Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide an aircraft health monitoring system having an in-flight controller. The controller is configured to, responsive to a determination that an aircraft is in-flight, access a sensor network system of the aircraft to generate in-flight system health (IFSH) information. A transmission operation is initiated that transmits the IFSH information through a wireless communications path to a ground-based flight monitoring system. The ground-based flight monitoring system is operable to initiate an aircraft management operation associated with the aircraft.
