Abstract
A method for providing flight information to a ground server is provided. The flight information is received from an aircraft system. The flight information is converted into a graphical representation and a plurality of properties associated with the flight information. The graphical representation and the plurality of properties is stored. The graphical representation and the plurality of properties is processed to generate a compressed graphical representation and plurality of properties having a compressed file size. The compressed plurality of properties is transmitted to the ground server.
