This report presents the results of the anlaysis on the communication characteristics of the Very High Frequency (VHF) Data Link (VDL) subnetwork, as currently being standardized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The ICAO VDL subnetwork is intended to operate within the future Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN). The analysis is the first part of the investigation on the application of the future VDL subnetwork within the Netherlands. In this first part, the emphasis has been placed on the retrieval of the communication characteristics, in terms of effective data link capacity (data throughout) toward the users and the average time needed to transfer a data packet across the VDL subnetwork (within an ATN environment). The figures provide a thorough insight in the performance of the VDL subnetwork. The impact of the relevant VDL subnetwork parameters on the VDL communication characteristics has been analyzed, too.
