B1 Backwards Compatibility CSG October 2012, Long Beach, CA, USA F. Picard, EGIS AVIA
CSG Actions from P15 P15-5 : Should B1 BC requiremens moved into a separate standard ? P15-6 : CSG to provide a table(s) to correlate each possible operational configuration with the applicable Interoperability document sections(s). (This may include updating the “red/blue/green” diagram). P15-7 : How does the CPDLC ASN.1 reflect the BC requirements ? A CSG review of INTEROP Part 3 is required Only 7 comments received P-15 Maastricht June 12

Rules for accommodating REPORT REQUEST from the ground when the datalink REPORT is not supported by the B1 A/C: The ground sends a REPORT REQUEST The Pilot responds by WILCO and the dialogue is “technically” closed When conditions are met, the flight crew will provide the REPORT using voice Is acceptable to initiate a dialogue via Datalink and to provide the requested “Data” via Voice?
