A method and apparatus for operating an aircraft. An aircraft system comprises a housing, a standby aircraft management system, and a backup power system. The standby aircraft management system is associated with the housing and is configured to provide communications, navigation, and control of a number of aircraft systems needed for safe flight and landing of an aircraft in which the standby aircraft management system is located. The backup power system is configured to supply power to the standby aircraft management system when the power is unavailable from the aircraft.

1. An aircraft system comprising: a housing;a standby aircraft management system associated with the housing and configured to provide communications, navigation, and control of a number of aircraft systems needed for flight and landing of an aircraft in which the standby aircraft management system
1. An aircraft system comprising: a housing;a standby aircraft management system associated with the housing and configured to provide communications, navigation, and control of a number of aircraft systems needed for flight and landing of an aircraft in which the standby aircraft management system is located when at least one of: a network, configured to connect avionics in the aircraft to systems in the aircraft, does not operate as desired; and a power bus system is unable to provide a desired level of power to the network;a number of direct connections configured to exchange information between the standby aircraft management system and the number of aircraft systems when the network does not work as desired, such that the number of aircraft systems comprises a standby aircraft system that only operates when a primary aircraft system does not function as desired; anda backup power system configured to supply power to the standby aircraft management system when the power is unavailable from the aircraft, such that the housing, the standby aircraft management system, and the backup power system are located in at least one of: a tablet computer, and an electronic flight bag. 2. The aircraft system of claim 1, wherein the standby aircraft management system comprises: a location system configured to identify location information for the aircraft during flight of the aircraft;a navigator configured to store a flight plan for the aircraft, receive the location information, and display navigation information using the flight plan, the location information, and the navigation information;a communications system;a systems controller configured to control at least a portion of the number of aircraft systems; andan interface configured to receive data from the number of aircraft systems using the number of direct connections to the number of aircraft systems and send commands to the at least the portion of the number of aircraft systems. 3. A standby aircraft management system comprising: a housing;a location system associated with the housing, wherein the location system is configured to identify location information for an aircraft during flight of the aircraft;an interface associated with the housing and configured to receive data from a number of aircraft systems using a network interface comprising direct connections to the number of aircraft systems, the network interface being distinct from a first network, the first network configured to connect avionics in the aircraft to systems in the aircraft, and such that the number of aircraft systems comprises a standby aircraft system that only operates when a primary aircraft system does not function as desired; anda navigator associated with the housing and configured to store a flight plan for the aircraft, receive the location information, and display navigation information using the flight plan, the location information, and the data, such that the housing, the location system, the network interface, and the navigator are each part of a device selected from at least one of: a tablet computer, an electronic flight bag, a mobile phone, and a laptop computer. 4. The standby aircraft management system of claim 3, further comprising: a communications system located in the housing. 5. The standby aircraft management system of claim 3, further comprising: a systems controller configured to control at least a portion of the number of aircraft systems. 6. The standby aircraft management system of claim 5, further comprising the interface configured to send commands to the at least the portion of the number of aircraft systems. 7. The standby aircraft management system of claim 5, wherein the at least the portion of the number of aircraft systems is selected from at least one of: a fuel system, a hydraulics system, an auxiliary power unit, an environmental control system, a very high frequency transceiver, a satellite antenna, and an intercom system. 8. The standby aircraft management system of claim 5, further comprising the at least the portion of the number of aircraft systems configured to provide desired flight of the aircraft. 9. The standby aircraft management system of claim 3, further comprising: a battery system. 10. The standby aircraft management system of claim 3, further comprising the navigator configured to receive waypoints for the flight plan in response to an event in which the navigation information comprises the waypoints and a location of the aircraft with respect to the waypoints. 11. The standby aircraft management system of claim 3, wherein the location system comprises a global positioning system receiver and a global positioning system antenna. 12. A method for operating an aircraft, the method comprising: receiving location information from a location system associated with a standby aircraft management system;receiving data from a number of aircraft systems through a network interface connected to the number of aircraft systems such that the number of aircraft systems comprises a standby aircraft system that only operates when a primary aircraft system does not function as desired, and the network interface being distinct from a first network, the first network configured to connect avionics in the aircraft to systems in the aircraft;generating navigation information using: a flight plan stored in the standby aircraft management system for the aircraft, the location information, and the data, such that the location system, the network interface, and the flight plan each comprised by a device selected from at least one of: a tablet computer, an electronic flight bag, a mobile phone, and a laptop computer;displaying the navigation information on a display device; andoperating the aircraft using the navigation information via a number of direct connections exchanging information between the standby aircraft management system and the number of aircraft systems when the first network does not work as desired, such that the number of aircraft systems comprises the standby aircraft system that only operates when the primary aircraft system does not function as desired. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the standby aircraft management system further comprises a communications system located in a housing. 14. The method of claim 12, further comprising: controlling at least a portion of the number of aircraft systems using a systems controller in the standby aircraft management system. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the at least the portion of the number of aircraft systems further comprise a fuel system, a hydraulics system, an auxiliary power unit, an environmental control system, a very high frequency transceiver, a satellite antenna, and an intercom system. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the location system comprises a global positioning system receiver and a global positioning system antenna. 17. The method of claim 12, wherein displaying the navigation information on the display device comprises: displaying waypoints and a location of the aircraft with respect to the waypoints.
