The Aviationist » What SATCOM, ACARS and Pings tell us about the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370
ACARS transmissions can be switched off by the pilot from inside the cockpit, by disabling the use of VHF and SATCOM channels. This means that the system is not completely switched off, but it can’t transmit to the receiving stations.
