Description

This project intends to demonstrate how commercial flights can be seamlessly conducted through the continental controlled airspace by making extensive use of Controller Pilot Data Link Communications for any kind of routine operation such as clearances, hand over and routing instructions. It also provides the flight with closed-loop instructions (i.e. CTA) to take advantage of the new Flight Management System capabilities to fly precise 4D trajectories.

Benefits

Enhancing the use of CPDLC in order to increase safety on board and on the ground by reducing radio frequency congestion.
