FANS A Update
• FANS A has been dev eloped for Oceanic/Remote operation
• FANS A has been certified in July 2000 on A340/A330 family
• FANS A+ has been dev eloped as an update from FANS A with
?ACARS enhancement
– Router upgrade
– VDL Mode 2 option
?FANS A improvement : In Service experience
?A623 option (DCL, D-ATIS, OCL)
?Message latency (for Continental accommodation).
y document.
• FANS A+
?has been certified in July 2004 on A340/A330 family
?will be certified by Q1 2005 on A320 family

?will be certified for EIS on A380 family and A400M
FANS B definition
•Objective: continental operation = ATC datalink function

complying with performance required in dense area
?Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (ICAO ATC set of
messages with syntax different from FANS A set of messages)
– Link 2000+ CPDLC messages
?Data link Initiation Capability (DLIC)
?ATC Communication Management (ACM)
?ATC clearance (ACL)
?ATC microphone check (AMC)
?ATN protocol (network performance improv ement)
y document.
•Advantage:
?High density operations Dedicated FANS HMI

?High performance requirements Integrated Architecture
FANS B development
•Standard for Initial Phase: FANS B

?Full
ACARS capability (Router & AOC)
?ATN functionality
– ATN router
– Initial CPDLC applications (ACM, AMC, ACL) for Link2000+
?Candidate pioneers airlines for Link 2000+
•Next Step
?levelC development
y document.
?Applications with FMS integration

– Full ED110 + initial 4D applications

?Data link recording
FANS B Status
•FANS B (ATN CPDLC) has been launched by Airbus in

July 2004, in compliance with Eurocontrol Link 2000+
programme,
•Current customers:
?Finnair 29 a/c (A320, A321, A319)
?Aeroflot 18 a/c (A320, A321)
?Alitalia (TBC)

?Need for RCP implementation program
Technology evolutions
•Take credit of investment already done:

?ACARS for AOC, then initial ATC usage
?ATN for full ATC operation
•Evaluate challenging technologies before standardisation

?Broadband Satcom, IP… for APC then AOC before ATC
•CAREFUL safety & security considerations

FANS Summary
AIRBUS FANS summary
• FANS development in support of Air Traffic Alliance roadmap
• FANS A certified and In Service

? Positive
validation of ATC datalink operation
• FANS B in development
? Progressive product maturity for basic ATC datalink operation
• Future FANS evolutions

? Globalstandardised use of ATC datalink for ATC evolution towards ATM
(accomodation and convergence required)
? Performance based communication concept deployment (RCP)
? Careful consideration of technology evolutions
y document.
– Safety
– Security
? To be developed in consistency with

– the SESAME framework in Europe
– global ICAO ATM transition plan
– Datalink strategy elaborated with Boeing in the frame of MoA on future
ATM interoperability.
