  "textContent": "A system and method for offloading Future Air Navigation System (FANS) and Automated Dependent Surveillance-Contract (ADS-C) functionality from the flight management system (FMS) to an aircraft-based communications management unit (CMU) receives intent data outputs (116) from the FMS (102), each intent data output including aircraft state and trajectory intent data. Based on the received intent data outputs, the CMU (104) generates a dynamic route representation (200) approximating the aircraft route, inferring and connecting waypoints without otherwise querying the FMS (102) or the pilot for additional data. The CMU (104) receives inbound messages related to ADS-C contracts established with the aircraft by air traffic control (ATC) ground stations (114) and, based on the dynamic route, generates and transmits any necessary ADS-C reports to the ATC ground stations (114). Further, the CMU (104) queries aircraft-based absolute and relative navigational systems to verify navigational system availability and accuracy status with each ADS-C report.",
