Well that just about sums it up, we are lagging behind and these systems are now really the basics of infrastructure that should be in place in the modern ATC environment. And now the Spanish have started to get to grips with CPDLC in some sectors the future is certainly bright! My fear is that the people running some of these airports are just not familiar with what equipment is available and the potential improvements to operational efficiency and safety they offer. Some of our regional airports are bulging at the seams at rush hour and some have operational challenges with respect to approach facility runway length and weather. Being able to get the ATIS and monitor the updates well before top of descent is better than “a nice to have”. Maybe those of you who work in non DCL/DATIS ATC units could run it up the flag pole with your managers?
