CONTROLLER-PILOT DATA-LINK COMMUNICATIONS


HOW TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTS SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS.

Controller-Pilot Data-Link Communications (CPDLC) is an air/ground data-link application operated at the Maastricht Upper Area Control Centre, which enables the exchange of text messages between controllers and pilots.

CPDLC complements traditional voice communications, providing pilots and controllers with an additional communications medium.

The objective of CPDLC is to improve the safety and efficiency of air traffic management.
