Abstract

This report documents an FAA operational evaluation of the initial group of four air traffic control services which have been designed for implementation on the Mode S Data Link system. Volume I contains the main body of the report. It includes a detailed description of the objectives of the evaluation and of the technical approach and test methods that were used. In addition, the primary results of the controller and aircrew portions of the study, conclusions, and recommendations are presented. Volume II contains a set of appendixes to the report.
