Design of a Digital Mock-Up for Instruction and Procedure Hand-On Aircraft Maintenance Manual

Abstract

Maintenance is very important in the aviation industry. Each aircraft has its own Maintenance Manual. Sometimes, maintenance manual is hard to understand and this can lead to human errors. The instructions and the pictures were sometimes confusing and not clearly explained in the maintenance manual. Clearly, this is not good for the aviation industry as they can lead to accidents. If there was misunderstanding of the instruction in the maintenance manual, human error can occur. So, this project was conducted to produce digital maintenance manual database that is easier to understand. This project is about using animation to simulate the procedures in Maintenance Manual and creating 3D images that can be manipulated by users to change the angle of view.
