System Configuration

ADS/CPDLC Training System

NEC's ADS/CPDLC training system has been developed to ensure a thorough understanding of ADS/CPDLC operation for both pilots and controllers.

Flight Progress Display

Aircraft information (including passing position and estimated passing time) is displayed on the ADS/CPDLC Workstation.

Playback Function

The Playback function records training data and can recreate any situation using data recorded on the ADS/CPDLC Workstation.

Conflict Alert Function

The ADS/CPDLC Workstation monitors the potential for conflict among aircraft and displays an alert if the workstation detects conflict. The conflict alert indicator can be turned on and off.

AIDC Function

By using two ADS/CPDLC Workstations, ATS* Interfacility Data Communications(AIDC) training can be conducted. AIDC messages for advisories, coordination, and handoffs are exchanged between ATS units.
