This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18455746 titled 'DE-ICING COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AN AIRCRAFT
Original Abstract Submitted
A system and a method include a first communication system onboard an aircraft and a control unit having one or more processors that determine that one or more ambient conditions require a de-icing event of the aircraft, determine a location of the aircraft, and a status of one or more systems of the aircraft. The first communication system establishes a bi-directional communication link with a second communication system of a de-icing system. The first communication system receives one or more command messages from the second communication system indicating a status of the de-icing event. The control unit changes one or more operating settings of the aircraft responsive to completion of the de-icing event
