FMC\u2019s that are from certain manufacturers can send a type of Waypoint Posisition Report (WPR). This provides an alternative for non-FANS equipped aircraft. These Waypoint Position Reports (WPR\u2019s) can be done manually or automatically. It is ACARS based and goes through CADS. It cannot do CPDLC. There have been some FMC trials using HFDL as a medium. Some difficulties have arisen because the crews did not adhere to proper procedure. Reults have been mixed \u2013 some initial results were encouraging and some regions have found that success criteria have not been met. NAVCANADA will complete a thorough study in the Gander FIR using VHF Data Links and Satellites to determine whether the quality can be sufficient for operational service.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
