SDM-0215 — Enhanced ATC and airborne operation using datalink for Trajectory Based Operations (TBO)

Enhanced ATC and airborne operations for TBO, by providing 2D planning information in advance with/without clearance to execute and complex clearances through automatic support using data link standards.

Rationale
This OI Step reflects some of the Air / Ground aspects in TBO already identified by the SDM-0213 , but limited to enhanced CPDLC among ATC and increased cockpit automation (scheduled airline or biz jet) .

By anticipating changes and / or using complex CPDLC clearances, the new operational procedures will allow increased predictability, more certainty in flight deck situational awareness (schedule airline of biz jets), more useful trajectory data from the aircraft, and potential for better ATCO planning / resource management possibilities
New procedures may allow ground system to detect a discrepancy in advance (EPP or eFPL or flight plan) and then uplink a route modification before the flight enters the AoR. This a) will save time for communication b) will allow a better ATC resource management with impact on task sharing, inter-centre coordination and workload in ATC and c) will changes in 2D route remaining in a close loop situation via complex CPDLC instructions.
