Technical Discipline: Aeronautical Communications

Aeronautical communications is a discipline covering the highly specialized and mission critical communications such as aircraft-to-ground, aircraft-to-aircraft, and aircraft-to-satellite.

Recent changes in this field include: advanced satellite communications installations in aircraft, and very high frequency digital radio, and data link applications reporting aircraft position in transoceanic operations, as well as airline, air traffic, and passenger services. Because of such rapid changes in this field, it is critical to aviation safety that we have an expert in satellite and data link communications, data link and aircraft surveillance applications, aeronautical communications network, HF and VHF datalink, circuit mode and packet mode communications.
