Universal Avionics announced the latest version of its Software Control Number–SCN 31.0–for its UniLink UL-800/801 Communications Management Unit at the 57th annual AEA International Convention and Trade Show in Nashville, Tenn. The UL-800/801 is widely used in upgrades to business jets that fly across the North Atlantic Ocean that need to meet Fans 1/A and CPDLC (controller-pilot datalink communications) and European Link 2000+ program mandates. These mandates basically amount to airborne text messaging between air traffic controllers and pilots. “That is texting and flying,” said Universal Avionics senior sales manager Robert Randall.
