General Information5

General InformationThis section contains general information regarding accessing

GDC services via UniLink.

Datalink SystemDatalink Avionics UniLink is the primary airborne component andis comprised of a data processor and external (UniLink UL-600) orinternal (UniLink UL-601) VHF transceiver. Optional airborneequipment may include a Satellite Data Communications System(SDCS) to provide datalink capability via satellite. UniLink may alsotransmit and receive via airborne telephone modem, although theGDC does not yet support this function. Because telephony is theonly available transmission mode for graphical weather, the GDC iscurrently unable to provide this service.Datalink Infrastructure By default, UniLink communicates via theland-based Aircraft Communication Addressing and ReportingSystem (ACARS) VHF network, which includes the ARINC and SITAsubnetworks. Based on position information provided by the aircraftFMS, UniLink automatically tunes to the appropriate subnetwork. Inareas where VHF coverage is unavailable, UniLink may interfacewith an optional Satellite Data Communications System (SDCS) tocommunicate via the Inmarsat Aero-I satellite network. This providesboth packet mode (datalink) and circuit mode (voice and data)capabilities to the aircraft. UniLink switches to and from the satellitenetwork based on VHF network coverage.Datalink Ground Service Provider As a datalink ground serviceprovider, the GDC is at the hub of the system. In addition toproviding host processing for UniLink, the GDC has telephone, fax,and network connections to ATC facilities, Fixed Base Operators(FBOs), multiple weather providers, and customer flight departments.

UniLink ConfigurationConfiguration of the UniLink unit is performed by modifying the

information stored in the UniLink configuration module. Theconfiguration module is installed at the rear of the avionics rack,which allows the UniLink unit to be removed and replaced withouthaving to reconfigure the new unit. Information stored in theconfiguration module includes the aircraft registration (or permanentcallsign), aircraft type, and datalink ground service provider code,also known as the airline ID. Please refer to the UniLinkConfiguration procedure on page 40 for detailed instructionsregarding how to configure UniLink for GDC services.

General Information 6

Line of SightAll UniLink transmissions, whether VHF or satellite, require line

of sight to a VHF ground station or Inmarsat satellite respectively.This is most often a concern when transmitting VHF on the

ground due to the curvature of the Earth, high surrounding terrain,and manmade structures. VHF transmissions from many airportsare simply not possible because the nearest VHF ground station isbelow the horizon or blocked by surrounding terrain. Even at airportswith VHF ground stations, VHF transmissions may not be successfuldue to manmade structures obstructing line of sight. In flight, VHFcoverage is normally excellent, although coverage limitations mayexist at low altitudes.

Transmitting via satellite while on the ground is generallyreliable, although line of sight issues may still arise due tosurrounding terrain and manmade structures. The curvature of theEarth is a concern only at latitudes greater than 70° north or southbecause the Inmarsat satellites are in an equatorial geostationaryorbit. Except at these high latitudes, satellite coverage while in flightis seamless.

Pre-Departure ClearancesPre-Departure Clearances (PDCs) are available to operators of

datalink equipped aircraft which subscribe to GDC services. Theaircraft must also be registered through the GDC with the FAA andARINC. Use of PDCs at participating airports is mandatory onceregistered; please refer to the Appendix beginning on page 49 for alist of participating airports

A PDC is based on a filed IFR flight plan, regardless of whetherthe flight plan was filed by the GDC, through an FSS, or via DUATS.Approximately 20 minutes prior to the filed time of departure of theflight plan, ATC will generate and then forward the PDC to the GDCfor storage. With this in mind, request the PDC no earlier than 15minutes prior to the filed time of departure. Because this short timeis often insufficient to receive the clearance and depart as planned,the GDC recommends filing the flight plan with a time of departure30 minutes earlier than the actual intended time of departure.Please refer to the Pre-Departure Clearance procedure on page 12for detailed instructions regarding how to request a PDC.

The PDC is uplinked to the aircraft as a datalink message. Oncereceived, the flight crew is required to follow the clearance. Be sureto page forward through the PDC until END OF CLEARANCE isdisplayed. An aircraft may receive only one PDC per airport per dayand a PDC will not be available if there is any change to the filedroute and/or altitude. A PDC is valid for two hours beyond the filedtime of departure.

General Information7

Oceanic Clearances - EastboundDelivery of oceanic clearances via datalink for eastbound

transatlantic flights is available from Gander Area Control Centre(ACC) to datalink equipped aircraft. The aircraft must also beregistered through the GDC with ARINC and Gander ACC.

When flight planning, ensure that �AGCS EQUIPPED� (AGCS isan acronym for Air to Ground Communication System) is included inthe ATC remarks section of the filed flight plan. This remark informsGander ACC that the flight crew desires to receive the oceanicclearance via datalink.

Gander ACC sends the clearance to the GDC 10 to 60 minutesprior to aircraft entry into oceanic airspace. For aircraft in flight,Gander ACC generally sends the clearance by 70° west longitude.For aircraft departing Gander (CYQX), Goose Bay (CYYR), and St.John�s (CYYT) airports, Gander ACC sends the oceanic clearance tothe GDC at the same time it sends the departure clearance to thetower. Readback of the oceanic clearance is given to the tower,after which the tower issues the departure clearance.

