Answer
As CPDLC capability requires both aircraft equipage and appropriately trained flight crew, if one of these conditions is not fulfilled, operators should not indicate CPDLC ATN (Aeronautical Telecommunication Network) VDL (Very High Frequency Data Link) Mode 2 capability in the flight plan. Furthermore, in that case operators should not plan flights above FL285 in the applicable airspace.
