SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SENDING AND RECEIVING AIR TRAFFIC NETWORK MESSAGES USING DIFFERENT PROTOCOLS
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a selection of at least one of;
an initial air traffic control (ATC) message communications protocol and an initial controller-pilot data link communications (CPDLC) system;
determining if a second communications protocol was selected;
if the second communications protocol was selected, trapping at least one of a received ATC message in a first communications protocol, and a to be sent ATC message in the first communications protocol; and
at least one of sending an ATC message in the selected communications protocol and receiving an ATC message in the selected communications protocol.
