Claim:
1. A method for synchronizing data in a mobile platform including a flight computer without using the flight computer for the data synchronization, comprising: receiving a first synchronization signal at a first remote interface unit apart from the flight computer from a signal generator at a first time; receiving a second synchronization signal at a second remote interface unit apart from the flight computer that is different than the first remote interface unit, the second synchronization signal being received from the signal generator at a time that is identical to the first time; presenting data, to a flight computer for communication, which is synchronized based on a first and second synchronizing signal wherein the flight computer is configured for providing the data communication but not for the data synchronization; and executing a synchronization state machine of the first and second remote interface units based on the first and second synchronization signals, and without use of the flight computer, to synchronize at an identical time an output of the first remote interface unit and an output of the second remote interface unit.
