Nearly hands-free for pilots operating controls (not all pilots have a copilot), simple and reliable technology available to planes and airports of all sizes, high amount of message flexibility, faster than typing or some other form of electronic message selection. Why do quarterbacks yell out code words to call plays? After all, it’s loud stadium and it’s only a couple structs worth of data! | ||

There is no need for pilots or anyone to type anything. Weather data can be published every minute and shown live as a full map over the screen, not as random abbreviations of wind and cloud coverage. And we already know where each aircraft is, and where they took off, and where they're headed. So practically speaking the radio talk can be limited to only the important communication and emergencies, while increasing the situational awareness by at least ten fold. | ||
