The following atc clearances can be received via datalink application By service providers (sita arinc) that can be interconnected to provide continuity of transmissions. 
The cpdlc a fans application which consists in Transmitting datalink formatted messages between pilot atc controller. the aim of fans to provide an integrated air traffic control system in areas where radar not available using gnss to define aircraft position with datalink voice communications through geostationary lower orbit satellites providing global coverage to atc centres this will provide atc with continuous information on aircraft positions direct pilot to controller communications when in operation this will allow separation distances to be significantly reduced if position accuracy degraded any reason aircraft still have tcas to warn of any potential conflict cpdlc permits datalink messages to be generated all stages of flight the messages have a fixed format defined within fms atsu computers are activated the atc controller or pilot either as an instruction or response to a request the messages are annotated according to whether a response required or not for example if pilot instructed to report levelling at fl310 then message will remain open until aircraft reaches fl310 when fms will send response the confirmation that aircraft at fl310 does not require a response from controller so message will automatically close one received at ground station example new york oceanic control (kzwy ctl) asks via cpdlc interface to climb maintain fl400 to report when levelled at fl400 the pilots have already answered wilco (we will comply). 
The ads a fans application which consists in Sending automatically aircraft surveillance data to air traffic controller. the future air navigation system (fans) an avionics system which provides direct data link communication between pilot the air traffic controller with ads (automatic dependent surveillance) application an air traffic controller can set up a contract with airplane navigational system to automatically send a position report on a specified periodic basis (such as every 5 minutes) the controller can also set up deviation contracts which would automatically send a position report if a certain lateral deviation was exceeded this contracts are set up between atc the aircraft systems the flight crew has no workload associated with this set up.

Question 55-18
The fans concept involves implementation of datalink systems use in 1 aircraft communications2 aircraft navigation3 aircraft surveillance At specified time a climb to specified altitude to be started the specified altitude to be maintained. the fans concept involves improvements to communication navigation surveillance communication improvements this involved a transition from voice communications to digital communications specifically acars was used as communication medium this allowed other application improvements an application was hosted on airplane known as controller?pilot data link communications cpdlc) this allows flight crew to select from a menu of standard atc communications send message receive a response a peer application exists on ground the air traffic controller they can select from a set of messages send communications to airplane the flight crew will respond with a wilco standby or reject the current standard message delivery under 60 seconds one way navigation improvements this involves a transition from inertial navigation to satellite navigation using gps satellites this also introduced concept of actual navigation performance (anp) previously flight crews would be notified of system being used to calculate position (radios or inertial systems alone) because of deterministic nature of gps satellites (constellation geometry) navigation systems can calculate worst case error based on number of satellites tuned the geometry of those satellites (note it can also characterize potential errors in other navigation modes as well) so improvement not only provides airplane with a much more accurate position it also provides an alert to flight crew should actual navigation performance exceed required navigation performance (rnp) surveillance improvements this involves transition from voice reports (based on inertial position) to automatic digital reports the application known as ads c (automatic dependent surveillance contract) in this system an air traffic controller can set up a contract with airplane navigational system to automatically send a position report on a specified periodic basis (such as every 5 minutes) the controller can also set up deviation contracts which would automatically send a position report if a certain lateral deviation was exceeded this contracts are set up between atc the aircraft systems the flight crew has no workload associated with this set up.

Acars systems consist of On board units ground units. the acars system used to transmit non vocal messages between an aircraft the ground vhf or satellite communication it can be used in particular operators to transmit information in real time (meteorological data flight progress information etc) there are three major categories of that can be transmitted non vocal (atc) communication messages with an air traffic control centre (cpdlc in particular) operational communication messages (aoc) with operator's operations centre maintenance messages exclusively from aircraft to maintenance centre acars messages are transmitted as a priority vhf or satellite if vhf unavailable they pass through an acars service provider's server (arinc or sita) before arriving at operator's centre. Question 55-20
The uplink datalink 'expect cruise climb at time means A climb instruction should be received to initiate cruise climb at specified time. Revised ecqb04 october 2017 mathildedb as an atc 'expect' means to me 'instruction should be receive is not (at all) an instruction to climb (although we do not use it very often because of high risk of misunderstanding) according to datalink clearance monitoring certificate 'expect cruise climb at time is followed 'all are clearance expectations although these messages are included in fans set air traffic controllers are discouraged from using them since they may cause confusion might induce crews to follow 'expect' message'.

The fms overfly function consists in Manually selecting a flight plan waypoint to fly over when sequencing it instead of flying at transition. With most fms you do not actually overfly waypoints you start turn just before reaching way point so you in effect turn early (before you reach waypoint) cut corner the 'overfly' function ensures that aircraft doesn't cut corner but does go overhead specified waypoint before turning on to next track.
