Claim 11:
12. A method of communicating data for an electric aircraft using a charging connector, the process comprising:
communicatively connecting a memory on an electric aircraft to selected flight components of the electric aircraft, wherein the memory is configured to store flight history data comprising data from the selected flight components;
mating a charging connector to the at least an electric aircraft port of an electric aircraft, wherein the charging connector comprises:
a housing, wherein the housing houses at least a component of the charging connector; and
a data pin configured to join conductors;

communicatively connecting, using the data pin of the charging connector, the electric aircraft port and the charging connector to conduct wired data connection, wherein the charging connector is configured to transfer the flight history data from the memory by the wired data connection;
charging, by the charging connector, at least a battery pack of the electric aircraft;
authenticating the electric aircraft once the charging connector is plugged into the electric aircraft port;
establishing, using a computing device communicatively connected to the charging connector, a data connection with the electric aircraft upon the authentication of the electric aircraft; and
receiving, using the computing device, data from the electric aircraft at a data transfer rate, wherein the received data comprises the flight history data.
