A data logging and transmission device is provided for an electric aircraft, having a charging port for on-ground charging of an energy storage system of an electric propulsion system of the aircraft. The device comprises: a control unit 206, a data storage unit 214, a data transmitter 212, and a sensor 204 configured to detect connection of the charging port of the electric aircraft to a ground-side charger 224 and then issue a trigger signal to the control unit. The control unit is configured such that in a state of flight of the electric aircraft, the control unit collects inflight data from the electric aircraft and saves the inflight data to the data storage unit. The control unit is also configured such that in a state of on-ground charging of the electric aircraft, the control unit, on receipt of the trigger signal, commands the data transmitter to transmit the inflight data saved on the data storage unit to a remote receiver. The sensor may be a relay and may be configured to issue the trigger signal to the control unt continuously while the charging port is connected to the ground side charger.
