CPDLC DCL Departure Clearances with Data Comm
Text messaging between pilots and air traffic control is now possible with Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC). CPDLC Departure Clearance (DCL) procedures allow ATC to approve and send departure clearances using digital communications rather than voice communications at many larger and busy airports, increasing efficiency and saving 10-15 minutes on every departure.
