1. An interface for use in transmitting data from an aircraft, comprising:
a first connector configured for physically and removably coupling a communication module to a communication system which obtains the data on-board the aircraft from at least one data source within the aircraft; and
a second connector for digitally coupling the communication module to a processing unit of the communication module producing at least one message for transmission based on the data, the at least one message comprising information of interest identified based on the data;
wherein the interface is configured for conducting the at least one message from the processing unit to at least one radio via the second connector.
