Hi Guys
The company I work for has acquired some of Qantas' ex B737-400 fitted with the Teledyne control 70-171k ACARS system.
We have the manuals from the manufacturer for this system but there are some differences in the actual software for the Qantas fit. Would any Qantas pilots have a copy of the manual specific to the Qantas fit that they would be wiling to share, a copy via email perhaps?
Most of the system is working fine but we are unable to receive ATIS/tafor/metar data when requested.
The data frequency is correct and the free text part works fine as does everything else , but the Id for the weather station only has space for 3 letters to be input and does not accept these as a valid airfields. The manufacturers manual seems to show the need to enter a 4 letter ICAO code for weather reports.
Thanks in advance and please feel free to PM if you would prefer.
Regards
Sjm
