Abstract
Systems and methods for recording and communicating engine data are provided. One example embodiment is directed to a method for communicating with a ground system. The method includes receiving engine data. The method includes storing the engine data. The method includes receiving one or more phase signals. The method includes determining that the one or more phase signals indicate that a transmission to the ground system is allowed. The method includes transmitting the engine data to the ground system in response to the determination.
Claims20
A wireless communication unit comprising:
- one or more memory devices;
- and
- one or more processors configure to:
- receive engine data;
- store the engine data;
- receive one or more phase signals, wherein the one or more phase signals comprise engine data;
- determine that the one or more phase signals indicate that a transmission to the ground system is allowed;
- and
- transmit the engine data to the ground system in response to the determination.
A method for communicating with a ground system comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computing devices, engine data;
- storing, by the one or more computing devices, the engine data;
- receiving, by the one or more computing devices, one or more phase signals, wherein the one or more phase signals comprise data indicative of a motion of an aerial vehicle;
- determining, by the one or more computing devices, that the one or more phase signals indicate that a transmission to the ground system is allowed;
- and
- transmitting, by the one or more computing devices, the engine data to the ground system in response to the determination.
A system for communicating with a ground system comprising:
- one or more memory devices;
- and
- one or more processors configure to:
- receive engine data;
- store the engine data;
- receive one or more phase signals, wherein the one or more phase signals comprise data indicative of a flight phase transition;
- determine that the one or more phase signals indicate that a transmission to the ground system is allowed;
- and
- transmit the engine data to the ground system in response to the determination.
