Built-in-Test (BIT) capability in aircraft electronic equipment has the potential to reduce maintenance effort and increase aircraft availability. This paper describes a BIT monitoring scheme used on a high performance fighter aircraft to detect and isolate faults in the electrical generation equipment. An overview of the BIT monitor is given, along with a detailed analysis of a typical subsystem BIT equation. The results and method of test for a hardware BIT demonstration are detailed. Some ideas and an example of improving the display of maintenance information by the use of graphic display devices are presented. Finally, some techniques are explored for simplifying the detection and isolation of electrical system faults through the use of remote diagnostic tools.
