Implementação da tecnologia CPDLC na comunicação aeronáutica brasileira: Análise das mudanças e impactos operacionais

Abstract

Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) technology influences communication between pilots and controllers, improving the efficiency of air operations and demonstrating a significant impact since its implementation in Brazilian upper airspace. In the context of the continuous progress of the air traffic control system, this study aims to investigate the operational effects resulting from the full implementation of CPDLC technology in Brazilian upper airspace, including a historical analysis and the obstacles faced during its implementation. To address this issue, a qualitative methodological approach is chosen, employing content analysis techniques on relevant publications and documents. This research is conducted due to the importance of aeronautical communication in ensuring the safety and efficiency of air traffic. The implementation of CPDLC constitutes a significant advancement, as it allows the exchange of standardized messages via data link, reducing the need for voice communication via VHF radio and improving the working environment for pilots and controllers. Therefore, this research aims to offer a technical and operational analysis for the constant development of Brazilian civil aviation.
