An onboard system in an aircraft records data simultaneously from a plurality of onboard products, systems, and devices. The data is recorded in response to an event trigger common to each onboard product, system, and device, and tagged with a common timestamp and stored in a centralized data store. The system compiles the data into a single dataset, synchronizing the data according to the common timestamp. The data may be modified to reflect the common timestamp where the data includes a different timecode from the original source. The data may also be modified to conform to a standard format. The dataset may be encrypted according to a standard and transmitted offboard for later analysis, or analyzed onboard if immediate analysis is required.
