The next Data Link Users Forum will be held on 13-15 July 2010 at EUROCONTROL headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.
13 July is an airline-only round table discussion day. 14 and 15 July are open to experts from all fields.
The goal of the Data Link (DLK) Users Forum is to assist aircraft operators to improve the system performance and maximize the operational and economic benefits of air/ground data link communication services through the exchange of technical information. The DLK Users Forum is a coordinating activity among airlines and cargo carriers, aircraft manufacturers, avionics manufacturers, and data link service providers on technical issues of mutual interest leading to the identification and resolution of common problems. The DLK Users Forum also provides an opportunity for coordination among airlines, civil aviation authorities, and air traffic service providers on the direction and schedule of new Air Traffic Service (ATS) data link programs.
This years’ DLK Users Forum will continue the dialogue among Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and airlines relative to the data link services to be provided in designated airspace and the schedule for the introduction of these services.
The DLK Users Forum discusses data link communications topics of current interest to the airlines. Topics to be discussed at the upcoming meeting include:
• ATS Data Link Programs
• NAT, Link2000+, SESAR, NextGen/DataComm,
• Air-Ground Link Performance
• Multiple VDLM2 Frequencies, Inmarsat Satcom, Iridium
• Data Link Networks
• Communications provider developments
• Airline interoperability concerns
• AOC Applications
