A FANS 1/A-ATN B1 aircraft system fully supports FANS 1/A and ATN B1 CPDLC message
sets.
The FANS 1/A-ATN B1 message set is the equivalent of an ATN B1 message set either
through the use of:
a) free text message elements (e.g. UM 169, DM 67); and/or
b) other message elements that are operationally equivalent.

NOTE: ROGER, NOT CURRENT DATA AUTHORITY, NOT AUTHORIZED NEXT
DATA AUTHORITY and ERROR will close the uplink message.
FANS 1/A. — ROGER, STANDBY, ERROR, NOT CURRENT DATA AUTHORITY.
FANS 1/A aircraft do not have the capability to send UNABLE in response to an up-
link message containing message elements with an “R” response attribute. For
these aircraft, the flight crew may use alternative means to UNABLE the message.
These alternative means will need to be taken into consideration to ensure proper
technical and operational closure of the communication transaction.

Y

Response required.
Valid responses: Any CPDLC downlink message, LOGICAL ACKNOWLEDGE-
MENT (only if required).

N

No response required unless logical acknowledgement required.
Valid Responses (only if LOGICAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is required). LOGICAL
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, NOT CURRENT DATA AUTHORITY, NOT AUTHORIZED
NEXT DATA AUTHORITY, ERROR
FANS 1/A. — "N" is defined as “no response is required,“ but not used. Under some
circumstances, an ERROR message will also close an uplink message.

NE

[Not defined in ICAO Doc 4444]
FANS 1/A. — The WILCO, UNABLE, AFFIRM, NEGATIVE, ROGER, and STAND-
BY responses are not enabled (NE) for flight crew selection. An uplink message with
a response attribute NE is considered to be closed even though a response may be
required operationally. Under some circumstances, a downlink error message may
be linked to an uplink message with a NE attribute.

Valid responses. Any CPDLC uplink message, LOGICAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

N

Valid responses (only if LOGICAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is required). LOGICAL
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, SERVICE UNAVAILABLE, FLIGHT PLAN NOT HELD, ER-
ROR
FANS 1/A. — Aircraft do not have the capability to receive technical responses to
downlink message elements with an “N” response attribute (other than LACK or ER-
ROR for ATN B1 aircraft). In some cases, the response attribute is different between
FANS 1/A aircraft and ICAO Doc 4444. As an example, most emergency messages
have an “N” response attribute for FANS 1/A whereas ICAO Doc 4444 defines a “Y”
response attribute for them. As a consequence, for FANS 1/A aircraft, the ATC will
need to use alternative means to acknowledge to the flight crew that an emergency
message has been received
.

CPDLC MESSAGE ELEMENTS

NOTE 1: The [O] attached to a parameter indicates that the provision of this parameter in the
message element is optional.
NOTE 2: The message text within parenthesis (e.g. (TERMINATE AT (position Atw[O])) as part of
SPCU-11) indicates that the provision of this text and associated parameter in the message ele-
ment is optional.
