1. A system for providing data in a pre-determined format with minimal impact from an aircraft to an interested entity, the system comprising:
a data processing system configured to store executable code to:
receive a request for data from the interested entity, wherein the data is otherwise unavailable to the interested entity via pre-existing technology,
determine, in real-time, one or more first devices on the aircraft where the data is stored in a format that is non-compliant with the pre-determined format, one or more second devices on the aircraft where the data can be generated in the format that is non-compliant with the pre-determined format, or a combination thereof, and
retrieve the data in the format that is non-compliant with the pre-determined format from the at least one of the one or more first devices and the one or more second devices;
wherein:
at least two portions of the data include different formats that are each non-compliant with the pre-determined format; and
the executable code is further configured to:
convert the at least two portions including the different formats that are each non-compliant with the pre-determined format to the pre-determined format, and
merge the at least two portions of the requested data in retrieving the requested data for transmission to the interested entity.
