What is Left To DoWhat is Left To Do Detailed analysis of logs/traces from 20+ hours BAC1-11

flights and 21 AAL Non-REV flights out of CDG Lessons Learned will be documented

– Network Tuning is essential Those that affect standards will be injected into

AEEC/ICAO/RTCA There are Technical Issues to resolve

– Unexpected NOCOMM (coverage/handoff)– Performance optimisation

Resolution is NOT in the scope of PIIe

What Was AchievedWhat Was Achieved

An Integrated Operational System with MAASTRICHT UAC supporting AAL Commercial Flights

A Major Milestone in Datalink made possible by dedicated teams in American Airlines, Rockwell-Collins, ARINC, STNA, Eurocontrol Maastricht and Eurocontrol Brétigny

EEC Test Tools EEC Test Tools to support Flight Trialsto support Flight Trials

New Tool capability integrated in the EEC Petal Ground Test Tool : – Generation of short and long CPDLC

messages with automatic response from the air side

Objectives:– Tuning of ATN TP4 parameters– Evaluation of Airborne side performances

Validating ATN/VDL M2 in EuropeValidating ATN/VDL M2 in Europe CMU/MCDU and VDR “palette mounted” in DERA Van for

VDL Checkout - May 01 20 hours flight with CMU/MCDU and VDR Installed on

BAC1-11 - From June 01 until start August 01 CPDLC exercised against EEC test tools plus

automatic traffic generation Collecting output information from air and ground

sides for post analysis: – VGS Hand-off’s ! VGS Coverage boundaries ! VGS

Coverage overlap !– Air side performances

NON-Revenues flightsNON-Revenues flights Four AAL 767s Rockwell Collins CMU equipped

at CDG 21 flights from start of July until mid of August

01 CPDLC exercised against EEC test tools and

UAC Maastricht. Automatic traffic generation for post analysis of air and ground registered traces

CPDLC Op. UAC Maastricht and STNA (shadow mode) with external CPDLC transfers exercised between both


21

ATN Progress !ATN Progress ! Successful Non-Revenues flights continued by

US/Europe Revenues flights with UAC Maastricht CPDLC exchanges in inbound/outbound VDL M2 coverage

MAJOR progress in implementation of Air/Ground Datalink thanks to real good co-ordination and motivation between all partners teams
