Is it typical to fly transoceanic and pass all position reports through guard (assuming HFs checked good on the ground, but not in flight)?
That's called CPDLC. It's awesome.Isnt the new hotness to get “texts” from ATC and HF is just a backup? Did the navy not buy that option on its P8s?
We didn’t buy it...That's called CPDLC. It's awesome.
You’re fucking kidding me, right? The C-40s have it.We didn’t buy it...

Are the HF's on the P-8 digital now?In P-8:
HF Primary, required to go oceanic. If I lost HF after I started transit, would try Inmarsat Phone secondary (pretty reliable) tertiary would be via relay on 5 Fingers.
Other radios, if loaded/configured, could be used to talk to homeplate and relay as well...
Pilots do all the talking now on HF Oceanic. Much less painful (except when SelCal doesn’t work, like my trip home from Hawaii last Thursday) and I have to monitor HF’s...

...along with the ability to overlay radar on a mission screen.
