AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM PRESENTATION (1)

ATC System Architecture

The air traffic control system operates through an ATC Data LinkApplication hosted in the CPIOM-D1.This application exchanges data with:- A/C systems (aircraft parameters),- the Printer-1- the ATC centers through the Avionics Communication Router (ACR)hosted in CPIOM-D3 and communication means,- and flight crew through various Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs).These interfaces are:- CAPT, F/O "ATC MSG" P/Bs and loudspeakers to indicate the arrivalof an ATC message,- CAPT, F/O KCCUs to type, file or manage messages,- an "ATC COM" page shown on the MFDs 1 and 2. This page gives theATC system information.The ATC COM page is shown by selecting the "ATC COM" page on theMFD with the cursor or with the "ATC COM" key available on theKCCU,- an ATC mailbox shown on the SD. This mailbox shows the ATC systemmessages exchanged between the flight crew and the ATC centers.The KCCU includes a "MAIL BOX" key to switch the cursor from theMFD to the ATC MAIL BOX and vice versa.
