• Abstract:
  In support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airborne Data Link Program, CTA INCORPORATED researched airlines' anticipated near future cockpit control and display capabilities and associated plans for Data Link communication. This effort was conducted in two parts. The first published study was entitled "Study on Airlines' Anticipated Near Future Cockpit Control and Display Capabilities and Plans for Data Link Communication," DOT/FAA/CTTN91/ 7, dated February 1991. This report is an expansion of the findings in the first study. This report is intended for research purposes only. The information presented reflects the surveyed airlines' anticipation of their activities within the next 5 years. The following data were studied for each of seven airlines; anticipated near future fleets: (1)quantity of each aircraft model; (2)aircraft model cockpit configuration; (3)currently available Data Link services; (4)primary Data Link device location; and (5)Data Link equipment training needs. In addition, information was gathered that pertained to the airlines; interest in linking their simulators to the FAA Technical Center. These findings were then compiled to determine the airlines' specific plans for incorporating Data Link Services into their fleets.
