1. Data Comm Departure Clearance End To End Summary: (DCIT #27 WG)
26 September 2013

2. Production DCL End2End Summary:
Example Changes from Trials
Users designate DCL and PDC flights via ICAO Flight Plan filing and Subscriber Data Base (SDB); no more FRC DCL in Field 18 REM/ field
CPDLC (Connection establishment) only after ATC approves the DCL
No CPDLC “Active Status” if user logs on early (prior to P-Time-30 min)
Flights with local (unpublished) arrival procedures (PARs) in the route are now eligible for DCL; will not be cleared for the local arrival procedures until en route
NAV Database differences may result in differences for international flights, i.e., “TO” point for UM79?
Production uses ERAM NAV DB; Trials has its own Jeppesen
UM83 currently in Production system; open issue for post-initial release to put in a switch
Gate Request Message to AOCs as separate message, sent when controller approves the DCL
Fallback from DCL to PDC capability and user preference to do so
