Abstract
Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments are provided for an aircraft flight crew secure communication path to multiple aircraft data domains. In one example, a system includes one or more data interface devices configured to communicate data. A power module is configured to provide power to the one or more data interface devices, and a switch coupled between the power module and each of the one or more data interface devices is configured to selectively provide power from the power module to at least one of the one or more data interface devices. A data transceiver is configured to couple to an external communication device, and a controller coupled between the one or more data interface devices and the data transceiver is configured to provide a data communication path between the selectively powered data interface device and the data transceiver for the external communication device.
