Data Link Service Areas

Data Link Challenge

We need to collaborate and focus on improving CPDLC performance.

13

Separation Reduction leads to efficient use of

airspace, cost savings for our customers and smaller environmental footprint

is dependent on improved Surveillance, Navigation and Communication

Improving Performance

Timely WILCO responses, used in performance measurements

Reduce/eliminate VHF retries in limited or non-VHF areas

Use of high speed SATCOM could bring substantial performance benefits

Improve network traffic distribution and performance

Improve internetworking between aircraft, satellite providers, service providers, and ATS units

15

Looking Forward Systems update to provide better

services include: CPDLC in Domestic airspace

ADS-C capabilities for Edmonton North Airspace

ADS-B on LEO Satellites for improved surveillance

Data Link Mandate

Separation reductions such as RLatSM (Business case analysis underway)

Tower Data Link capabilities

Better sharing of information between onboard and ATM Systems
