EASA SIB 2014-15
Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) - Data Link : Instruction to turn a specified number of degrees left or right (UM 215)
EASA Safety Information Bulletin SIB No. 2014-15 addresses the Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) Uplink Message 215 (UM215), which instructs pilots to turn a specified number of degrees left or right. The bulletin highlights that some avionics display the turn instruction as a three-digit heading rather than a relative turn, leading to potential misinterpretation by flight crews. This issue affects all aircraft and Air Navigation Service Providers using CPDLC systems.
