A line-replaceable unit (LRU) for an aircraft includes an interface configured to couple to an aircraft data bus. The LRU further includes one or more processors coupled to the interface. The one or more processors are configured to monitor communications over the aircraft data bus between a pilot interface device and a second LRU. The LRU is distinct from the second LRU and is distinct from the pilot interface device. The one or more processors are further configured to, in response to detecting a particular page being transmitted over the aircraft data bus, extract target data associated with the particular page from the aircraft data bus. The one or more processors are further configured to store the target data at a memory associated with the one or more processors.

A flight management system may include a processor, a memory, a network communication interface, and a flexible data interface stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The flexible data interface is typically configured for providing an abstract data interface layer; retrieving, via the abstract data interface layer, data stored in the memory of the flight management system; and transmitting, via the network communication device, the data to a peripheral device in network communication with the flight management system.
