  • Patent number: 11208916
    Abstract: A communication adapter of a gas turbine engine of an aircraft includes a communication interface configured to wirelessly communicate with an offboard system and to communicate with an engine control of the gas turbine engine. The communication adapter also includes a memory system and processing circuitry configured to check for a change of an identifier associated with the engine control, check for a loss of a plurality of remote dynamic data recording parameters from the engine control, and pass a request to update the remote dynamic data recording parameters from the offboard system through the communication adapter to the engine control based on detecting the change of the identifier. The processing circuitry is further configured to reload an existing configuration of the remote dynamic data recording parameters at the engine control based on determining that the loss of the remote dynamic data recording parameters has occurred.
