manageDCT

From an operational perspective, a DCT action can represent multiple cases. The interface definition has been considered to fulfil the op-erational scenarios listed below. For completeness reasons the required options to be passed in the RequestDCT input are given below:
• DCT to a (intermediate) Point
o to
Allows the sending of a single route point name (or coordinate) with optional intermediate point. In this case, the MSB-CB will automatically determine the most likely type of DCT instruction given (i.e. make the distinction between “to-original-route” and “to-trajectory” as given below). From an interface and client implementation perspective this option allows to perform DCT actions without the requirement for the client to reference to index in the trajectory. Also, this option allows also performing a DCT instruction for an ASPL for which no trajectory is available.
• DCT to Point on the Trajectory (Uplink = UM74)
o to-trajectory
 intermediate-point not sent
 end-point represents the index point and posi-tion in the trajectory
• DCT to Point on the Original Route (Uplink = UM74 + UM72)
o to-original-route
 intermediate-point not sent
 end-point represents the point name (located on the original route)
• DCT to (Intermediate) Point not located on the trajectory; in this case the end-point is on the trajectory (Uplink = UM79: "CLEARED TO [end-point] VIA [intermediate-point])
o to-trajectory
 intermediate-point represents the route point name or position of the intermediate point
 end-point represents the index point and posi-tion in the trajectory
• DCT to (Intermediate) Point not located on the trajectory; in this case the end-point is on the original route (Uplink = UM79: "CLEARED TO [end-point] VIA [intermediate-point] + UM72)
o to-original-route
 intermediate-point represents the route point name or position of the intermediate point
 end-point represents the point name (located on the original route)
• DCT to (Intermediate) Point not located on the trajectory, and no end-point specified. In this case, the DCT is considered to be a point completely off-route, which is not to be rejoined. A typical example is a DCT to a point outside the AoI, which is not located on the trajectory (Uplink = UM74).
o to-trajectory
 intermediate-point represents the route point name or position of the intermediate point
 end-point represents the null index point
Note 1: A current heading restriction will be removed upon receiving a DCT input.
Note 2: For ASPLs, a DCT to an Intermediate OR End Point is allowed (with whatever DctData option) provided any reference to a trajectory point is populated with the null-TrajectoryPointNumber. Inputs combining both Intermediate AND End Point will not be processed.
