Abstract: The present invention resides in a system, method and an article of manufacture for transmitting maintenance and diagnostic data from an aircraft. The system has an aircraft, a cellular infrastructures and a data reception unit. The aircraft has an avionics system and a communications unit. The avionics system has a plurality of line replaceable units, and the communications unit is connected to each line replaceable, unit. The cellular infrastructure is in communication with said communications unit after the aircraft has landed. The communication is initiated automatically upon the landing of the aircraft. The data reception unit is connected to the cellular infrastructure.

Abstract: An aircraft avionics software and database upload transmission/reception system using a cellular data transmission/reception system. An aircraft data communications system and method including a communications device located in an aircraft; an avionics information storage device located in the aircraft in communication with the communications device; a cellular infrastructure in communication with the communications device; and a computer remotely located from the aircraft in communication with the cellular infrastructure. The communications device and the computer establish a bi-directional communications channel via the cellular infrastructure between the communications device and the computer and initiate a data exchange therebetween.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus of processing a data file stored in a computer memory in digital form. The method including selecting a packet size that is a number of bits between one and a subframe size within an input file containing data stored in frames and subframes format, wherein the data file stored in a computer memory in digital form; separating the data into consecutive packets of the selected size; repositioning the packets located in similar positions within a frame adjacent to one another; and storing the packets in an output file for further processing by a compression algorithm. The system includes a processor for executing the method and a memory for storing an output data file. The apparatus including a computer readable medium having computer executable instructions thereon for executing the method.
