Systems and methods for context based controller pilot data link communication (CPDLC) are provided. In certain implementations, a method for CPDLC includes receiving data through the selection of a selectable item on a pilot interface, wherein the pilot interface is a non-CPDLC interface and communicating the data to a CPDLC application. Further, the method also includes constructing a CPDLC message based on the data; and transmitting the CPDLC message to an air traffic controller.

Systems and methods for context based CPDLC

An aerospace communication system comprises a communication management unit; a first communication device configured to transmit and receive data over a first communication network; and a second communication device configured to transmit and receive data over a second communication network. The first communication device is coupled to a corresponding interface of the communication management unit. The second communication device is communicatively separated from the communication management unit by the first communication device such that the communication management unit is unaware of the second communication device. The first communication device includes routing logic configured to determine whether to send each message received from the communication management unit over the first communication network or to the second communication device for transmission over the second communication network.

SATCOM data unit with wireless device

Systems and methods for aircraft on-ground determination are provided. In one embodiment, an onboard motion controlled wireless avionics datalink gateway comprises: a wireless radio chipset module; and a velocity interlock coupled to an aircraft motion sensor and the wireless radio chipset module. The wireless radio chipset module is configured to establish one or more intra-aircraft radio communication links with one or more onboard avionics system, and wherein the wireless radio chipset module is configure to establish one or more external radio communication links with at least one ground-based wireless communication system. The aircraft motion sensor is configured to output to the velocity interlock an aircraft motion signal indicative of a velocity of an aircraft in which the gateway is installed. The velocity interlock enables and disables the one or more intra-aircraft radio communication links and the one or more external radio communication links based on the aircraft motion signal.
