    Which is a benefit of FANS?

    • Reduced separation between aircraft

    • No altitude loss when crossing tracks

    • More direct routings

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    FANS, or Future Air Navigation System, offers several benefits. Firstly, it allows for reduced separation between aircraft, enhancing efficiency and capacity in airspace. Secondly, FANS enables aircraft to cross tracks without any altitude loss, reducing fuel consumption and improving flight efficiency. Lastly, FANS supports more direct routings, allowing aircraft to follow shorter and more efficient flight paths. Therefore, all of the given options are benefits of FANS.

    What is CPDLC?

    • ATC communication with pilots via data link

    • Reports the current flight position via satellite or VHF data link to the air traffic controller or to the airline

    • Transmission of GPS position to the ATC or other aircraft equipped with ADS-B “In”

    • Wide-area or regional GPS augmentation using additional satellite-broadcast messages

    • A & D

    Correct Answer
    A. ATC communication with pilots via data link
    Explanation
    CPDLC stands for Controller Pilot Data Link Communications. It refers to the communication between air traffic controllers and pilots through a data link system, rather than traditional voice communication. This allows for the exchange of text messages, which can include clearances, instructions, and other important information. CPDLC improves communication efficiency, reduces the chances of miscommunication, and enhances safety in air traffic control operations.

    What is FANS?

    • Transmission of GPS position to the ATC or other aircraft equipped with ADS-B “In”

    • Data link communication between the pilot and the ATC

    • A high-precision GPS

    • Minimum performance for Terminal Airspace Area Navigation (RNAV) operations; navigation data integrity requirements, and specific flight crew procedures

    Correct Answer
    A. Data link communication between the pilot and the ATC
    Explanation
    FANS stands for Future Air Navigation System, which refers to a data link communication between the pilot and the ATC (Air Traffic Control). This system allows for the exchange of information between the pilot and the ATC through a data link, enabling more efficient and accurate communication compared to traditional voice communication. It enhances safety and efficiency by providing real-time information and reducing the chances of miscommunication.
