TCAS fault due to antenna fault
Could anybody confirm that this is really the correct interpretation of the error code 3443005 given in the ACARS message?

Since the Air France ACARS printout has this as "WRN", I would believe this is a consecutive error resulting from the 341115 Failure ("FLR") error code reported also at 02:10Z, right?

Potential explanation of a consecutive error could be the TCAS dependence on pressure altitude. With respect to the ACARS message time stamps, I think we need to compare them to the logical interdependence of the systems to give more substance to the analysis.

Would be great if Greenspinner et al. could shed some light on this, since I have no access to A330 material at this level of detail....
