Data Communications Program 2 Federal Aviation Administration September 20, 2011 Agenda System Engineering Action Item –Review and Discuss CPDLC Disconnect after Takeoff –DCL Clearance Delivery Time – ATC Discussion Review the DCL Services description –UM80 Initial DCL –UM79 & UM83 Revised Clearances –Make recommendations to End-To-End Use Case Review and Discuss Flight Deck Procedures –CPDLC LOGON for Trial –FMS Loading –FMS RTE and LEGS Checking requirements Catalog Airline Specific Aircraft Capability: –ATS Print Functionality Discussion –Nav Data Base Configuration – Customized for airline operations? –Integrated FMS Capability – Open Discussion Discuss MITRE DCL Demo of Initial and Revised Clearance

Data Communications Program 3 Federal Aviation Administration September 20, 2011 Disconnecting CPDLC Link System Engineering Action Item –Review and Discuss CPDLC Disconnect after Takeoff Boeing and Airbus differences –Boeing always notifies the flight crew with a Aural and Visual cockpit indication of CPDLC status - Termination –Airbus does not alert the flight crew of CPDLC termination when your session has been discontinued – display status –Ground System will send a CPDLC system level message that the CPDLC session has been Discontinued after Takeoff Aircrew will be notified Options for this message are Altitude or Time or Pilot Initiated Log Off –Altitude Advantage: Predictable and can be set to not interfere with other flight crew activities (Checklist, Sterile Cockpit) –Time/Handoff: Handoff can vary due to other controller / ground system activities, Time is a variable set in the ground system D+3min –Pilot Initiated Log Off: Time Consuming, changes flight deck procedures Recommendation: Altitude FT MSL. 2 nd Option – Time Adaptable handoff D+10 Mins –DCL Clearance Delivery Time – ATC Discussion Flight Deck request an earlier delivery of DCL clearance changed from 30 mins to a DCL Clearance Delivery of 45 mins prior to Proposed Departure Time Recommendation: Flight Deck requires DCL Clearance Delivery 45 mins prior to Proposed Departure Time - Tower will investigate, Spurious messages will be investigated for occasional revised messages

Data Communications Program 4 Federal Aviation Administration September 20, 2011 Review the DCL Services description UM80 Initial DCL –Analysis is Complete ATC working group working with FAA Tower to determine if modification will be necessary for the following: –EXP ALT WI 10 MINS –DEP FREQ Recommendation: No changes, continue with current solution UM79, UM83 and UM80 Revised Clearances –Action is to recommend to the DCIT any further Flight Deck concerns or needs Coordinate with ATC working Group concerning any issues Recommendation: No changes, continue with current solution Make input to End-To-End Use Case –Format Descriptions were submitted for DCIT review Recommendation: Input to the End2End was completed from flight deck working group
