What 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

ATN 2001, London - 18 Sep 01
What 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

EEC Test Tools
to 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 Europe
DERA




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 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

ATN 2001, London - 18 Sep 01
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 coordination and motivation between all partners
teams
