As of November 2017 over 1.8 million flights have received a CPDLC clearance and
delivered benefits to over 262 million passengers.
Over the last six months it is estimated that over 66,000 minutes of time on frequency
was saved and that more than 2,700 possible hear back/read back errors were
prevented.
It is also estimated that the CPDLC delivered over 10,000 minutes of delay savings.
None of these benefits could have been realized without the dedicated work of all of our
NATCA Subject Matter Experts and the Local Article 114 teams at the facilities.
Collaboration with the agency is showing a benefit to all. Most of all though, these
benefits would not be realized without the hard work and dedication of all the NATCA
Bargaining Unit Controllers in the field. Thanks for all you do.
