Introduction
UniLink Quick Reference Guide
Datalink Request GDC services via datalink through a Universal
Avionics Systems Corporation (UASC) UNS-1 Flight Management
System (FMS) interfaced with UASC’s UniLink™ datalink unit. This guide describes UniLink operation based on UniLink SCN 13.1, including how to uplink flight plans and text weather, send and receive messages, and request air traffic services.
Introduction

UniLink Quick Reference Guide
General Information
This section contains general information regarding accessing
GDC services via UniLink.
Datalink System
Datalink Avionics UniLink is the primary airborne component and is comprised of a data processor and external (UniLink UL-600) or internal (UniLink UL-601) VHF transceiver. Optional airborne equipment may include a Satellite Data Communications System
(SDCS) to provide datalink capability via satellite. UniLink may also transmit and receive via airborne telephone modem, although the
GDC does not yet support this function. Because telephony is the only available transmission mode for graphical weather, the GDC is currently unable to provide this service.
Datalink Infrastructure By default, UniLink communicates via the land-based Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting
System (ACARS) VHF network, which includes the ARINC and SITA subnetworks. Based on position information provided by the aircraft
FMS, UniLink automatically tunes to the appropriate subnetwork. In areas where VHF coverage is unavailable, UniLink may interface with an optional Satellite Data Communications System (SDCS) to communicate via the Inmarsat Aero-I satellite network. This provides both packet mode (datalink) and circuit mode (voice and data) capabilities to the aircraft. UniLink switches to and from the satellite network based on VHF network coverage.
Datalink Ground Service Provider As a datalink ground service provider, the GDC is at the hub of the system. In addition to providing host processing for UniLink, the GDC has telephone, fax, and network connections to ATC facilities, Fixed Base Operators
(FBOs), multiple weather providers, and customer flight departments.
UniLink Configuration
Configuration of the UniLink unit is performed by modifying the information stored in the UniLink configuration module. The configuration module is installed at the rear of the avionics rack, which allows the UniLink unit to be removed and replaced without having to reconfigure the new unit. Information stored in the configuration module includes the aircraft registration (or permanent callsign), aircraft type, and datalink ground service provider code, also known as the airline ID. Please refer to the UniLink
Configuration procedure on page 40 for detailed instructions regarding how to configure UniLink for GDC services.

General Information
UniLink Quick Reference Guide
Line of Sight
All UniLink transmissions, whether VHF or satellite, require line of sight to a VHF ground station or Inmarsat satellite respectively.
This is most often a concern when transmitting VHF on the ground due to the curvature of the Earth, high surrounding terrain, and manmade structures. VHF transmissions from many airports are simply not possible because the nearest VHF ground station is below the horizon or blocked by surrounding terrain. Even at airports with VHF ground stations, VHF transmissions may not be successful due to manmade structures obstructing line of sight. In flight, VHF coverage is normally excellent, although coverage limitations may exist at low altitudes.
Transmitting via satellite while on the ground is generally reliable, although line of sight issues may still arise due to surrounding terrain and manmade structures. The curvature of the
Earth is a concern only at latitudes greater than 70° north or south because the Inmarsat satellites are in an equatorial geostationary orbit. Except at these high latitudes, satellite coverage while in flight is seamless.
Pre-Departure Clearances
Pre-Departure Clearances (PDCs) are available to operators of datalink equipped aircraft which subscribe to GDC services. The aircraft must also be registered through the GDC with the FAA and
ARINC. Use of PDCs at participating airports is mandatory once registered; please refer to the Appendix beginning on page 49 for a list of participating airports
A PDC is based on a filed IFR flight plan, regardless of whether the flight plan was filed by the GDC, through an FSS, or via DUATS.
Approximately 20 minutes prior to the filed time of departure of the flight plan, ATC will generate and then forward the PDC to the GDC for storage. With this in mind, request the PDC no earlier than 15 minutes prior to the filed time of departure. Because this short time is often insufficient to receive the clearance and depart as planned, the GDC recommends filing the flight plan with a time of departure
30 minutes earlier than the actual intended time of departure.
Please refer to the Pre-Departure Clearance procedure on page 12 for detailed instructions regarding how to request a PDC.
The PDC is uplinked to the aircraft as a datalink message. Once received, the flight crew is required to follow the clearance. Be sure to page forward through the PDC until END OF CLEARANCE is displayed. An aircraft may receive only one PDC per airport per day and a PDC will not be available if there is any change to the filed route and/or altitude. A PDC is valid for two hours beyond the filed time of departure.

