The plot thickens

Excellent work Avionics Spook

What about the HF? If the machine was in a high dive (no sat), could report of the Amber ECAM Advisory go out on HF? Say as customer option. AF was tight with AB, maybe they had all the bells and whistles.

Additionally, I suspect the ADVISORY comment is to call to attention the fact that this is not a real red warning to the crew.

It's a minor Amber "Excessive Cabin Rate of Change" ECAM low-level advisory (not an ECAM warning; not a loss of pressure as the press keeps thinking.) If it had been a bang, it would have been a red: Cab Alt Warning with associated Pressurization controller faults.

But it wasn't.

But maybe acars format only had faults and warnings.... who knows. It is to alert mtc to the fact that pressurization issues may have to be dealt with before re-dispatch, if my guess is correct.

Thnx
