As the aviation community continues to implement Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) initiatives, operators want to know what the initiatives are and how they affect individual operators. The question always comes down to value: If I upgrade my aircraft, what will I get for the often substantial investment?
Datalink services are available in most of the world’s oceanic routes and in some domestic airspace, as well. The services provide invaluable support at transfer points where aircraft enter or exit domestic airspace and enter oceanic. The enhanced communication abilities aid the ATC on both sides of tracks and particularly when a controller at one center hands off an aircraft to another ATC center because with a FANS-equipped aircraft, the handoff occurs seamlessly behind the scenes.
Along the routes that have not yet been mandated for FANS, the flight crew has to call an ATC and give verbal updates as to their whereabouts with no support from ground surveillance. This lack of accurate position data is a problem because if an ATC doesn’t know exactly where an aircraft is, the ATC has to maintain greater distance between aircraft. With FANS, an ATC can track aircraft along the entire route and safely and efficiently track and accommodate more aircraft in the airspace. The majority of these enhanced services are available to FANS 1/A-equipped aircraft. Ground facilities around the world are upgrading to FANS work stations.
Which datalink service a particular operator selects depends entirely on what equipment is available for the type of aircraft.