UniLink Quick Reference Guide
Oceanic Clearances - Eastbound
Delivery of oceanic clearances via datalink for eastbound transatlantic flights is available from Gander Area Control Centre
(ACC) to datalink equipped aircraft. The aircraft must also be registered through the GDC with ARINC and Gander ACC.
When flight planning, ensure that “AGCS EQUIPPED” (AGCS is an acronym for Air to Ground Communication System) is included in the ATC remarks section of the filed flight plan. This remark informs
Gander ACC that the flight crew desires to receive the oceanic clearance via datalink.
Gander ACC sends the clearance to the GDC 10 to 60 minutes prior to aircraft entry into oceanic airspace. For aircraft in flight,
Gander ACC generally sends the clearance by 70
° west longitude.
For aircraft departing Gander (CYQX), Goose Bay (CYYR), and St.
John’s (CYYT) airports, Gander ACC sends the oceanic clearance to the GDC at the same time it sends the departure clearance to the tower. Readback of the oceanic clearance is given to the tower, after which the tower issues the departure clearance.
With automatic position reports enabled, the GDC automatically uplinks the clearance to the aircraft as soon as it is received from
Gander ACC. If automatic position reports are disabled, the flight crew must request the clearance. Please refer to the Oceanic
Clearance - Eastbound procedure on page 14 for detailed instructions regarding how to request an oceanic clearance for an eastbound flight. Begin requesting the clearance approaching 70
° west longitude, but if the clearance is not received by 10 minutes prior to entry into oceanic airspace, contact Gander ACC on the appropriate voice frequency. The datalink oceanic clearance is uplinked to the aircraft as a datalink message. Oceanic clearances are valid for 30 minutes beyond the issue time and voice readback of oceanic clearances is required.
Oceanic Clearances - Westbound
Delivery of oceanic clearances via datalink for westbound transatlantic flights is available from Shanwick Oceanic Control Area
(OCA) to datalink equipped aircraft. This service is known as
Oceanic Route Clearance Authorisation (ORCA). The aircraft must also be registered through the GDC with Shanwick.
The flight crew requests the clearance via datalink between 30 and 90 minutes prior to entry into the Shanwick OCA. Please refer to the Oceanic Clearance - Westbound procedure on page 16 for detailed instructions. Shanwick normally responds to the clearance request with a message indicating that the clearance should be received within the next 15 minutes. Shanwick then sends the clearance to the aircraft, which contains the aircraft registration, entry point, ETA at the entry point, Mach number, flight level, route, and
7
General Information
UniLink Quick Reference Guide
destination. The flight crew must promptly acknowledge the clearance via datalink by line selecting ACKNOWLEDGE on the message page containing the clearance. Failure to promptly acknowledge the clearance results in cancellation of the clearance transaction and requires that Shanwick be contacted by voice. Upon receipt of the clearance acknowledgement, Shanwick sends a message to the aircraft confirming the clearance. If this message is not received, Shanwick must be contacted by voice.
If the flight crew requests a new clearance or if Shanwick requires a change to an existing clearance, one or more reclearances may be received by the flight crew. These reclearances will be annotated "RECLEARANCE 1",
"RECLEARANCE 2", etc., although may not necessarily be numbered consecutively.
Please also note that if at any time the flight crew is in doubt regarding the oceanic clearance transaction, Shanwick must be contacted by voice using the phrase "(AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION)
ORCA CONTACT". If any message from Shanwick is not terminated by the phrase "END OF MESSAGE", Shanwick must also be contacted by voice using the phrase "(AIRCRAFT REGISTRATION)
ORCA CONTACT". If no clearance has been received by 15 minutes prior to entry into the Shanwick OCA, Shanwick and Air
Traffic Control (ATC) for the airspace in which the aircraft is operating must be contacted by voice. All clearances and reclearances must be acknowledged.
Other Air Traffic Services
Other air traffic services, including air traffic flow control reports and plain language weather forecasts, are requested via datalink message. For example, to request the flow control report for William
P. Hobby Airport, send a message with the text FLOWHOU in the NO
(number) field on the CREATE MESSAGE page. Please refer to the following table for a list of other air traffic services addresses and to the Create Message procedure on page 27 for detailed instructions regarding how to address and send a message.

