'''Controller-pilot data link communication''' (CPDLC) is a direct connection between ATC and aircraft through which controllers can communicate with pilots based on text, thereby relieving radio traffic. Its use is increasing everywhere in real life, while no aircraft is equipped in FlightGear yet | '''Controller-pilot data link communication''' (CPDLC) is a direct connection between ATC and aircraft through which controllers can communicate with pilots based on text, thereby relieving radio traffic. | ||

Recent efforts have already taken place towards making it possible: | |||
* [[ATC-pie]] already integrates CPDLC: it is working for other session types (e.g. solo), and an IRC-based (simple text) infrastructure for FG sessions is already in place, including transfers between data authorities, etc. (all it needs now is to be contacted by aircraft!)---see [[#Available ATC-pie IRC scheme]] further down; | * [[ATC-pie]] already integrates CPDLC: it is working for other session types (e.g. solo), and an IRC-based (simple text) infrastructure for FG sessions is already in place, including transfers between data authorities, etc. (all it needs now is to be contacted by aircraft!)---see [[#Available ATC-pie IRC scheme]] further down; | ||

We have a first POC up and running :) | |||

* Basic IRC protocol has been implemented in C++ | |||
* Some dummy CPDLC messages have been successfully passed around | |||
* CPDLC connect/disconnect works, handover to othe ATS unit works | |||
* Inbound CPDLC messages are processed and queued for later display in the cockpit | |||
* A simple PUI dialog interface is available in FGAddon | |||
* CPDLC protocol details still have to be worked out | |||
