COMM\_07 Recall the function of the CPDLC system, and explain how the crew is aware that a connection has been established. Controller/Pilot DataLink Communications (CPDLC) is a **_digital_** communications function of the information system. * CPDLC is another ATC communication device in addition to **_VHF, HF, and SATCOM_** voice communications. * CPDLC **_augments_** ATC communications in **_remote_** areas or **_oceanic_** zones. * A CPDLC **_connection_** can be established with only one ATC facility at a time. * Messages are displayed to the crew on **_two_** Datalink Control Display Unit (DCDU) Screens.

COMM\_07 Recall the function of the CPDLC system, and explain how the crew is aware that a connection has been established. In airspace where CPDLC is available, _**\_\_\_\_\_\_**_ ATC does not mean that the _**\_\_\_\_\_\_**_ has been established. * ATC must _**\_\_\_\_\_\_**_ to complete the _**\_\_\_\_\_\_**_ * Until the connection is established, the green _**\_\_\_\_ ____ \_\_\_\_**_ message is displayed on the DCDUs. * ATC establishes the connection after they are _**\_\_\_\_\_\_**_. * When the connection is established the **\_\_\_\_\_\_ ATC** center is displayed on the DCDUs. *Two Datalink Control Display Unit (DCDU) screens* VOL.

COMM\_07 Recall the function of the CPDLC system, and explain how the crew is aware that a connection has been established. In airspace where CPDLC is available, **_notifying_** ATC does not mean that the **_connection_** has been established. * ATC must **_respond_** to complete the **_connection_**. * Until the connection is established, the green **_NO ACTIVE ATC_** message is displayed on the DCDUs. * ATC establishes the connection after they are **_notified_**. * When the connection is established the **_active ATC_** center is displayed on the DCDUs. *Two Datalink Control Display Unit (DCDU) screens* VOL.
