Overview LINK

• LINK implementation is well underway
• The extra Capacity is required, essential to
  implement in time
• LINK provides the infrastructure for future
  datalink enhancements
• E.g. CASCADE programme
• LINK is seen as a necessary step towards SESAR
• Continued co-ordination with FAA is ongoing
• Was in place with FAA CPDLC Programme
• Continues in PARC/ Datalink Roadmap initiative
• Using ATN and VDL2

  EUROCONTROL for the development of an
  Implementing Rule (IR) for Datalink Services on
  30th May 2005

Delivery of Initial Plan 15 July 2005
Delivery of Regulatory Approach January 2006
Draft final report including proposed draft Implementing Rule May 2006
Delivery of the final report including the draft Implementing Rule and the justification material September 2006

FAA/Eurocontrol Joint Study

• FAA/Eurocontrol 3 year joint study
• Objectives
• Identification of requirements and operating
  concepts
• Investigation into new mobile communication
  technologies
• Investigation of a flexible avionics architecture
• Development of a Future Communications Roadmap
• Creation of industry buy-in
• Improvements to maximise utilisation of current
  spectrum
