    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for data collection in connection with one or more aircraft. Avionics inputs are received, at an avionics data collection platform, regarding a plurality of avionics parameters. The avionics parameters may be associated with components of the aircraft and collected by way of avionics sensors. The avionics parameters are aggregated by way of the data collection platform. The aggregated avionics parameters are multiplexed at the data collection platform. The multiplexed and aggregated plurality of avionics parameters are transmitted over loosely-coupled networking connections to an aircraft recording system. The aircraft recording system includes a network collector and an embedded microcontroller system. A prioritized aggregation of the avionics parameters is provided by way of the network collector and the embedded microcontroller system to external systems.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for offloading aircraft data. The aircraft data are received over a network data collection interface associated with an aircraft recording system (ARS). The ARS is adapted to produce aircraft-data messages via a message-broker proxy related to the data received. An associated message is received, and it is determined whether an event has occurred via an event detector process interface. Next, a tag is applied to the event based upon a determination that the event has occurred. The tagged event is then published via the message broker. A published event is received and then recorded to a file via a media recording process interface. It is then determined which data to offload from a recorded event file via a file manager. The associated data is then transmitted via a data offload pathway to a data hub.

    Abstract: Aircraft recording system configuration devices and methods are disclosed. The systems and methods provide a context-sensitive interface for rapid configuration. An aircraft recording system is operatively coupled to a data collection interface that is powered off and in an unconfigured state upon an initial installation of the aircraft recording system configuration device onboard an aircraft. A physical interface is disposed on an outer surface of the aircraft recording system configuration device, such that activating the physical interface causes an initial configuration of the aircraft recording system to be established. An indicator is further provided that disposed on the outer surface of the aircraft recording system configuration device, wherein the indicator is configured to indicate different states of the aircraft recording system.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing performant, pre-initialization data caching for capturing faults during aircraft recording system startup and writing to one or more local caches an aircraft recording system (ARS) device. One or more candidate input parameter values are captured upon power up of the aircraft recording system, the one or more candidate input parameter values associated with one or more aircraft input parameters corresponding to one or more aircraft system controls. The one or more candidate input parameter values may not have been capable of being captured prior to a full aircraft recording system initialization. An external embedded data processing system is initialized, and upon successful initialization locally cached pre-initialization aircraft data is retrieved and stored in combination with subsequently-acquired aircraft data. The one or more candidate input parameter values may be one or more fault conditions associated with the aircraft.

    Abstract: An expedited preflight readiness system for aircraft includes a power source having one or more battery modules for storing electrical power. An integrated controller is electrically and communicatively coupled with the power source for monitoring and controlling the power source to provide electrical power to aircraft subsystems. A mobile device is communicatively coupled with the integrated controller for communicating instructions to the integrated controller for initiating preflight readiness of the aircraft and for monitoring preflight readiness. A method for preconditioning an aircraft includes determining a state-of-charge of an APU and activating an environmental control subsystem for preconditioning the aircraft by adjusting a current temperature according to a preconditioning profile based on one or more of a target temperature, a target time, the current temperature, an outside air temperature, an amount of energy, and a state-of-charge of the APU.
