VHF Digital Link (VDL) has been identified as a method of communication between aircraft and ground stations in the Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN). VDL Mode 2, the first of three modes to be implemented, has been modeled in software for simulation. The simulations investigate the performance of a single ground station communicating with up to 150 aircraft in several scenarios. The number of aircraft that can be supported by a single ground station is determined based on the FAA specified limit of the subnetwork delay.
