  • a communication detection software module resident as an application on an aircraft communication management unit (CMU);

    a CMU message router in communication with the communication detection software module;

    at least one radio coupled to the communication management unit;

    a statistical model of communications traffic density for an RF zone associated with a ground station;

    wherein the communication detection software module performs a statistical analysis of a current communications traffic density of radio communications observed by the at least one radio to determine when the aircraft has a lost a communications link with the ground station.
