1. An avionics system comprising:
- a human machine interface configured to display a user interface; and
a control device coupled to the human machine interface, wherein the control device is configured to;
send and receive controller/pilot data link communications (CPDLC) messages;
send a logon message to an air traffic control center;
receive a logon response message sent from the air traffic control center, the logon response message sent upon a successful logon to the air traffic control center in response to the logon message, the logon response message specifying a first CPDLC version that a current data authority supports; and
adjust the user interface based on the first CPDLC version specified in the logon response message.

11. A method of providing a user interface for a Controller/Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC), comprising:
-
receiving a logon response message sent from an air traffic control center, the logon response message sent upon a successful logon to the air traffic control center in response to a logon message, the logon response message specifying that the current data authority supports a first CPDLC version; and adjusting an output of the user interface based on the first CPDLC version specified in the logon response message. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable medium on which program instructions are embodied, wherein the program instructions are operable, when executed by at least one programmable processor, to cause the at least one programmable processor to:
-
determine a first Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) version from a logon response message received from a first air traffic control (ATC) center, the logon response message sent upon a successful logon to the air traffic control center in response to a logon message and including the first CPDLC version; and provide instructions to a human machine interface to display a first page where only messages supported by the first CPDLC version are selectable. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
