What crews should know about the Future Air Navigation System

While the advantages of ADS-C/CPDLC (or FANS 1/A) are legion, the datalink component is not without its pitfalls that can confuse the inattentive flight crew or one grown complacent due to the automation that characterizes the system.

Ultimately you're going to have to upgrade to ADS-C and CPDLC to operate above FL 280 in most oceanic airspace anyway (e.g., by Jan. 1, 2020, in the North Atlantic), but here's what you're missing out on now in the North Atlantic Track System.

Designers attempt to give exceptional capabilities in all areas, including price, but the laws of physics, thermodynamics and aerodynamics do not allow one aircraft to do all missions with equal efficiency. Tradeoffs are a reality of aircraft design.

With each new generation of aircraft, we are treated to levels of automation unparalleled in performance and reliability.

Graphs are designed to illustrate the performance of Piper M600 [PA-46-600TP] under a variety of range, payload, speed and density altitude conditions. Do not use these data for flight planning because they are gross approximations of actual aircraft performance.
