CONTROLLER PILOT DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS (OPTIONAL)
The CPDLC (Controller Pilot Data Link Communications) system provides data link
communication between the aircraft and an Air Traffic Control facility. Communication
is normally in the form of text message elements that resemble phraseology used in
voice communications with ATC.
Generally, messages are closed with an acknowledgement or acceptance. When a
message is acknowledged, the connection with the ATC facility is not terminated, but
kept active for future communication.
Communication hand-off to the next ATC facility is usually performed automatically,
but may also be accomplished manually by the pilot.
Connecting to the CPDLC System
A flight plan must be filed prior to logging on to the CPDLC system. After entering
flight plan information in the required fields and successfully logging on to the system,
messages may be sent and received.
The following parameters are used to log on to the system:
• Facility
• Flight ID
• Destination Airport
• Filed Departure Airport
• File Departure Time (Optional)
Performing the system log-on:
1)
From the MFD, select the
CPDLC
Softkey.
2)
Select the
LOGON
Softkey.
3)
Turn the large
FMS
Knob to place the selection cursor over the Facility field.
4)
Turn the small
FMS
Knob to select the desired ATC facility to which the
CPDLC connection will be established.
5)
Press the
ENT
Key to complete the entry.
6)
Turn the large
FMS
Knob to place the selection cursor over the Flight ID
field.
7)
Turn the small FMS Knob to enter the Flight ID or aircraft registration
number.
8)
Press the
ENT
Key to complete the entry.
