Abstract

Maintenance error such as failure of fan cowl door opening is one of the causes of aircraft accidents. In this research, we aim to develop an augmented reality application that allows the animation of each maintenance procedure of fan cowl door opening to be superimposed on the fan cowl door of aircraft. The marker detectability of the augmented reality application is checked based on different camera angles and distances. Hence, by using the developed application, the aircraft maintenance technician can interpret the information of the fan cowl door opening procedure in the form of texts, three-dimensional models and animations.
