Some of the recent systems, such as VHF data link (VDL), are based on the line‐of‐sight links between aircraft and ground stations, thus limiting their deployment to the continental domain. In oceanic areas, satellite‐based systems are proposed as the main solution for future aeronautical data link communications known as aeronautical mobile satellite service (AMSS). Both systems are intended to support very different types of services with mobile nodes. In this context, traffic characterization, communication architecture and protocols have to be explored and validated. These are the fields in which a simulator becomes handy, allowing the validation of techniques and algorithms. This chapter describes the simulations that consider those technologies that are dedicated to en‐route airspace for safety of life communications, mainly supporting the communications taking place between a controller and a pilot. VDL mode 2 is the subject of the first presented simulation model.
