Abstract: A method of operating an aircraft interface device may comprise receiving a request for a data dictionary from an electronic flight bag application and transmitting the data dictionary to the electronic flight bag application. The data dictionary may comprise a mapping between a plurality of parameters associated with an aircraft and a plurality of parameter identifiers. Values of the parameters may be retrieved by the aircraft interface device. The method may also include receiving a request for values of one or more of the parameters from the electronic flight bag, retrieving values of the parameters, and transmitting the values of the parameters to the electronic flight bag application.

Abstract: A method of performing fault isolation for an aircraft comprises identifying a fault that occurs during a flight of the aircraft; identifying a first set of parameters associated with the aircraft based on the identification of the fault; automatically determining values of the first set of parameters to obtain a first set of measured values; determining whether the first set of measured values are within acceptable ranges; and identifying a source of the fault based on the determination of whether the first set of measured values are within the acceptable ranges.
