Abstract: A method for geo-locating the raw data exchanged between an aircraft and a VHF receiver is provided. Each item of raw data includes an identifier of the aircraft transmitting this item of data. The method includes obtaining position data of the aircraft. In this regard, the position data includes a piece of information which represents the identifier of the aircraft. The method also includes correlating the raw data and the position data by determining the data that has an identical identifier.

Abstract: A process for the automatic searching by an aircraft for a communication address of a ground entity of an ATN network. In the process, each address is coded according to a hierarchical binary tree structure including several fields. A first field identifies the network and the subsequent fields identify entities of the network. The process determines in the aircraft the address of the communication center to be contacted from the identity of an ground router which it receives, by comparing the received address of the router with those of the addresses contained in a database of the aircraft, and retaining as an address that which has the largest number of characters in common with the address of the ground router, given the tree structure of the addresses. Such a process may find particular application to ATN communications.
