Its a bit like sending texts, when we got into UK airspace Scottish asked if we were CPDLC equipped, they use it to send clearances and we use to send requests or responses
I’ll let you know how it pans out wednesday…

Some previous threads e.g. here suggest this loads the FMS directly, though the pilot needs to confirm it manually.
That is correct. Actually looking up the Cessna advice it is more around lack of stability in the standard rather than it not working. That said I hear a lot of CPDLC problems over voice with Maastricht.
Ok
We tried the CPDLC extensively on the way down to Alicante but with no success
A suggestion has been made that a J indication on the Flightplan should be added which somehow informs the receiving stations to expect CPDLC?
Anyone heard of this ?
Trying it on the way back on Saturday
