PBCS - RCP Specifications Quiz

What is an RCP parameter?

• A routing method used in contingency procedures

• A performance characteristic that provides the basis for developing an RCP specification

• An emergency contact value for CPDLC systems

• A required pilot phraseology guide

What does RCP allocation mean?

• A portion of an RCP parameter value assigned to a specific component of the communication system

• The procedure for SATVOICE rerouting

• A value indicating link loss probability

• A delay tolerance set for controller workload

What is Actual Communication Performance (ACP)?

• The estimated voice latency from ground to cockpit

• The portion of communication transaction time that is monitored against the required communication monitored performance (RCMP) values

• The maximum allowed manual delay in controller reaction

• The time pilot takes to read a message

What is Required Communication Monitored Performance (RCMP)?

• An RCP allocation that defines the minimum system availability

• An RCP allocation that specifies the maximum time against which ACP is assessed

• The time required for SATCOM handshake

• A statistical mean of CPDLC message round trip

What is Required Communication Technical Performance (RCTP)?

• The minimum value for link continuity monitoring

• A technical performance value for pilot response calculation

• An RCP allocation that specifies the maximum technical time for relevant parts of the ATS unit's system, aeronautical station's system, the network systems and the aircraft system, for which there is no human contribution to the communication transaction performance

• The average communication availability from the aircraft perspective
