I have a nephew who, at ripe old age of 10 wants to be a pilot. In preparation for this he collects ACARS messages at his home in Queensland. He passes a lot on to me to try and work out what is in them, but since Uncle Pontious is a Conquest pilot he can't answer all of the questions as yet. (I'm sure P&W will be putting FADEC on the PT6's one day!)
One message that has completely baffled both of us (that is the royal "US") is from 767's, a FCP message. Does anyone know what FCP stands for?
The message has two lines of 8 parameters, we (again the royal we) have determined that the bottom line is a percentage figure, but a percentage figure of what. "We" think that this is a fuel message but really have no idea.
Can some provide some assistance. Uncle Pontious would be VERY grateful.
