title: CPDLC | ||
--- | ||
|
||
--8<-- "includes/abbreviations.md" | ||
|
||
In the real world, CPDLC operations are generally used by aircraft within airspaces in Class A airspace above `F245`. | ||
|
||
CPDLC Functionality may also be used by pilots to request a PDC. | ||
PDC's utilising vatACARS are initiated by the pilot however the standalone VATSYS functionality can be used in lieu of vatACARS without a pilot initated request. | ||
|
||
!!! Note | ||
**CPDLC in it's enroute capacity should only be used by Enroute (C1) controllers or above.** | ||
|
||
PDC's may be issued using the vatACARS Client by any controller. | ||
|
||
## Setup | ||
|
||
The vatACARS client can be downloaded by clicking [here](https://vatacars.com/). | ||
|
||
The vatACARS client requires controllers to have a [Hoppies ACARS](https://www.hoppie.nl/acars/system/register.html) account and logon code, plus a [vatACARS Token](https://vatacars.com/me). | ||
|
||
If the client is installed correctly there will be an *ACARS* drop-down box available. | ||
|
||
<figure markdown> | ||
![vatACARS Dropdown](../controller-skills/img/vatacarsbar.png){ width="700" } | ||
</figure> | ||
|
||
## Pre Departure Clearance | ||
|
||
To utilise vatACARS for issuing PDC's, the controller must be logged into a VATPAC TCU, ADC, SMC or ACD position. | ||
|
||
After logging onto the network the controller should open the *Setup* window, fill in the relevent details and click *Save & Connect* | ||
|
||
<figure markdown> | ||
![vatACARS Setup](../controller-skills/img/vatacarslogon.png){ width="700" } | ||
</figure> | ||
|
||
**Station Code:** Must be the identifier of the airport which is being controlled. | ||
**vatACARS Token:** Must be your unique vatACARS Token, found [Here](https://vatacars.com/me). | ||
**Logon Code:** Must be your [Hoppies ACARS](https://www.hoppie.nl/acars/system/register.html) Code. | ||
|
||
Controllers **MUST** note in their controller remarks section that PDC's are available in the format below. | ||
|
||
<figure markdown> | ||
![vatACARS Continfo](../controller-skills/img/vatacarscontinfo2.png){ width="700" } | ||
</figure> | ||
|
||
Once connected and with CPDLC enabled, pilots will connect to the vatACARS plugin via their aircraft's CPDLC system. The controller will normally recieve a *'Request PDC'* message through vatACARS. | ||
The controller should left click their callsign to issue the PDC. A self explanitory window will appear, fill in the relevent data and send this back to the aicraft. | ||
Once the aircraft has recieved their PDC, the pilot will usually respond with *'Roger'* or similar to show they have recieved the clearance. | ||
|
||
<figure markdown> | ||
![vatACARS Setup](../controller-skills/img/vatacarspdc.png){ width="700" } | ||
</figure> | ||
|
||
!!! Note | ||
If providing a Top-Down service as an enroute position, the pilots will be required to connect to the your Enroute Station Code. Eg: YISA, etc | ||
|
||
## Enroute | ||
|
||
To utilise CPDLC the controller must be logged into a VATPAC Enroute or Oceanic Position. | ||
|
||
**CPDLC (Expect for PDC's) must not be used below `F245`.** | ||
|
||
After logging onto the network the controller should open the *Setup* window, fill in the relevent details and click *Save & Connect* | ||
|
||
<figure markdown> | ||
![vatACARS Setup](../controller-skills/img/vatacarslogon.png){ width="700" } | ||

|
||
**Station Code:** Must be the identifier of the airport which is being controlled. | ||
**vatACARS Token:** Must be your unique vatACARS Token, found [Here](https://vatacars.com/me). | ||
**Logon Code:** Must be your [Hoppies ACARS](https://www.hoppie.nl/acars/system/register.html) Code. | ||
|
||
Controllers **MUST** note in their controller remarks section that CPDLC is available in the format below. | ||

<figure markdown> | ||

|
||
Some major Enroute positions do not use CPDLC as a primary means of communication, however controllers may use CPDLC in lieu of voice when applicable. | ||
|
||

!!! Note | ||
If a non-standard subsector is online, the Station Code will be required to change to match the controlled subsector. | ||
|
||
### Accepting an Aircraft | ||
|
||
Once connected and with CPDLC enabled, pilots will connect to the vatACARS plugin via their aircraft's CPDLC system. The controller will normally recieve a *'Logon Request'* message through vatACARS. | ||
The controller should left click their callsign to respond to this initial message and respond with a *'Accept Logon'* to show the pilot that they have successfully connected. | ||
|
||
<figure markdown> | ||
![vatACARS Setup](../controller-skills/img/vatacarsdispatch.png){ width="700" } | ||
</figure> | ||
|
||
This aircraft will now be automatically added to your Dispatch window to allow a controller ulilise their CPDLC. | ||
|
||
### Message Editor | ||
|
||
When either a pilot sends a request or ATC requires to send a message to the pilot, left clicking the callsign in the dispatch window will open the message editor. | ||
This is used to select from a group of pre-coded messages to send back to the pilot. | ||
|
||
<figure markdown> | ||
![vatACARS Setup](../controller-skills/img/vatacarseditor2.png){ width="700" } | ||
</figure> | ||
|
||
If the response to the pilot is not shown in this initial dispatch window, the controller should click the *Edit* button, this will bring the controller to a broarder range of messages to send to the pilot. | ||
|
||
<figure markdown> | ||
![vatACARS Setup](../controller-skills/img/vatacarseditor1.png){ width="700" } | ||
</figure> | ||
|
||
Left clicking the number next to the text box will change the line of text forward up to 5 different lines, Right clicking the number will go to the previous line. | ||
|
||
### Handing over Aircraft | ||
|
||
#### ENR/OCN | ||
|
||
When transferring between Enroute or Oceanic sectors, ATC will right click on the aircraft which will bring up a handover window. The controller should select the next ATC unit the aircraft is going, this will transfer the aircraft through CPDLC to the next ATC unit. | ||
|
||
<figure markdown> | ||
![vatACARS Setup](../controller-skills/img/vatacarshandoff.png){ width="700" } | ||
</figure> | ||
|
||
#### ENR/TCU | ||
|
||
Standard Voice frequency transfers must be used for aircraft below `F245` and between ENR to TCU Positions. | ||
|
||
### Terminating CPDLC | ||
|
||
If CPDLC is no longer available or required, ATC will right click on the aircraft which will bring up a logoff window. By clicking *'LOGOFF'* the aircraft will be sent a Logoff message. | ||
|
||
