3. 33 Objective of LINK 2000+ To co-ordinate the implementation of l selected air ground data link services for ATC, l at a number of ACCs/airports, l with benefit driven equipage by airlines, l based on ATN and VDL Mode 2 (ATC+AOC) l from 2000 to 2007/8 to reduce controller workload… with a safety benefit

4. 44 LINK2000+ Headlines l OPERATION DRIVEN, TECHNOLOGY ENABLED (not just a COM project) l European Implementation 2005-2008 (earlier for PIONEERS) –globally compatible, validated, air ground data link services for ATC –Infrastructure support for AOC l Voluntary Benefit driven equipage to start followed by Mandate (2008 timeframe) l Comms. Based on ATN and VDL Mode 2 l Strong link to FAA Program Build 1/1A

5. 55 LINK 2000 Characteristics l NO NEW CONCEPTS –Proof of operational concept (ODIAC, PETAL, EOLIA, national trials) –Proof of technology (PETAL IIe, ProATN, EOLIA, ATN trials infrastructure) l NO NEW STANDARDS –RTCA 189/Eurocae 53 (service inter-op) –ATN SARPS (ICAO doc. 9705) –AEEC Specs. 631, 637

6. 66 Benefits l Capacity Gain, Delay savings en-route –real-time and fast-time simulations –workload saving converted into capacity –capacity converted into delay savings l Cost of delay: defined by airlines/IATA R/T workload   workload   capacity   delay 

10. 10 Commitment to Implement LINK 2000+ PSG set the following schedule: l 06/01 "Key site identification” (Maastricht, Paris, Reims, Karlsruhe, Vienna, Zurich, Geneva, Madrid) l 10/01 "Pioneer airline identification" l 11/01 "Letters of commitment” l 01/02 "Announcement of concrete plans"

11. 11 Conclusion l The Benefits are Real –R/T workload savings –Less room for error –Efficiency (more time to do the job) l With Commitment the Benefits can be obtained Soon
