NBC News: FAA Says New Communication Technology Could Help Flights Arrive Faster

Federal Aviation Administration controllers and pilots are using new computer technology that could help flights get to their destinations faster and safer.

DataComm, an instantaneous communication system, will soon replace the back and forth radio conversations between pilots and controllers.

The new system sends text messages and computer file transfers about flight routes, air traffic and weather directly to the plane's cockpit.
