least two separate documents: (1) Interoperability requirements for 
ARINC 622-based data communications that provide initial ATS in oceanic 
and remote airspace and (2) assessment methodology and safety 
objectives for applying ARINC 622-based data communications to provide 
initial ATS in oceanic and remote airspace.
