1. An apparatus comprising: a portable computer; andprogram code stored on the portable computer, wherein the program code is capable of being executed to establish a communications link with an aircraft network data processing system in an aircraft, obtain information about the aircraft over the communications link, display the information on a display device for the portable computer, receive user input to control a data processing system on the aircraft network data processing system in the aircraft, and send a number of commands to the data processing system in response to receiving the user input for controlling a circuit breaker and contactor process capable of obtaining and manipulating a state of circuit breakers and contactors on the aircraft, and wherein the program code is configured to access a flight control rigging process capable of rigging flight control surfaces on the aircraft and control rigging flight controls in the aircraft. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the program code comprises program code for at least one of a health and fault information process capable of accessing health and fault information on the aircraft; an aircraft system information process capable of accessing status information for the aircraft; and an aircraft support information access process capable of accessing support information for the aircraft. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the health and fault information comprises one of a failure of a line replaceable unit, a status of the line replaceable unit, a status of an electrical system. 4. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the support information comprises one of a maintenance manual, a minimum equipment list, illustrations of parts, a fault isolation manual, and an aircraft and maintenance log book. 5. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the circuit breaker and contactor process obtains and manipulates the state of circuit breakers and contactors on the aircraft through a circuit breaker indication and control in the aircraft. 6. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the support information is stored on a laptop computer. 7. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the aircraft support information access process is capable of integrating the support information with the status information accessed by the aircraft system information process. 8. An apparatus for performing maintenance operations on an aircraft, the apparatus comprising: a health and fault information process capable of accessing health and fault information on the aircraft;an aircraft system information process capable of accessing status information for the aircraft;an aircraft support information access process capable of accessing support information for the aircraft;a flight control rigging process configured to rig flight control surfaces on the aircraft;a circuit breaker and contactor process capable of obtaining and manipulating a state of circuit breakers and contactors on the aircraft; anda laptop computer, wherein the laptop computer is capable of establishing a wireless communications link with an aircraft network data processing system located within a selected distance of the laptop computer and wherein the health and fault information process, the aircraft support information access process, the aircraft system information process, the flight control rigging process, and the circuit breaker and contactor process execute on the laptop computer. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the health and fault information comprises one of a failure of a line replaceable unit, a status of the line replaceable unit, a status of an electrical system. 10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the support information comprises one of a maintenance manual, a minimum equipment list, illustrations of parts, a fault isolation manual, and an aircraft and maintenance log book. 11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the flight control rigging process is capable of controlling rigging flight controls on the aircraft through the rigging flight controls in the aircraft. 12. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the circuit breaker and contactor process obtains and manipulates the state of circuit breakers and contactors on the aircraft through a circuit breaker indication and control in the aircraft. 13. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the support information is stored on the laptop computer. 14. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the aircraft support information access process is capable of integrating the support information with the status information accessed by the aircraft system information process. 15. A method for performing maintenance operations, the method comprising: establishing a communications link with an aircraft network data processing system in an aircraft using a portable computer;receiving information at the portable computer about the aircraft from the aircraft network data processing system; andcontrolling a number of data processing systems in the aircraft using the portable computer to perform a maintenance operation including a circuit breaker and contactor process capable of obtaining and manipulating a state of circuit breakers and contactors on the aircraft and also including controlling access to a flight control rigging process capable of rigging flight control surfaces on the aircraft. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the communications link is selected from one of a wired connection and a wireless connection. 17. The method of claim 15, wherein the number of data processing systems comprises at least one of a number of line replaceable units. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the number of line replaceable units is at least one of rigging flight controls, a central server module, an electronic flight bag, cabin services, and circuit breaker and controls. 19. A computer program product for performing maintenance operations, the computer program product comprising: a non-transitory computer recordable storage medium;program code, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, for establishing a communications link with an aircraft network data processing system in an aircraft using a portable computer;program code, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, for receiving information at the portable computer about the aircraft from the aircraft network data processing system; andprogram code, stored on the computer recordable storage medium, for controlling a number of data processing systems in the aircraft using the portable computer to perform a maintenance operation including at a circuit breaker and contactor process capable of obtaining and manipulating a state of circuit breakers and contactors on the aircraft. 20. An apparatus comprising: a portable computer; andprogram code stored on the portable computer, wherein the program code is capable of being executed to establish a communications link with an aircraft network data processing system in an aircraft, obtain information about the aircraft over the communications link, display the information on a display device for the portable computer, receive user input to control a data processing system on the aircraft network data processing system in the aircraft, and send a number of commands to the data processing system in response to receiving the user input for controlling a flight control rigging process capable of rigging flight control surfaces on the aircraft.
