The SATCOM installation in 9M-MRO?
What model of SATCOM system was installed in this Aircraft. I haven't heard anything from Boeing or The SATCOM installer since this all began. I understand INMARSATs calculations but does the SATCOM system, have any more to it than we know.
If say for example the ADIRU Position speed heading data info sent to the SATCOM for the BSU Beam steering Unit. If the info was cut or missing, what would happen to the gear?
Would it work based on its last SPEED and HEADING input ie. stored in some type of buffer. Or would the system read an error and park the Antenna ( if it was a mechanical type) or just freeze the position say in a modern phased array type antenna?
We need to hear Avionics SATCOM techos out there people who work on the gear. Anyone know brand of gear it was, Rockwell Collins, Honeywell ?
