A system for managing the data of an aircraft includes a device of avionics type installed in the aircraft, the installed device being: connectable to an electrical power source of avionics type; connectable to the avionics data bus; comprising a docking support; a removable device of non-avionics type being able to be fixed onto the docking support, the removable device comprising computation and storage resources for the processing of avionics data and, optionally, wireless communication. Developments of the invention describe electrical isolation mechanisms, the facility to cut any wireless communication, in particular cellular, of the removable device, the control and/or the updating of the removable device by ground teams. Method and software aspects are described.

Removable computer for aircraft

A computer implemented method for managing alarm and maintenance messages of an aircraft, comprises collecting information relating to the alarm, aircraft status and maintenance messages; transmitting the information collected to an electronic device of EFB or electronic flight bag type, the electronic device being able to correlate the alarm messages with the maintenance messages and to associate the descriptions of the alarms with links and electronic maintenance documents. Developments describe notably the extracting of data from images or audio streams; listening to the communications on an avionics bus between the centralized maintenance system CMS and the printing service Printer and/or ground equipment of AGARS or VHF type; and the establishing of links with the electronic documentation and the use of an electronic flight bag EFB.
