Key step taken toward single European sky ATC
Eurocontrol has received the final approval from its member states to lead the development and deployment of the European air/ground data communication service (EAGDCS). The agency said it will collaborate with the ATC providers of its member states and with aircraft operators within the context of the single European sky air traffic management research (SESAR) project. As an initial step, Eurocontrol is organising a workshop next month to kick off setting up the framework to start delivering the EAGDCS service in February 2018 to ATC providers, with the goal of initial trajectory information sharing by Jan 2025. Air/ground datalink communication allows controllers and pilots to communicate with each other safely by reducing the chance of miscommunication and freeing up radio channels for more urgent messages. <br/>
