Abstract
An aircraft communication system includes an aircraft component, an Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) unit, an Onboard Maintenance System (OMS), and a switch. The switch routes data provided by the aircraft component via a first communications protocol to the IMA unit, and mirrors the routed data to the OMS via a second communications protocol. The OMS processes and stores the received data, part of the received data, or the results of said processing.
