In February 2015, all flights above FL285 in EU airspace are required to have CPDLC/Link 2000+.
However, I have been told by an avionics provider that some aircraft types are exempt from the requirement. Where can I find the complete list of exemptions?
The European Commission has published the Commission Implementing Decision of 9.12.2011 on exemptions under Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) N° 29/2009 (the CPDLC rule)
It contains the following table of aircraft that are permanently exempted from the CPDLC implementing rule.
