DJ777:
takata, with all due restect, it may also apply to forum reports. Frankly, I doubt the auto position report at 0200 contained all this info and the BEA did not mention it. Is it not possible that what you describe is an ADS full position report, not a simplified company one ?
All those fields are automatically calculated by the FMGS and within the minimum ACARS allocated size, it is possible to send a lot more than just an altitude, position and speed. By the way, the BEA did not develop anything about the last leg auto-reports beside the maintenance ACARS. This aircraft was sending also a real time engine monitoring report, an operational report (including fuel left, etc.).
So, wait and see, I'm pretty sure they are one step beyond us in this case because they have much more data on hand than published yet. I asked someone to get the exact format used by Air France for its long haul position reports and I'll get his answer soon.
