A method for using an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) located on an aircraft to communicate Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) data to a remote aircraft flight data collection unit is provided. The method is directed to receiving FOQA data from one or more aircraft systems with an EFB on an aircraft while the aircraft is in-flight, and automatically transmitting the received FOQA data from the EFB to a remote aircraft flight data collection unit for analysis.
