Abstract: A method for uploading flight data into one or more avionics systems onboard an aircraft is provided. The method establishes a communication connection to one or more remote servers; downloads a set of flight data via the communication connection; transmits the set of flight data to a wireless access point storage device onboard the aircraft; receives wireless data transmissions comprising the set of flight data, wherein the wireless access point storage device is communicatively coupled to a data loader device, and wherein the data loader device is communicatively coupled to one or more avionics systems onboard the aircraft; extracts the set of flight data from the wireless access point storage device inserted into a storage device reader of the data loader device, wherein the extracting is performed by the data loader device; and transmits the set of flight data to the one or more avionics systems.

Abstract: A vehicle having a doppler based cellular navigation system is provided. The vehicle includes a radio frequency (RF) antenna, an RF receiver in communication with the RF antenna, a memory and a controller. The memory includes a ground-based RF emitter database with ground-based RF emitter location information. The controller is in communication with the RF receiver and the memory. The controller is configured to monitor a doppler shift in received RF signals from ground-based RF emitters. The controller is further configured to determine location information when the controller detects a doppler shift in a received RF signal of zero. The controller is further configured to implement the determined location information in navigating a vehicle.
