Abstract: An expedited preflight readiness system for aircraft includes a power source having one or more battery modules for storing electrical power. An integrated controller is electrically and communicatively coupled with the power source for monitoring and controlling the power source to provide electrical power to aircraft subsystems. A mobile device is communicatively coupled with the integrated controller for communicating instructions to the integrated controller for initiating preflight readiness of the aircraft and for monitoring preflight readiness. A method for preconditioning an aircraft includes determining a state-of-charge of an APU and activating an environmental control subsystem for preconditioning the aircraft by adjusting a current temperature according to a preconditioning profile based on one or more of a target temperature, a target time, the current temperature, an outside air temperature, an amount of energy, and a state-of-charge of the APU.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for data collection in connection with one or more aircraft. Avionics inputs are received, at an avionics data collection platform, regarding a plurality of avionics parameters. The avionics parameters may be associated with components of the aircraft and collected by way of avionics sensors. The avionics parameters are aggregated by way of the data collection platform. The aggregated avionics parameters are multiplexed at the data collection platform. The multiplexed and aggregated plurality of avionics parameters are transmitted over loosely-coupled networking connections to an aircraft recording system. The aircraft recording system includes a network collector and an embedded microcontroller system. A prioritized aggregation of the avionics parameters is provided by way of the network collector and the embedded microcontroller system to external systems.

Abstract: An expedited preflight readiness system for aircraft includes a power source having one or more battery modules for storing electrical power. An integrated controller is electrically and communicatively coupled with the power source for monitoring and controlling the power source to provide electrical power to aircraft subsystems. A mobile device is communicatively coupled with the integrated controller for communicating instructions to the integrated controller for initiating preflight readiness of the aircraft and for monitoring preflight readiness. A method for preconditioning an aircraft includes determining a state-of-charge of an APU and activating an environmental control subsystem for preconditioning the aircraft by adjusting a current temperature according to a preconditioning profile based on one or more of a target temperature, a target time, the current temperature, an outside air temperature, an amount of energy, and a state-of-charge of the APU.

Abstract: Aircraft recording system configuration devices and methods are disclosed. The systems and methods provide a context-sensitive interface for rapid configuration. An aircraft recording system is operatively coupled to a data collection interface that is powered off and in an unconfigured state upon an initial installation of the aircraft recording system configuration device onboard an aircraft. A physical interface is disposed on an outer surface of the aircraft recording system configuration device, such that activating the physical interface causes an initial configuration of the aircraft recording system to be established. An indicator is further provided that disposed on the outer surface of the aircraft recording system configuration device, wherein the indicator is configured to indicate different states of the aircraft recording system.
