The FAA has permanently authorized business aircraft operators to utilize enroute Controller-Pilot Datalink Communications (CPDLC), enabling digital communication with air traffic control.
This decision follows a petition by organizations like NBAA and GAMA, advocating for expanded CPDLC access for appropriately equipped general aviation aircraft.
The FAA aims to broaden CPDLC participation across the U.S. National Airspace System, with long-term performance requirements for the system expected to be published by May 2025.
