US Patent 12089042 Systems and methods for aircraft communication with off-board systems

A system for aircraft communication includes an on-board computing device. The on-board computing device includes a first network interface, a second network interface, a third network interface, and a processor. The first network interface is configured to communicate via a wireless access point with a portable computing device. The second network interface is configured to communicate with a flight deck information network. The third network interface is configured to communicate via an off-board network with an off-board server. The processor is configured to route first data from the second network interface to the portable computing device via the first network interface. The first data includes aircraft flight information. The processor is also configured to, concurrently with routing the first data, route second data from the off-board server via the third network interface to the portable computing device via the first network interface.
