Claim 18:
19. A system for mitigating data-stream dropout in a serial data-stream, the method comprising:
means for receiving, as input, a time-sequence of messages of the serial data-stream, each of the time-sequence of messages containing a data packet communicating an operation to control an aircraft;
means for determining validity of each of the time-sequence of messages received, thereby determining valid messages and invalid messages of the time-sequence of messages received;
means for predicting, after receiving each valid message, a plurality of sequential future actions based at least in part on the valid message received, wherein the plurality of sequential future operations to control the aircraft corresponds to a plurality of future messages expected to immediately follow the valid message received in the serial data-stream;
means for performing, after receiving each valid message, the action communicated by the data packet contained in the valid message received;
means for storing, after receiving each valid message, the plurality of sequential future operations to control the aircraft and
means for performing, after receiving each invalid message, a next one of the plurality of sequential future actions stored after a last valid message was received.
