4 Why Data Link Now ? Kick Start the Future Fewer Misunderstandings Reduced Controller/Pilot Workload More ATC Capacity

5 Programme Objectives The LINK Programme Implementing En-route CPDLC over ATN/VDL2 Baseline ICAO standards Forward compatible with new services/technology Data link to supplement voice 11% Capacity Increase with 75% flights equipped

6 Strategic Context Objectives Scope Approach 2000>2005 >2020+ ACARS P+S RADAR ACARS Classic Radar Mode S VDL2 En-Route CPDLC Aircraft Parameters Mode S VDL2 ADS-B Receiver Initial ADS-B More CPDLC More FIS services Airborne Separation Trajectory negotiation Autonomous Separation LINK Mode S EHS FUTUREOPS/COMCASCADE 2010 >

7 Pioneers Incentives Mandate Pioneers –Objective: 100+ aircraft equipped Incentives –Objective: accelerate Airborne equipage to gain early benefits, return on investment Mandatory Carriage (SES IR) –Objective: more than 75% of flights in LINK airspace before Step Approach to Implementation
