Below is his update. • The Controller Pilot Data Link Communicat ions (CPDLC) s ervice has been deployed to 20 sites and an additional four sites are running the enhanced version of PDC. o The system is very stable and several sites are now running Auto Mode that previously could not. One of the issues that we are finding is the lack of understanding on the flight deck side. We all know that pilot training is not always as thorough as it should be. The program is experiencing this right now. o There has been some confusion from those on the flight deck on how to load the ro ute information. The FAA has a contract with Harris to reach out to the operators and work with them on any flight deck issues. • The program office is also working with the avionics manufacturers on fixing issues wi th their different types of FMS s. Even tho ugh the Future Air Navigation System (FANS) is supposed to work the same on all aircraft, we are finding that they don't. o These issues are being brought forward to the manufacturers to fix. o Depending on the issue and the amount of aircraft that use that p latform, fixes can be made relatively quickly or in some cases can take years.
