1. A method, executed by a processor, for autonomous monitoring and reporting of aircraft surface state for aircraft operating at an airport, comprising:

  • the processor receiving digital signals information from sensors located on a mobile device onboard an airplane departing the airport;

    the processor verifying an identification of the airplane and flight and identifying an expected departure sequence of aircraft surface states;

    the processor monitoring, identifying, and analyzing additional digital signals information received from the mobile device, comprising;

    identifying aircraft movement events, comprising;

    receiving aircraft sound signature data from and collected by the mobile device;

    comparing the aircraft sound signature data to known data;

    determining aircraft movement events based on the comparison,receiving aircraft motion data from and collected by the mobile device;

    analyzing the aircraft motion data; and

    determining aircraft movement events based on the analysis,logging the aircraft movement events, anddetermining the logged aircraft movement events correspond to events indicative of an aircraft surface state;

    the processor directing transmission of an aircraft surface state reached message to Local and Center flight management; and

    the processor executing a statistical routine and providing statistical data from the execution relating to an occurrence of expected upcoming aircraft surface state events and directing transmission of the statistical data with the aircraft surface state reached message.