With automatic position reports enabled, the GDC automaticallyuplinks the clearance to the aircraft as soon as it is received fromGander ACC. If automatic position reports are disabled, the flightcrew must request the clearance. Please refer to the OceanicClearance - Eastbound procedure on page 14 for detailedinstructions regarding how to request an oceanic clearance for aneastbound flight. Begin requesting the clearance approaching 70°west longitude, but if the clearance is not received by 10 minutesprior to entry into oceanic airspace, contact Gander ACC on theappropriate voice frequency. The datalink oceanic clearance isuplinked to the aircraft as a datalink message. Oceanic clearancesare valid for 30 minutes beyond the issue time and voice readback ofoceanic clearances is required.

Oceanic Clearances - WestboundDelivery of oceanic clearances via datalink for westbound

transatlantic flights is available from Shanwick Oceanic Control Area(OCA) to datalink equipped aircraft. This service is known asOceanic Route Clearance Authorisation (ORCA). The aircraft mustalso be registered through the GDC with Shanwick.

The flight crew requests the clearance via datalink between 30and 90 minutes prior to entry into the Shanwick OCA. Please referto the Oceanic Clearance - Westbound procedure on page 16 fordetailed instructions. Shanwick normally responds to the clearancerequest with a message indicating that the clearance should bereceived within the next 15 minutes. Shanwick then sends theclearance to the aircraft, which contains the aircraft registration, entrypoint, ETA at the entry point, Mach number, flight level, route, and

General Information 8

destination. The flight crew must promptly acknowledge theclearance via datalink by line selecting ACKNOWLEDGE on themessage page containing the clearance. Failure to promptlyacknowledge the clearance results in cancellation of the clearancetransaction and requires that Shanwick be contacted by voice. Uponreceipt of the clearance acknowledgement, Shanwick sends amessage to the aircraft confirming the clearance. If this message isnot received, Shanwick must be contacted by voice.

If the flight crew requests a new clearance or if Shanwickrequires a change to an existing clearance, one or morereclearances may be received by the flight crew. Thesereclearances will be annotated "RECLEARANCE 1","RECLEARANCE 2", etc., although may not necessarily benumbered consecutively.

Please also note that if at any time the flight crew is in doubtregarding the oceanic clearance transaction, Shanwick must becontacted by voice using the phrase "(AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION)ORCA CONTACT". If any message from Shanwick is not terminatedby the phrase "END OF MESSAGE", Shanwick must also becontacted by voice using the phrase "(AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION)ORCA CONTACT". If no clearance has been received by 15minutes prior to entry into the Shanwick OCA, Shanwick and AirTraffic Control (ATC) for the airspace in which the aircraft isoperating must be contacted by voice. All clearances andreclearances must be acknowledged.

Other Air Traffic ServicesOther air traffic services, including air traffic flow control reports

and plain language weather forecasts, are requested via datalinkmessage. For example, to request the flow control report for WilliamP. Hobby Airport, send a message with the text FLOWHOU in the NO(number) field on the CREATE MESSAGE page. Please refer to thefollowing table for a list of other air traffic services addresses and tothe Create Message procedure on page 27 for detailed instructionsregarding how to address and send a message.

General Information9

Automatic Position ReportsEnabling automatic position reports allows UniLink to

automatically send position reports to the GDC at a specifiedinterval, normally every 15 minutes. These position reports servetwo functions. First, in order for the GDC to send an uplink to anaircraft, the position of the aircraft must have been updated withinthe preceding 15 minutes. Any manual downlink from UniLink, suchas a flight plan request or message downlink, includes the aircraftposition, which allows the GDC to respond immediately with theappropriate uplink. If the position of the aircraft is updated only fromirregular manual downlinks, however, periods may exist when theGDC cannot send an unsolicited uplink message, such as aneastbound oceanic clearance, because the last known position of theaircraft is no longer current.

The GDC therefore recommends enabling automatic positionreports with a 15 minute interval in order to regularly provide theGDC with the current position of the aircraft. Automatic positionreports may also be enabled with a longer interval or be disabledcompletely in order to reduce datalink transmission costs, althoughthe GDC would not be able to send an unsolicited uplink message tothe aircraft during any period 15 minutes after the last downlink isreceived. If the GDC cannot send an unsolicited uplink message toan aircraft, the message is stored for up to seven days or until adownlink is received from the aircraft providing its current position,which then allows the stored message to be sent.

Second, automatic position reports, as well as reports for allother downlinks, are accessible through AFISCOM Express softwarein both text and graphic form. These flight following reports allowusers to track aircraft progress and review previous flights from theground. Please refer to the AFISCOM Express User�s Guide forinstructions regarding obtaining and displaying flight followingreports.

Please also refer to the UniLink Configuration procedure on page40 and to the Position Report procedure on page 23 for detailedinstructions regarding how to configure automatic position reports.

SEND PromptAfter line selecting SEND to send a request or message, the

status of the request or message displays above the SEND prompt.Status indicators include QUEUED, SENDING, SENT, and NOTSENT. Additionally, the SENDING and SENT status indicators areprefixed with the selected transmission mode, either VHF, SAT, orTEL. If information required for the message or request is missing, aDATA REQUIRED message displays.
