Avionics and Aviation Communications Systems
Equipage rates - Over 4,000 air- craft online today , at least 12,000 by 2023. - Increased throughput. - Reduced cost per MB.
Current safety connectiv- ity products - AOC/A TC tailored products. - Some EFB and limited cockpit/crew applications. - Limited data streaming to airline operations.
Experience with "event-triggered" systems No Cabin oriented CSPs would be obliged to incorporate AIDs to merge their on-board networks with flight deck avionics.
Is the data link certified for safety communications? No The Ku- and Ka-bands are not approved for safety communications due to risk of link failure (rain fade, skew angle degradation, etc.). T oday , only the L-band is approved under the ARINC standards.
Send messages and control flight deck No Cabin oriented CSPs currently use on-board network technology that is not certified to send communi- cations to cockpit flight computers.
Downstream data from the flight deck Yes While unable to send commands to the flight computer , the on-board equip- ment can stream flight data off of the flight com- puters. This could then be transmit- ted off the aircraft to 3rd parties.
