Use of data communications (Data Comm) to supplement some routine voice communications will increase efficiency, capacity, and safety. Data Comm Overview Provides data communications between the cockpit and controllers to supplement voice communications Air traffic control (ATC) clearances, instructions, traffic flow management, flight crew requests and reports Provides direct link between ground automation and flight deck avionics Transformational program critical to the success of NextGen operations Provides infrastructure supporting other NextGen programs and operational improvements Enables efficiencies not possible using current voice system CPDLC DCL New Operator Introduction | 3 Program Services Roadmap CY 14 Segment 1 Phase 1 - Tower Service Segment 1 Phase 2 - En Route Services Baselined May 2012 Baselined October 2014 To be Baselined FY2016 Avionics 16 IOC 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 Controller-Pilot Data Link (CPDLC) Departure Clearances (DCL) Transfer of Communications IOC Initial Check-In Altimeter Settings Initial En Altitudes Speeds (Limited) Route Crossing Restrictions (Limited) Services Airborne Reroutes / Go Button Controller Initiated Reroutes (Limited) Direct-to-Fix (Limited) Controller Initiated Routes (Full) Direct-to-Fix (Full) IOC Crossing Restrictions (Full) Advisory Messages Full En Route Holding Instructions Services Speeds (Full) Stuck Microphone Tailored Arrivals Beacon Codes FANS 1/A over VDL-2 transitioning to ATN Future Air Navigation System (FANS) Ground System Segment 2 - Advanced Services Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) IOC 4D Trajectories Dynamic RNP Adv Flt Int Mgt with ATC winds D-TAXI CPDLC DCL New Operator Introduction | 4 Benefits of Data Comm Throughput/Efficiency Reduce communication time between controllers & pilots Improve re-routing around weather and congestion Increase flexibility and accommodation of user requests • Delay • Fuel Burn Controller Pilot/Efficiency • Communication Time • Controller Workload Environmental • Emissions (CO2) Safety Enable NextGen Initiatives & Trajectory-Based Operations • Read/hear back errors • Loss of Comm events CPDLC DCL New Operator Introduction | 5 Departure Clearance CPDLC DCL • Cleared as filed • Flight Crew logs into airport at any time (Session established when next step occurs) • As Clearance Delivery approves flight plan, a session will be established and the clearance is sent directly to flight deck • For operators with a Flight Operations Center (FOC), dispatch copy of clearance and pilot response is sent to FOC. • Revisions to clearance • Revised clearances are sent directly to flight deck. • Able to be loaded by crew. • For operators with an FOC, dispatch copy of all revisions and pilot responses are also sent to FOC. Pre-departure Clearance (PDC) • Flight cleared as filed • PDC is delivered to operator via service provider (e.g., ARINC/SITA) • If operator has an FOC, then FOC may be responsible for getting the clearance to the flight deck • Revisions to clearance • Prior to P-30, PDC is not sent and clearance is delivered via voice. • After P-30, PDC is cancelled and new clearance is delivered via voice.

No Aircraft Departs Session Termination CPDLC DCL New Operator Introduction | 7 Operator Steps to Participation • Determine equipage • FANS 1/A and VDL Mode 2 or VDL Mode 0 (Plain Old ACARS) required • Establish or Update OpSpec A056 for Part 121, 135, 91K or OpSpec A003 for Part 129 • No OpSpec or LOA required for Part 91 operators for domestic CPDLC • File appropriate equipment code in field 10a of ICAO flight plan • J3 for FANS 1/A over VDL Mode 0 • J4 for FANS 1/A over VDL Mode 2 • File desired DAT/ code in field 18 of ICAO flight plan • Recommend DAT/1FANSP2PDC for DCL flights (can include other DAT/ characters as required) • This establishes the desired hierarchy for receiving departure clearance (e.g. DCL, then PDC, then voice) • Must include DAT/ in order to get CPDLC DCL • Distribute flight crew materials • Updates to SOP and required training bulletins • Begin use of the CPDLC DCL service. • Rolling out to 56 US sites in 2016 • Optional: Submit entry into FAA subscriber database to receive dispatch copies • Generally coordinated through flight planning service provider CPDLC DCL New Operator Introduction | 8 Data Comm Operator Documents CPDLC Departure Clearance End to End Description This document describes the Future Air Navigation System (FANS) 1/A Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) Departure Clearance (DCL) for the Data Comm system that is being deployed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 2016, from an end-to-end view.
