The ground maintenance will download the complete data report from each real time fault or event displayed by ACARS;
Interesting but can you describe or explain what "download" means in this precise case. Is it downloaded from a computer inside the company maintenance building or an on-board system or computer. I understand that SATCOM being expensive, only the "headers" are sent and the rest is stored until further treatment. But retrieve from where?

And about the report, the 2nd of July is outside the ICAO delay to publish an incident/accident report as it should be published within one month. May be that the BEA has already released their report to some official aviation bodies.
