Abstract
Techniques are described to simplify operation and maintenance of an aircraft by configuring an avionics unit to wirelessly communicate and receive avionics related data in a seamless fashion. In embodiments, an aircraft is equipped with a regulatory-certified avionics device configured to be installed in the aircraft. The system includes a memory card reader and associated memory card. The memory card includes a wireless transceiver to facilitate communication between the avionics unit and a mobile device (e.g., a tablet computer or smart phone employing a suitable application, a portable avionic device, etc.).
