Zusammenfassung:A method for communicating using an architecture compatible with a multi-function control and display unit (MCDU) onboard an aircraft is provided. The method intercepts MCDU format communications transmitted by a plurality of avionics systems to the MCDU using a plurality of MCDU communication connections, by at least one processor; presents the intercepted MCDU format communications, via a graphical user interface (GUI) presented by a display device communicatively coupled to the at least one processor; receives user input data via the GUI, wherein the user input data comprises at least one of data entry, user selections, and user commands associated with the plurality of avionics systems; and transmits the user input data to the plurality of avionics systems using the plurality of MCDU communication connections, by a communication device communicatively coupled to the at least one processor.
