Line replaceable unit aircraft data prediction and configuration

A method of storing data in a line replaceable unit (LRU), the method comprising:

• receiving, at a data communication interface of the LRU, identification (ID) data deliver from an aircraft communication bus;
• delivering aircraft system data from at least one aircraft system to an aircraft systems interface of the LRU;
• delivering LRU data corresponding indicative of the operation of the LRU to an LRU data interface of the LRU;
• processing, using a processor of the LRU, the aircraft systems data and the LRU data and determine at least one data category;
• combining, using the processor, the ID data with one or both of the aircraft systems data and the LRU data to generate at least one configuration data package corresponding to the at least one data category;
• assigning each data partition among a plurality of different data partitions included in a memory unit to given data category among a plurality of different data categories;
• determining a time at which the aircraft systems data was received based on the time stamp data;
• determining a flight event based on the aircraft systems data;
• assigning a time stamp to the flight event indicating a time at which the flight event occurred;
• generating at least one configuration data package by combining the ID data with one or both of the aircraft systems data and the LRU data;
• and
• storing, by the processor, the at least one configuration data package in the given data partition among the plurality of different data partitions of the memory unit that is assigned to the data category of the at least one configuration data package.

A line replaceable unit (LRU) comprising:

• a data communication interface configured to receive identification (ID) data from an aircraft communication bus and to receive aircraft systems data output from at least one sensor, the ID data including time stamp data;
• an aircraft systems interface configured to receive aircraft systems data corresponding to an operation of at least one aircraft system;
• an LRU data interface configured to receive LRU data, the LRU data indicating at least one of a status and a configuration of the LRU;
• a processor in signal communication with the data communication interface, the processor configured to process the aircraft systems data and the LRU data and determine at least one flight event category;
• and
• a memory unit in signal communication with the processor, the memory unit including a plurality of data partitions, each of the plurality of data partitions are assigned to a given flight event category among a plurality of different flight event categories,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• determine a time at which the aircraft systems data was received based on the time stamp data,
• determine a flight event based on the aircraft systems data;
• assign a time stamp to the flight event indicating a time at which the flight event occurred;
• generate a configuration data package including flight event data indicative of the flight event and the time stamp data indicating the date and time at which the flight event occurred;
• and
• store the configuration data package in a given data partition among a plurality of different data partitions that is assigned to the flight event category matching the flight event included in the configuration data package.
