System for automated recording of aircraft flight and maintenance information and associated methods
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring aircraft operation status comprising the steps of:
- transmitting aircraft operation data from an on-board monitoring system of an aircraft while in a cruising phase of flight in at least one of a continuous transmission and a batched transmission while in flight, the form of the aircraft operation data being responsive to at least one of phase of flight, network traffic across a communication device associated with the aircraft, or network traffic across a network associated with the aircraft;
receiving aircraft operation data from the aircraft in flight;
identifying the aircraft associated with the aircraft operation data; and
recording the aircraft operation data to an aircraft database.

Abstract
A method for monitoring aircraft operation status comprising the steps of transmitting aircraft operation data from an on-board monitoring system of an aircraft while in a cruising phase of flight in at least one of a continuous transmission and a batched transmission while in flight and receiving aircraft operation data in the form of at least one of the continuous transmission and the batched transmission from the aircraft in flight, the form of the aircraft operation data being responsive to at least one of phase of flight, network traffic across a communication device associated with the aircraft, or network traffic across a network associated with the aircraft. The method further comprises identifying the aircraft associated with the aircraft operation data and recording the aircraft operation data to an aircraft database.

9. A system for aircraft flight and maintenance monitoring comprising:
-
an on-board monitoring system operable to transmit aircraft operation data in at least one of a continuous transmission and a batched transmission from the aircraft while in a cruising phase of flight; and a terrestrial computerized device comprising processing circuitry, a non-transitory memory, and a communication device; wherein the terrestrial computerized device is positioned in communication with an on-board monitoring system of an aircraft via the communication device; and wherein the on-board monitoring device is configured to transmit aircraft operation data in the form of at least one of the continuous transmission and the batched transmission responsive to at least one of phase of flight, network traffic across a communication device associated with the aircraft, or network traffic across a network associated with the aircraft, and record the aircraft operation data to the aircraft database. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

12. A method for monitoring aircraft operation status comprising the steps of:
-
transmitting aircraft operation data in at least one of a continuous transmission and a batched transmission from an on-board monitoring system of an aircraft while in a cruising phase of flight, wherein the transmitting responsively selects one of the continuous transmission and batched transmission in response to one or more factors; receiving aircraft operation data in the form of at least one of the continuous transmission and the batched transmission from the aircraft in flight at a terrestrial computerized device; identifying the aircraft associated with the aircraft operation data; and recording the aircraft operation data to an aircraft database. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
