Systems and methods for prioritized flight data transmission

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for prioritized flight data transmission includes receiving a frame of flight data from one or more aircraft data sensors, the frame of flight data comprising a plurality of parameters collected from one or more avionics systems, associating each parameter of the plurality of parameters with a respective priority level, decomposing the frame of flight data into a plurality of flight data frame layers, wherein each flight data frame layer of the plurality of flight data frame layers comprises a subset of the plurality of parameters having respective priority levels that are equivalent, and transmitting, to a ground station, a first flight data frame layer of the plurality of flight data frame layers comprising parameters having a highest respective priority level.
