Flying with Data Link
Procedures do differ and you must be prepared
Pacific
Wants CPDLC position report after FIR entry to confirm CDA
Atlantic
Gander and Shanwick maintain nearly identical procedures
If aircraft is tagged for Reduced Longitudinal
Gander sends NDA 80 min prior to 30 West for eastbound
Prestwick sends NDA 60 min prior to 30 West for westbound
Preparing for RNP 4 and Reduced Lateral Separation
14
Pacific versus Atlantic
Flying with Data Link
Be prepared Training and Knowledge
Uncertainty or inattention lead to errors
Operational errors are reported by ATC to the Central Reporting Agency
ATC will want answers as to why there were errors
ATC or Network failures
Fire in Gander Center
Power failure at Arinc
SITA GES failure
Iridium outage/degrade

Operating Lessons Learned
Flying with Data Link
Do not include CPDLC/ADS-C codes unless you are authorized and intend to use it!
FANS Block 10a/b J4J5/D1
ATN Block 10a J1
ATC Response Expectation
Required Surveillance Performance
Required Communication Performance
Crew expected to respond within 60 seconds
Human factors in managing processing of uplinks and downlinks

Operating Lessons Learned
Flying with Data Link
Crew failed to respond to uplinks
Pilot clearance: "Maintain FL340, At 0807 Climb To And Maintain FL360, Report Level at FL360". At 0746 the pilot WILCO'd the
climb. At 0747 they advised "Level FL360". Pilot reported that the
clearance was not displayed with the restriction to climb at 0807
Pilot was issued a restricted clearance: "Maintain FL350, At 1810 Climb To And Maintain FL370, Report Level at FL370". At 1749
the pilot WILCO'd the climb. At 1751 they advised "Level FL370".
Pilot reported that the clearance was not displayed with the
restriction to climb at 1810
