Abstract

Aircraft flight operations datalink for preparing an aircraft for flight, by a particular pilot (crew) for a particular flight plan via a portable computing device. The aircraft flight operations datalink includes a wireless data link; computer processor; data bus; an association with a flight sensor for collecting aircraft position, weather, traffic, terrain, aircraft systems status, aircraft flight envelope parameters, pilot (crew) status/condition; a display system; a ground-to-air data link; and a database of aircraft and pilot data; a flight plan; and flight conditions. In flight operations, the datalink may be utilized to relieve a pilot (crew) from performing tasks necessary to mitigate an emergency or reduce a flight operation urgency.
