Abstract: A system and method for compiling and converting Aeronautical Radio Incorporated (ARINC) 424 or Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF) files into a binary database. The system and method include a controller module for receiving, extracting, converting, performing a set of quality checks, and directing the output or communication of the binary database to a remote server. The remote server can include a controller module that can verify validity of the communicated binary database and create aircraft loadable media for a flight management system navigational database.

Abstract: A portable, hand-held computer functions as an intermediary between a database server and individual aircraft when the aircraft cannot be connected to the database server. By virtue of being portable and being locally linked (over time) to different aircraft, the intermediary computing device can provide the data upload validation and auditing for accurate billing of database usage for a flight database provided from the server. This ensures that each aircraft which receives an uploaded database is entitled to receive the upload based on a paid license. As a result, billing by the database vendor is based on usage. Licensing and data authentication is mediated by the intermediary computing device.

Abstract: A method to validate a flight plan for an aircraft includes receiving aviation data, determining a flight plan based on the aviation data; determining a set of flight parameters for the flight plan, receiving terrain data, and performing a safety validation of the flight plan, wherein the safety validation comprises: comparing the set of flight parameters with the terrain data; and determining, based on the comparison, whether the flight plan satisfies predetermined flight criteria, and in the event of a determination that the flight plan does not satisfy the predetermined flight criteria, displaying a first notification indicative of the determination.
