A computer-implemented method includes determining via a processor in an avionics system that a personal electronic device is in communication with the avionics system, and establishing a limitation on the functionality of the personal electronic device with respect to the avionics system via the processor.

System and method for avionics integrity and protection

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.
