Abstract
A system and method for Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) chat is disclosed. The system receives CPDLC signals and displays CPDLC messages sent and received from both ownship aircraft and optionally other nearby aircraft on the ownship aircraft display. Not to interfere with a traditional CPDLC display, the system is an additional display of all CPDLC data and highlights messages to and from the ownship on the aircraft display. The system allows a declutter option to limit displayed data to that of a current data authority (CDA) as well as a limit in range, geography, altitude, aircraft type, etc.
