As of July 13th, 2023, France will require all aircraft operating within French FIRs, including LFFF, LFEE, LFMM, LFBB, and LFRR FIRs, to log on to CPDLC. This mandate makes France the first state to implement such a requirement.

 

To operate above FL195, it is necessary to log on to CPDLC if the aircraft is equipped with operable ATN-B1 CPDLC and the crew has received training to operate it. Meeting these requirements signifies capability. In other words, if the aircraft is capable, CPDLC login is mandatory. If it is not capable, there will be no altitude restrictions on the flight.
