VDL Mode 2 Program 2001 Development Activities
AOA• Develop and deploy first maintenance release in June• Enhance AQP capability• Deployment RF test/analysis accomplished
Avionics Interoperability Testing for AOA and ATN• Collins underway (AOA and ATN)• Airbus/Aerospatiale underway for AOA• Boeing type certification underway• FAA interoperability tests underway (ATN)• EuroControl PETAL tests underway (ATN ground/ground)• Honeywell imminent (AOA)• Teledyne imminent (AOA)

VDL Mode 2 Program 2001 Development Activities
ATN• PETAL
Software test near completion and fielded within the next 30 days
– end-to-end CPDLC message delivery proven over the RF– AA 767 w/Collins CMU/ARINC ATN network/Maastricht
5 of 6 Ground stations deployed in Europe 2 AGRMs deployed in Europe ATN routers deployed Engineering network operations center established PETAL aircraft certification
– Two AGTS’s deployed and operational at Dallas-Fort Worth and Tulsa
– Aircraft certification underway
PETAL operational from May through October ‘01

VDL Mode 2 Program 2001 Development Activities
ATN
• Deployment Activities for Miami Airspace Coverage requirements defined with FAA and
American Airlines Ground Stations fielded as part of AOA deployment in
2001 and early 2002– additional Florida and Caribbean sites required
• ATN Service Operational in December ‘01 Will support CPDLC Build I and AOC needs ATN initially cut-over to limited geographical area Expansion to operational service cloud in Florida in
early ‘02

VDL Mode 2 Service and Ground Station Roll-Out
Initial Operational Capability Established
2001 Deployment Activities Encompasses:• Installing over 80 VDL retrofit kits for currently deployed VDL-
capable ground stations• Beginning deployment of over 90 new ACARS/VDL operational
ground stations Over 20 retrofit kits fabricated to date
• Deploying Air/Ground Routers/Regional Managers (AGRMs)• Establishing VDL Mode 2 ATN IOC capability
2001 Deployment Coverage• Continental US focus is en-route cloud and CPDLC coverage• Europe focus is cloud to support Airbus VDL production
certification
A11
VDL Mode 2Service and Ground Station Roll-Out
VDL Ground Station Deployment Approach• Long lead parts ordered and fabrication underway• Operational testing underway to ensure smooth
implementation (especially at high volume “critical” airports)
• Begin deployment at @ 20 ground stations per month in 2Q01 with the following focus:
VDL kits for already deployed VDL-upgradeable ground stations
New VDL ground stations for Miami airspace and to fill in holes in en-route VDL coverage

Summary
One Big Milestone Accomplished and Several To Go in 2001• VDL Mode 2 Is Reality Now
The Focus of 2001 is:• PETAL• Deploying VDL Mode 2 ATN capability for AOC and
CPDLC• Expanding VDL Mode 2 Coverage• Continuing to Work with Industry for VDL Mode 2
Air/Ground Interoperability
