ADS over Atlantic

[CJ1234]

Hi,

I have just started on the 320 and have been reading (just out of curiosity) about CPDLC/ADS in the A330 FCOM. I just wondered whether this was now in common use over the Atlantic, or whether it was still in its experimental phase. It seems like a really clever piece of kit - just wondered whether 330 folk use it all the time across the pond.

I would ask my colleagues but I don't fly with any 330 blokes.

Are you talking about your company or in general. If the latter, it's been in use for about ten years now.

If it's fitted, we use it! It's that or listen out on HF and try and get a word in edge ways with the 767 and 757 way down below us :}
