This paper reports development of a prototype expert system for F-15 Flight Control System maintenance diagnostic procedures. Particular emphasis is upon the extent and structure of the rule base, procedures for developing the rule base, and characteristics of the development environment and user interface. The purpose of this expert system application is to make all experts' knowledge of the flight control system available and accessible to the flight line technician, and by this means improve the technician's effectiveness and level of performance. This expert maintenance diagnostic system isolates failures below the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) level; for example; connectors, wires and so forth. Failures of these components are responsible for a significant fraction of flight control system LRU removals at the operational level which are later determined to Retest Okay (RTOK) at the intermediate shop level. Reduction of the RTOK rate is a unique contribution of this system. This is achieved because of the sharper diagnostic procedures it can embody.
