Abstract: A device and system for transferring information from an avionics system of an aircraft to an independent computer. The device can be embedded onboard an aircraft for transferring information arising from an avionics system from the aircraft to a computer independent of the avionics system. The device includes at least one radiofrequency receiver configured to receive information which arises from the avionics system and is emitted destined for the ground or another aircraft, at least one transmitter, and a processing unit to command the transmission by the transmitter, to the computer, of at least some of the information received by the radiofrequency receiver.

Abstract: A taxiing path optimization system is provided for computing a taxi path of an aircraft using available taxi routes of a corresponding airport. An interaction means management unit manages interactions between a user and the taxiing path optimization system using an interactive device for inputting a taxi clearance. An aircraft positioning management unit manages positional information of the corresponding airport and aircraft received from a plurality of sources for augmenting an aircraft position by consolidating the aircraft position with the positional information in a complementary fashion. A taxi path display unit displays the taxi path based on the inputted taxi clearance and the augmented aircraft position, wherein the taxi path is automatically computed based on aircraft characteristics or airport capabilities.
