Overview History Status Standards Baseline Regulation Eurocontrol Specification Community Specification ESSIP This will provide a planning tool for stakeholder implementation as well as a mechanism for stakeholder implementation progress to be monitored

LINK 2000+ Objectives Implementing En-route CPDLC over ATN/VDL2 Baseline ICAO standards Forward compatible with new services/technology Programme Objectives Above FL285 ACL – ATC Clearances ACM – ATC Microphone Check ACM – ATC Communications Management This shows the scope of the LINK 2000+ Programme and the SES Datalink Implementing Rule (IR). MAAS UAC has been operational since 2003 Key IR Dates LINK Region in yellow by Feb 2013 Rest of EU by Feb 2015 New Aicraft by Jan 2011 Retrofit by Jan 2015

3 - Step Approach to Implementation Pioneers Objective: 100+ aircraft equipped/ MAAS UAC Achieved: 400+ aircraft recruited/ MAAS UAC operational Incentives Objective: accelerate Airborne equipage to gain early benefits, return on investment EU agrees in principle Mandatory Implementation (SES IR) For Operators and ANSPs Objective: more than 75% of flights in LINK airspace by 2014 Pioneers Incentives Mandate 1 2 3

Pioneer Success Lufthansa Lufthansa CityLine 15 Airlines > 400 Airframes (many more are VDL M2) Rockwell, Honeywell and Airbus all Certified

2 - Step Incentive Scheme equipage Forward fit Retro fit Mandatory Carriage 75% Incentives b – Route Charge scheme Earlier Benefits Better flight profiles Less misunderstandings Higher Productivity Less delay Pioneers 25% a – Public funds - first 25% Combined Scheme ANSPs 2008/9 2011 2013 2015

Mandatory Implementation Always part of the LINK 2000+ implementation strategy Single European Sky provided the mechanism - and it also applies to the ANSPs!

It Took 3 Years 5 Months May 2005 EC gave EUROCONTROL a Mandate to Develop an Implementing Rule (IR) for Datalink Services Adoption DELIVERY Initial Plan Feb 06 RA Consult Regulatory Approach May 06 RA Delivery Draft IR RU Update Q3 07 IR Delivery SSC LAW Q2 07 IR Consult

Done!
