Description / Abstract:
This document provides an aviation industry view on how AIS and
MET data link services would be used to support flight operations.
In this ConUse, the data link services are considered as either the
primary (Category 1) or useful (Category 2) means for communicating
AIS and MET information, and voice becomes a secondary means for
such communications. The implementation of such services will be
evolutionary beginning with expected widespread use of useful
(Category 2) AIS and MET data link services.
The document identifies the stakeholders, the operational needs,
the justification for AIS and MET data link services, and the
needed change processes. Operational scenarios and use cases are
included along with examples of AIS and MET information that could
be delivered by these services. .
The AIS and MET data link services are expected to be used to
support tactical/near-term as well as strategic/planning decisions
in multiple operating environments. In addition, there are multiple
applications, both ground and airborne, that can benefit from the
data link transmission of aircraft derived meteorological
information.
