Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a system and method for establishing a secured wireless connection allowing the exchange of information between a wireless device and aircraft equipment. The secured wireless access system may require a user controlling the wireless device to interact with an onboard interface to initiate a connection. The user may be further required to enter a randomly generated security passcode to pair the mobile device to the aircraft equipment. Further security measures may be implemented, such as tiered user access levels restricting certain equipment and/or information based upon a user identity of the user requesting access.
