Abstract: An aircraft monitoring system includes an avionics communication bus structure, at least one network member user device that transmits a broadcast message onto the avionics communication bus structure, and at least one non-member user device that receives the broadcast message transmitted onto the avionics communication bus, processes the received broadcast message, and transmits output data to a monitoring device. The at least one non-member user device includes a bus interface, and a field programmable gate array (FPGA) that communicates with the bus interface. The FPGA is programmed to function as a main finite state machine that processes the broadcast message from the bus interface, and a transfer finite state machine that generates output data and transfers the generated output data to an output processor that communicates with the monitoring device. The monitoring device outputs a monitored data report.