UniLink Quick Reference Guide
Automatic Position Reports
Enabling automatic position reports allows UniLink to automatically send position reports to the GDC at a specified interval, normally every 15 minutes. These position reports serve two functions. First, in order for the GDC to send an uplink to an aircraft, the position of the aircraft must have been updated within the preceding 15 minutes. Any manual downlink from UniLink, such as a flight plan request or message downlink, includes the aircraft position, which allows the GDC to respond immediately with the appropriate uplink. If the position of the aircraft is updated only from irregular manual downlinks, however, periods may exist when the
GDC cannot send an unsolicited uplink message, such as an eastbound oceanic clearance, because the last known position of the aircraft is no longer current.
The GDC therefore recommends enabling automatic position reports with a 15 minute interval in order to regularly provide the
GDC with the current position of the aircraft. Automatic position reports may also be enabled with a longer interval or be disabled completely in order to reduce datalink transmission costs, although the GDC would not be able to send an unsolicited uplink message to the aircraft during any period 15 minutes after the last downlink is received. If the GDC cannot send an unsolicited uplink message to an aircraft, the message is stored for up to seven days or until a downlink is received from the aircraft providing its current position, which then allows the stored message to be sent.
Second, automatic position reports, as well as reports for all other downlinks, are accessible through AFISCOM Express software in both text and graphic form. These flight following reports allow users to track aircraft progress and review previous flights from the ground. Please refer to the AFISCOM Express User’s Guide for instructions regarding obtaining and displaying flight following reports.
Please also refer to the UniLink Configuration procedure on page
40 and to the Position Report procedure on page 23 for detailed instructions regarding how to configure automatic position reports.
SEND Prompt
After line selecting SEND to send a request or message, the status of the request or message displays above the SEND prompt.
Status indicators include QUEUED, SENDING, SENT, and NOT
SENT. Additionally, the SENDING and SENT status indicators are prefixed with the selected transmission mode, either VHF, SAT, or
TEL. If information required for the message or request is missing, a
DATA REQUIRED message displays.

Note – The clearance confirmation from Shanwick is uplinked to an aircraft as a datalink message. Please refer to the Received
Message procedure on page 29 for detailed instructions regarding how to view received messages.
Note – If the flight crew requests a new clearance or if Shanwick requires a change to an existing clearance, one or more reclearances may be received by the flight crew. These reclearances will be annotated "RECLEARANCE 1",
"RECLEARANCE 2", etc., although may not necessarily be numbered consecutively.
If a reclearance is received before a previous clearance or reclearance has been acknowledged, the reclearance with the highest reclearance number should be acknowledged.
If Shanwick is unable to approve a request for a new clearance, the flight crew will receive a reclearance which is a copy of the original with the phrase "UNABLE TO APPROVE REQUEST".
A reclearance for a new ETA at the entry point may be a copy of the original with the new ETA or may contain changes to any clearance parameter as a result of the new ETA.
