Establish the CMA operational mode,
- manage leg reports.
The CMA can operate in two modes, the "normal" mode while the aircraft maintenance phase is "flight" and the "interactive" mode while the aircraft
maintenance phase is "ground".
In normal mode, the CMA performs:
- Collection and transmission of maintenance data resulting from system monitoring.
- Storage of failure in Non Volatile Memory (NVM).

45.11 CENTRAL MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (CMS) System Description
The CMA failures are classified in two classes depending on the system operation effects severity:
- Class 1: Failure with flight deck effects which prevent continued system operation and classified as critical (highest class).
- Class 2: Minor failure without flight deck effects classified as non critical (lowest class).
It will only require deferred maintenance.
The Class 1 failure can be of 2 kind:
- Internal failures: failures related to a part of a system and reported by this one (memory failure for instance)
- External failures: also called interface failures, these failures are reported by a system that do not "see" another one.
For instance system A receives data from system B through an A429 bus.
If B fails or if the bus is disconnected, system A will report an external failure accusing the interface with system B.

45.11 CENTRAL MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (CMS) System Description
Through an ATA data base associated to each equipment and each system, CMA failures are classified with an ATA chapter code.
In order to reduce the amount of failure reported by the maintenance system and also to avoid spurious failures detection, the CMA performs 3
different calculations in the following order:
Calculation 1:
The CMA correlates AVS component failure with their electrical power bus bars status by using electrical distribution network design. A reported
failure accusing an AVS component not powered due to a bus bar failure will be filtered and will not appear in the different reports.
Calculation 2:
The CMA uses data from the AVS configuration file to prevent the display of failures messages accusing LRU not fitted on the aircraft.
MW45.11_.01.S1L1 Copyright © 2011-2012 - ATR Training Centre - All right reserved For Training Only Page 24
45.11 CENTRAL MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (CMS) System Description
Calculation 3:
The CMA uses an ATA based correlation algorithm to identify as far as possible the root failure.
The principle is the following, a first failure is associated to a correlation window and a timeout of 1 minute.
When a new failure occurs following a previous one, the CMA determines if both failures can be correlated together.
Their ATA code are compared.
- If no correlation is possible (different ATA codes) a new correlation window associated to the failure is opened for 1 minute.
- If a correlation is possible (same ATA code) the failure is considered as induced by the initial failure and does not appear in the different
reports.
MW45.11_.01.S1L1 Copyright © 2011-2012 - ATR Training Centre - All right reserved For Training Only Page 25
45.11 CENTRAL MAINTENANCE SYSTEM (CMS) System Description
When maintenance phase is "flight", both class 1 and 2 failures selected by the correlation process are stored in a None Volatile Memory (NVM).
The CMA can store up to 300 class 1 failures occurred during the last 63 legs and up to 50 class 1 occurred during the last leg.
The CMA can store up to 300 class 2 failures occurred during the last 64 legs.
The NVM is managed in order to:
- offer the possibility to store at least one message for each subsystem
- replace oldest failures by the newest ones, if the maximum storage capacity is detected during the leg.
- prevent redundant failure storage within a given leg.
- store the date, time and ATA code of concerned system for each failure.
- Make a fault data copy in the PCMCIA card or through the printer
