ADS-C reports
Very interesting Rab-k your comprehensive explanation.
It is clear that everythink you put into the FMS you guys at the ground will get to see it, but I was told there were some exception like a time-marker you put for a crewrest or a TOC/TOD. Can you confirm that.At least in my experience controlers never complaint about those time-markers nor required any explanation.
You said that you can set met-contracts that sends report every 20 mins or R-longSM every 18 mins. Is that a standard use? According to GOLD "normal" contracts are set for 304 secs. unless otherwise stated.
And one last question about the 3 min error revise estimate. How come you want in Shanwick a revise estimate via ADS-C or voice if you are getting,say every 304 secs , a position report?
KZWY doesnt want them.
Thanks very much
