Satellite Data Link Validation Test Plan

Abstract

This document describes the validation process of a satellite data link which will be conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) technical Center. Aircraft equipped with satellite communication avionics will relay progress reports through a satellite to a ground earth station (GES). These will be compared directly to voice reports made using high-frequency (HF) radio. The results of the comparisons between the different links will be used to determine the suitability of satellite communication as a replacement for HF for oceanic air traffic control.
