SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGING NON-INTEGRATED CONTROLLER PILOT DATA LINK COMMUNICATIONS (CPDLC) SYSTEMS ON AN AIRCRAFT

摘要

Systems and methods for implementing non-integrated FANS/ATN CPDLC solutionsare provided. In one embodiment a system comprises: a first computing systemexecuting afirst CPDLC application; a second computing system executing a second CPDLCapplication; atleast one Human Machine Interface (HMI) coupled to the first computing systemand thesecond computing system, the HMI configured to display screens generated bythe first CPDLCapplication and the second CPDLC application; and a manager function thatarbitrates HMIaccess to the screens generated by the first and second CPDLC applications.The managerfunction restricts access to one or more of the screens generated by the firstCPDLC applicationbased on a logon status of the second CPDLC application. The manager functionrestrictsaccess to one or more of the screens generated by the second CPDLC applicationbased on alogon status of the first CPDLC application.
