"Data link is a cornerstone of
the Single European Sky and the FAA's NextGen initiatives and will continue to
improve safety and efficiency for operators," said
Carey Miller,
Universal Avionics Director of Corporate Programs and Business Development.
"Our UniLink UL-800/801 now has the capability to meet the data link requirements
around the globe," he added.

An optional configuration for ATN
B1 Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and Context Management
functions required for the European mandate are available with Universal
Avionics UniLink Software Version SCN 31.1. In addition, SCN 31.1 provides
baseline software and user interface improvements, and includes an update to VHF
Data Radio Software Version SCN 10.3.
The UniLink UL-800/801 CMU can be
installed on a wide range of platforms, even those with a third party Flight
Management System. For increased installation flexibility, the UniLink UL-801
model features an internal VDR that saves weight and space (no need to install a
dedicated system). |
