Within the context of a European research project FANSTIC, NLR defined and implemented an example of a modified glass cockpit which allows aircraft operations within future 4D Air Traffic Management environments, using digital datalink as the primary means of communication. The cockpit with its environment was developed using the NLR moving base Research Flight Simulator (RFS) coupled to the NLR Air Traffic Control Research Simulator (NARSIM). In addition to simulated digital datalink (using Ethernet), analog radio communication was simulated through separate voice channels. The purpose of the project was to investigate possible implementations of data link into future flight deck concepts, in which extended ATC/aircraft information exchange plays a dominant role. Three data-link applications were evaluated: ATIS, En-Route Clearances and 4D trajectory negotiation. The cockpit user interface prototypes for these data link applications included graphical manipulations using touch input devices (including gesture recognition) and trackerball inputs in combination with an interactive Navigation Display, based on the HMI principle of 'direct object manipulation'.
