And how does the slow burning tire explain the extra fix put into the active route of the FMC?
The EIDAS warning and the tire pressure warning would also appear on ACARS the tire pressure warning as the aircraft taxied.

I may have missed that but I don't think the extra warnings on ACARS have been reported in any of the briefings.
