B777 Data Link
Hi
FCOM - Communications: " If all boxes (VHF, SATCOM, HF) are deselected, ACARS loses the capability to send downlink messages, but can receive and display uplink messages." :confused: how? unless it means that we have no controls to block the channel required for uplink messages. thanks |
by deselecting or switching off you have turned off your capability to send, not the systems ability to receive.
|
thanks :ok:
|
Mmmmmm
Don't know about that? The times I've de-selected them all the EICAS Message "Datalink lost" comes up. Try it. |
in ref to downlink perhaps
|
1/ request some weather
Then 2/ immediately deselect all COMMS off to get the Datalink Lost MSG. I'll bet you that the weather never comes back until you select one valid and available path. :ok: |
thats interesting ;)
if its true then it will negate the FCOM. anyway worth trying. |
I downloaded the smart cockpit guide for 777 Data link system
http://www.smartcockpit.com/download...unications.pdf Check page 81 and 86. I would think that after you deselect all means of COMM the system would display 1/ Datalink lost 2/ No ACARS Connection. meaning you get nothing to or from the Aircraft. |
thanks
the link you've provided is the FCOM see page 74 of it, where it says: " If all boxes are deselected, ACARS loses the capability to send downlink messages, but can receive and display uplink messages." regards |
Ok.
The answer is to check the Manager messages. |
