ARINC VDLM2 Industry Partnership

• Interoperability Team Meetings Occuring Since
  Early 98
• Most Recent Meeting at Boeing in August
• Air/Ground Test Station (AGTS) Developed and
  Delivered to Industry
• Allows Avionics Suppliers to Test with ARINC
  Production VDLM2 Software
• Collins AGTS delivered in March
• Honeywell AGTS fabricated - delivery by early
  November
• Three additional AGTSs will support American
  Airlines 767 VDLM2 certification in 2002

VDLM2 Industry PartnershipRecent Accomplishments

• On-going Testing Between ARINC and Collins since
  March
• Proven that ARINC and Collins Implementations are
  Compatible
• First VDLM2 Flight on October 20th was
  accomplished against ARINC VDLM2 Implementation
• First VDLM2/AOA Flight Against Live Network
  Occurred on November 20, 2000
• Collins Test Aircraft Exchanged VDLM2/AOA
  Messages
• FAA Tech Center VDLM2 Test Stack
• Tested VDL link establishment, data delivery, and
  disconnects

AOA Service and Ground Station Roll-Out Approach

• Initial Operational Capability
• Limited Coverage Area Currently Established
• Anticipate Very Few Aircraft Equipped
• avionics certification activities
• AQP activities
• Operational Service Evolves Expands
• En-route Service Coverage Deployed
• System Enhancements are Implemented
• VDLM2 AOA Equipped Aircraft in Revenue Service
• AOA Service will Remain
• No Sunset Date

AOA Initial Coverage and Expansion

• Initial Coverage to Support Avionics
  Certification over two geographic areas
• Three Ground Stations Deployed in Washington
• Boeing and Honeywell certification activities
• Deployment complete in early November
• Three Ground Stations Deployed in Iowa
• Rockwell Collins certification activities
• Deployment complete
• Coverage Expansion
• Driven by the Following Factors
• Alleviate ACARS RF Congestion
• Airline Coverage Needs
• Aircraft equipage rates
