Abstract

The Aeronautical Data Link System (ADLS) is being developed as part of the Federal Aviation Administration´s modernization plan to improve safety, reduce delays, and increase the efficiency of resource utilization,. Terminal Data Link (TDL), an ADLS application, will provide five services to support Controller/Pilot Data Link Communication (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Panel, 1996). These services will require controller use of a keyboard-input module to communicate with pilots. At terminal radar approach control (TRACON) facilities, the keyboard-input module includes an ABCstyle alphanumeric keyboard and a trackball
