Module 5- Case Study: Input Output Devices in Aviation Final draft
In this activity, you will analyze and study the subject presented and compose an outline of a response addressing the questions posed. Your writing should concentrate on the development of specific events, issues, or conditions of the subject and their relationships. The outline response should involve research and documented evidence of the subject (CPDLC) and be of sufficient content to write a 1.5 page report in Week 5.
Here you will turn in an outline of the paper using the APA Style template provided. Here are the steps:
- First, save this template
to your computer (.docx). Open the file and read the document. You will use this document for your submittal. - Read this outline guide
. - Delete the body of text from the template file. Begin entering information such as the title, your name, etc.
- Enter your thesis statement at the top of the first page in sentence format.
- Follow the outline format, entering the introduction, body, and conclusion. The final paper must be about 1.5 pages long.
- The outline must include at least two in-text citations and two sources, both in APA style.
Both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Eurocontrol (Europe’s FAA) actively research, experiment with, and deploy technologies in order to create a safer and more efficient airspace system.
An example is Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC), which in addition to the existing radio, creates a second channel for communication between pilots and air traffic controllers (ATC). Instead of keying the radio, ATC and pilots type instructions and requests and send via text messaging. This reduces ATC workload and frees up the radio channels for important communications.

Case Study Questions:
Briefly state the benefits derived from application of computer technology to controller – pilot communications. Explore in detail the challenges or risks of using CPDLC.
Your case study outline draft is due before the end of this module. Your instructor will review your work and provide feedback.
