This report documents the results of the second Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) manned simulation study designed to identify and quantify some of the benefits of Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC). The study specifically focused on CPDLC in the terminal air traffic control (ATC) environment, and addressed potential economic benefits to National Airspace Systems (NAS) users, productivity and safety benefits to the ATC system, and performance and workload benefits to air traffic controllers. Air traffic controllers, ATC supervisors and pilots participated in high fidelity simulation tests in which a combined voice radio and Data Link communication system was used to control traffic in terminal airspace.
