Patent attributes
A communication adapter of a gas turbine engine of an aircraft includes a communication interface configured to wirelessly communicate with an offboard system and to communicate with an engine control of the gas turbine engine, a memory system, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to receive an engine control dynamic data recording request from the offboard system, confirm an authentication between the communication adapter and the engine control, transfer the engine control dynamic data recording request received at the communication adapter from the offboard system to the engine control based on the authentication, and transmit an update completion confirmation of the engine control from the communication adapter to the offboard system based on a confirmation message from the engine control.
