Protocol for communicating engine data to wireless communication unit

A method for communicating engine data to a ground system, the method comprising:

• receiving, at one or more computing devices, a request to store first data in a first memory location in one or more memory devices;
• receiving, at the one or more computing devices, the first data, wherein the first data is associated with identification of an engine, and wherein the first data comprises parameterized data;
• storing, at the one or more computing devices, the first data in the first memory location;
• receiving, at the one or more computing devices, a request to store second data in a second memory location in the one or more memory devices, wherein the second memory location is reserved for data to be transmitted to the ground system;
• receiving, at the one or more computing devices, the second data;
• and
• storing, at the one or more computing devices, the second data in the second memory location.

A system for communicating engine data to a ground system, the system comprising:

• one or more memory devices;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• receive a request to store first data in a first memory location in the one or more memory devices;
• receive the first data, wherein the first data is associated with identification of an engine, and wherein the first data comprises parameterized data;
• store the first data in the first memory location;
• receive a request to store second data in a second memory location in the one or more memory devices, wherein the second memory location is reserved for data to be transmitted to the ground system;
• receive the second data;
• and
• store the second data in the second memory location.
