Operational CPDLC in the Cockpit

Overview LINK

LINK implementation is well underway The extra Capacity is required, essential to implement in time LINK provides the infrastructure for future datalink enhancements

E.g. CASCADE programme LINK is seen as a necessary step towards SESAR Continued co-ordination with FAA is ongoing

Was in place with FAA CPDLC Programme Continues in PARC/ Datalink Roadmap initiative

Using ATN and VDL2

Implementing Rule for Data Link Services

European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation

Milestones of Data Link Services Mandate

The European Commission, gave a Mandate to EUROCONTROL for the development of an Implementing Rule (IR) for Datalink Services on 30th May 2005

Delivery of Initial Plan 15 July 2005

Delivery of Regulatory Approach January 2006

Draft final report including proposed draft Implementing Rule

May 2006

Delivery of the final report including the draft Implementing Rule and the justification material
