To all Pilots crossing central-europe:
We do not have CPLDC, but our neighbouring center (maastricht Radar) is operating this new system and more and more airlines are using it, mostly to send flight to the next frequency, e.g. my frequency.
More and more pilots calling in with a call like this:
"Rhein, good evening, Speedbird xyz, Fl 370, negative CPDLC"
Is this a new phraseology?
Is there new phraseology for CPDLC at all?
I know that your system shows you the next unit with the name and the freq. But isnīt showing if the next station uses CPDLC or not?
AFAIK Maastricht Radar is the only ATC-unit working on it, correct?
Thanks for some information!
