    Abstract: Systems and methods for modifying multiple element request datalink messages in avionics system are provided. A method includes generating a plurality of downlink message element information at a verify screen displayed by a display. The method further allows for the changing of at least one downlink message element information of the plurality of downlink message element information within the verify screen. Moreover, the method concatenates the plurality of downlink message element information after the changing of the at least one element information in preparation of generating a concatenating downlink message element information message to be downlinked.

    Abstract: A vehicle communication system including a communication management unit (CMU) and a data gateway is provided. The CMU is at least in part configured to route first type messages using a first type message communication. The data gateway is configured to communicate second type messages to a remote location. The CMU is configured to route at least some of the first type messages to the data gateway. The data gateway is configured to communicate a pseudo acknowledgment for each message block of each first type message routed to the data gateway back to the CMU indicating the message block was received by a designated remote location. The data gateway is further configured to interface each received first type message into the second type message and communicate each second type message to the designated remote location using a second type of message communication.

    Abstract: A communication system in an aircraft is described. The communication system includes a CMU that is coupled to at least one safety subnetwork and an AOIP computing device. The AOIP computing device is coupled to at least one non-safety subnetwork. The AOIP computing device determines whether ACARS messages received from the CMU are ACARS safety messages or ACARS non-safety messages. The AOIP computing device monitors CMU status messages from the CMU. In response to the AOIP computing device receiving an ACARS safety message, the AOIP computing device periodically transmits a second status message indicating that the AOIP computing device is unavailable. In response to determining that at least one safety subnetwork is available, the AOIP computing device stops periodically transmitting the second status message and transmits a first status message indicating that the AOIP computing device is available.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for enhanced subnetwork preference logic are herein provided. In certain implementations, a method for transmitting messages over a datalink communication system includes identifying a location of a first communication unit; and identifying an altitude of the first communication unit. Further, the method includes selecting a sub-network preference for the first communication unit for communicating between the first communication unit and one or more other communication units, wherein the sub-network preference is selected based on the location and the altitude of the first communication unit, wherein the sub-network preference identifies one or more sub-networks in order of preference; and transmitting one or more messages to the one or more other communication units through a sub-network that is a most preferred sub-network as indicated by the selected sub-network preference and available for communications.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing air traffic control center data to aircraft is provided. In certain embodiments an avionics system includes a communication device configured to communicate with a data center and an air traffic control center; and a processing unit configured to execute machine readable instructions. In at least one embodiments, the machine readable instructions cause the processing unit to manage communications associated with the flight of an aircraft, wherein the communications are communicated through the communication device with the data center; distinguish identifying information received through the communication device, wherein the identifying information identifies at least one of the air traffic control center and associated aeronautical telecommunications network address; and establish a communication session with the air traffic control center using the identifying information received through the communication device.
