Vocalise: assessing the impact of data link technology on the R/T channel

An inferential study aiming at seizing substantial gain data-link technology could yield in forthcoming years has been performed based on a solid knowledge of vocal medium use by pilots and controller. The study delivers a rich and argued analysis of the impact data link applications could have in the operational field, which type of gain could be awaited depending on the precise operational area. This study driven by hypothetical scenario has derived expected use of data link applications from a very detailed and up-to-date qualitative and quantitative database.
