LAY08521 - L1502T0 - LM46P2ATCS00001

The Air Traffic Control (ATC) system enables data link communication
between the aircraft and the ATC centers.
The ATC system supplies flight crew and the avionics systems with
communication, navigation and surveillance means.
The data link communication between the aircraft and the ground network
is made through the communication system composed of HF Data Radio
(HFDR), VHF Data Radio (VDR) and SATCOM systems.

ATC System Architecture

The air traffic control system operates through an ATC Data Link
Application hosted in the CPIOM-D1.
This application exchanges data with:
- A/C systems (aircraft parameters),
- the Printer-1
- the ATC centers through the Avionics Communication Router (ACR)
hosted in CPIOM-D3 and communication means,
- and flight crew through various Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs).
These interfaces are:
- CAPT, F/O "ATC MSG" P/Bs and loudspeakers to indicate the arrival
of an ATC message,
- CAPT, F/O KCCUs to type, file or manage messages,
- an "ATC COM" page shown on the MFDs 1 and 2. This page gives the
ATC system information.
The ATC COM page is shown by selecting the "ATC COM" page on the
MFD with the cursor or with the "ATC COM" key available on the
KCCU,
- an ATC mailbox shown on the SD. This mailbox shows the ATC system
messages exchanged between the flight crew and the ATC centers.
The KCCU includes a "MAIL BOX" key to switch the cursor from the
MFD to the ATC MAIL BOX and vice versa.
