A056 templates - current Status

Operational Authorization (OpSpec / Mspec / LOA) A056 & Notice•Entered into AFS formal coordination on March 17, 2015

Highlights•Deleted the requirement for aircraft to be equipped with an approved collision avoidance system that is on and operating •Part 91 - references related to data comm operation within the U.S. has been deleted. Operators will not need operational authorization for U.S. domestic CPDLC-DCL

Review Notice and draft templates

11


Part 129

Part 129 will not require a separate A056– CAA approval / authorization will be annotated on A003

Review draft A003 template

12


Take aways…

Do not wait for the revised AC before submitting data link authorization applications.

– Applications being submitted (or already in approval process) referencing AC 120-70B will still be processed

– Delaying applications will cause delays in receiving authorization (and inability to participate in DCL ops at IOC)

Operators with existing A056 – Prepare your training and crew procedure documentation now so you

can respond quickly when the Notice is published

Next steps

AC 90-[datacomm] project

Includes:AC 120-70C incorporatedNew guidance

- PBCS- FANS / ATN B1 / B2 (as available)- Post-implementation monitoring- Compliance determination- Streamlined application process for Part 91

OpSpec / MSpec / LOA template updates Additional guidance / training material as necessary

U.S. domestic DCL trials - specifics

• Uses a stand-alone DCL Trials Automation Platform System (DTAP).

• Processes participating operators initial / revised DCL aircraft clearances independent of the current FAA Terminal Data Link Services (TDLS) system.

• Interfaces with the Tower ARTCC Host ATM Data Distribution System (HADDS) interface to receive NAS flight data.

• The ATC Clearance Delivery position hosts a dedicated DTAP DCL display and user interface.

17


U.S. domestic DCL trials - specifics

• Participating FANS1A / FANS1A+ equipped aircraft log into the DTAP via CPDLC.

• Once the link is established, the flight deck requests and receives its initial departure clearance and any revisions to that clearance using CPDLC.
