Thanks for the info guys.
I guess what I'm saying is:
In the Oakland FIR if the Pilot is logged on to cpdlc, he does no further action in the cockpit as far as far as pushing the "send" button for a position report, its automatic. However, In the Tokyo FIR (Pacots and nopac), the pilot needs to physically push "send" button.
I'm guessing because of the different types of ads systems between Oakland and Tokyo, but I don't know.
I need a beer.
