Embodiments are directed to obtaining data associated with at least one aircraft flight parameter when an aircraft is being operated in flight; processing the data to determine that the at least one aircraft flight parameter indicates a change in value in an amount greater than a threshold; and decoupling a load from the aircraft based on determining that the at least one aircraft flight parameter indicates the change in value in the amount greater than the threshold.
