CPDLC losing link.
Hello.
We used our new CPDLC for the first time the other day (GLEX) in the Eastern Pacific Hawaii Tracks and on Dec 26 we had a good link 90% of the time but made one report on HF. On the return flight however, Jan 2, we logged on fine in PHKO but once airborne soon lost the link, restablished briefly a time or two, but for nearly the entire flight to California the link was lost with a NO COMM message.
New to the system and not sure how reliable it SHOULD be. Anyone with advice or a clue to why so unreliable? I know there was a strong solar storm on Dec 31, could this cause a problem 2 days later?
Thanks.
