Abstract
Methods and systems for an automated real time cabin status and position reporting system with an application on a user mobile device for initiating a request for cabin status and position, an aircraft internet connection aboard the aircraft for receiving and transmitting the request with aircraft identification, and a ground network to receive the request and aircraft identification and return real time cabin status and position reports corresponding to aircraft identification. The ground network can use transceiver receiving real time aircraft flight information from third parties, a lookup table for matching received aircraft identification with subscribing aircraft configuration data, and a processing device for executing a set of instructions for matching received aircraft identification with subscribing aircraft configuration data, processing real-time flight information corresponding to aircraft identification and compiling cabin status and position reports from corresponding aircraft configuration data and incoming real time flight information.
