Abstract: An onboard system establishes a first-EFB connection between a first electronic flight bag (EFB) and an aircraft interface device (AID), and establishes a first-EFB session between the first EFB and a flight management computer (FMC) based on a session identifier for the first EFB. The first-EFB connection is associated with a first-EFB connection identifier for the first EFB, and the first-EFB session is established over the first-EFB connection in accordance with the first-EFB connection identifier. The onboard system establishes a second-EFB connection between a second EFB and the AID, and establishes a second-EFB session between the second EFB and the FMC based on a session identifier for the second EFB. The second-EFB connection is associated with a second-EFB connection identifier for the second EFB, and the second-EFB session is established over the second-EFB connection in accordance with the second-EFB connection identifier.

Abstract: A system, computer-readable medium, and a method including obtaining flight data for a prescribed flight from at least one of an airborne system of a particular aircraft to execute the prescribed flight and a system other than the airborne system of the particular aircraft having a source of data related to the prescribed flight, the flight data including specific details relating to at least one of the particular aircraft and parameters of the prescribed flight; performing, by a processor of an external computational asset and based on the obtained flight data, a control optimization to generate optimized path specific controls for the prescribed flight; transmitting the optimized path specific controls via a communication uplink from the external computational asset to the particular aircraft; and guiding, in response to receiving the optimized path specific controls by the particular aircraft, the particular aircraft in accordance with the optimized path specific controls to execute the prescribed flight.
