To build the future often you must transcend existing paradigms. Aircraft maintenance manuals are the first line of defense and official source for troubleshooting maintenance issues on an aircraft. For many years aircraft manuals have been constrained by the paradigm of a book. Books are great, but they also have their limitations. Can you read from two chapters at once? How easy is it to find what you are looking for in a book?  What happens when we challenge that original assumption and integrate sophisticated machine learning and advanced data access to the world of aircraft maintenance manuals? Powered by Cognitive technologies, Honeywell and SparkCognition are delivering improved experience, faster troubleshooting, and data collection and analysis in the moment of need that is pushing aircraft maintenance experience into a new era.
