Efficiency/CapacityData Link
Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) will supplement many
of today's routine voice transmissions with digital data communication
messages. CPDLC opens the way for transmitting a wealth of new
information that will significantly alter the way air traffic is managed
from predeparture through landing, improving flight safety and
efficiency, and potentially saving the aviation industry billions of
dollars.
Over the past several years, the FAA has evolved a comprehensive plan for building an air traffic management (ATM) system. This system will support future global flight planning, aircraft operation, and ATC services through the introduction of advanced communications, navigation, and surveillance technologies. A key feature of the future ATM will be the use of CPDLC data communications as a primary means for exchanging aeronautical information and delivering ATC services.
