Satellite data link validation test plan
Abstract
The validation process of a satellite data link is described. Aircraft equipped with satellite communication avionics will relay progress reports through a satellite to a ground earth station (GES). These will be compared directly to voice reports made using high-frequency (HF) radio. The results of the comparisons between the different links will be used to determine the suitability of satellite communication as a replacement for HF for oceanic air traffic control.
