Abstract
An apparatus and method of operating a drilling system with a directional guidance system and a drilling operation system is described. The directional guidance system and drilling operation system may engage in bi-directional communication during a slide drilling operation. This communication may be continual during the drilling operation. Parameters of the drilling instructions and the drilling operation system may be changed in response to these communications resulting in new instructions and changed slide drilling operations.
