Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a first processing system including a Future Air Navigation System (FANS) application for implementing a Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) and Aircraft Facility Notification (AFN) system; a second processing system including an Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN) application for implementing a Protected Mode Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (PM-CPDLC) and Context Management (CM) system; a third processing system implementing a Human Machine Interface (HMI), the HMI configured to provide access to a first set of pages driven by the FANS application and a second set of pages driven by the ATN application; and an Air Traffic Control (ATC) Manager accessed from the HMI, the HMI configured to provide access to a third set of pages driven by the ATC manager, wherein the third set of pages selectively directs a user of the HMI to either the first set of pages or the second set of pages based on a selected ATC center; wherein a first page of the third set of pages queries the user for login information, wherein the ATC Manager logs the user into one of the FANS application or the ATN application based on the selected ATC center.
