Cloud Flight Management Service Stateless Object Data Sync

The patent introduces a cloud-based server as an intermediary between the FMS and external systems. The server hosts the FMS application and provides cloud storage for flight data, enabling remote access and distributed computing while keeping the onboard system simple. The server acts as a mediator that handles complex data management, analytics, and multi-user access without requiring changes to the core FMS architecture.

The cloud-based server provides universal access to flight data for multiple users simultaneously. The system supports concurrent access by pilots, ground personnel, and other stakeholders through web-based interfaces and mobile devices. The server manages data synchronization and version control, enabling collaborative work without requiring physical presence in the cockpit or repeated data entry.

The system enables preliminary data entry and flight plan preparation through web-based interfaces before the actual flight operations. Ground personnel can input flight data, update procedures, and prepare documentation in advance through the cloud server. This preliminary action reduces the workload during critical flight phases while maintaining data integrity through server-side validation and secure access controls.

The cloud-based server creates and manages digital copies of flight data, procedures, and historical records that can be accessed by multiple aircraft types and platforms. The system stores standardized flight data models that can be replicated and adapted for different aircraft configurations. This copying approach enables platform independence while maintaining data consistency across diverse flight operations without requiring separate systems for each aircraft type.
