9. A method for encrypted flight plan communications, the method comprising:
transmitting, at a first computing device communicatively connected to a peer-to-peer network including a second computing device, a flight plan datum to the second computing device, wherein the flight plan datum comprises:
a battery datum and a transition in style of flight datum, wherein the transition in style of flight datum includes information on a transition between rotor-based flight and fixed-wing flight; and
a digital signature of the first computing device, wherein the digital signature comprises a zero-knowledge proof;
receiving, at the first computing device, a verified flight plan from the second computing device as a function of the flight plan datum, wherein the verified flight plan is encrypted or decrypted;
decrypting, at the first computing device, the verified flight plan if the verified flight plan is encrypted; and
copying, at the first computing device, at least a portion of the verified flight plan to a ledger, wherein a copied portion of the verified flight plan permits differentiated access to the ledger, wherein the differentiated access comprises at least a first access level.
