Introduction of Wingspeed XLLink Satcom Communications and Data Management System
Limitations: Prior to installation of this modification the installer must determine that the interrelationship between this modification and any other previously installed modification will introduce no adverse effect upon the airworthiness of the product.
Global Availability - Communications satellites cover all land masses and there is growing capacity to serve maritime and even aeronautical markets.
Cost Effectiveness - Cost of satellite capacity does not increase with the number of users/receive sites, or with the distance between communication points.
Immediacy and Scalability - Additional receive sites, or nodes on a network, can readily be added, sometimes within hours.
Superior Reliability - Satellite communications can operate independently from terrestrial infrastructure.
•Reduced fuel burn and flight delay
•Providing efficient flight trajectories as traffic density increases
•Reduced separation standards – via reliable communication from CPDLC
