![]() ![]() The airborne unit using several sensors and relayed via ACARS messages to a The most basic one is the Flight Event Reporter, also known as OOOIĪfter the major events: Out, Off, On, and In. We are interested in the applications on top of the ACARS transport network. Therefore, mostĪspects of ACARS-as-transport are not relevant for us. System I provide we use the internet as transport layer. These aspects of ACARS are not simulated by the However it uses quiteĭifferent technology, based on either classical VHF transmission or It can be compared toĮ-mail, or even better, to cell phone text messaging. Sometimes, a hobby really teaches you how to do things properly.īy itself is mostly a transport network, used to pass short messages backĪnd forth between aircraft and ground facilities. No it is not the same software that runs on "my" Iridium SATCOM gear aboard these planes, but it surely is the same concept, the same thinking, and the same design principles. ![]() It remains remarkable that this hobby system, which I started around the year 2000 as part of the (long defunct) Squawkbox for PS1, now has led to a large number of real wide body aircraft to routinely cross the oceans under ICAO PBCS rules. New telex workaround: "HC001" to ask for a Pilot Edge ATIS if your ACARS client does not have the "inforeq peatis" implemented (yet). New information request: "peatis" for Pilot Edge ATIS messages. ![]() ![]() All software uses the same network backend, so no matter whatĬlient you install, you will be able to talk to everybody else.Īn "active account" has used the ACARS system at least once over the last There is much more modern software available from the flight sim developerĬommunity. Be aware this is very, very old software Of the Microsoft Flight Simulator, just go here. QUICK PICK-UP: if you are looking for the ACARS client to install on top Depending on whether you want to simulateĪn airplane or a dispatch/ATC station, you need another module.
