The FAA has made permanent its plan to allow business aircraft operators to participate in enroute Controller-Pilot Datalink Communications (CPDLC).
This decision follows successful advocacy efforts by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA).
CPDLC enables digital communication and data exchange between aircraft and air traffic control, enhancing efficiency over traditional voice communication.
The FAA aims to broaden CPDLC participation to more business and general aviation aircraft, with evolving avionics performance requirements expected to be finalized by May 2025.
