2 Message Status Line
The status line displays the status of the message. For new messages that require
a response, the status will be OPEN or STANDBY. Once a response other than
STANDBY is sent, the status changes to ACCEPTED, REJECTED, or CLOSED.
If no response has been sent and the timer expires, the status changes to
TIMEDOUT.
3 ATC MSG RESPONSE
The nature of the message determines the required response. Some messages
require only a simple response, for example WILCO, AFFIRM, or ROGER. Other
messages require the pilot to select a response that has a corresponding response
report page. The pilot enters the appropriate data into the fields on the response
report page, then verifies the response. The corresponding response, either simple
or verified, is shown at the bottom of the message page once the response has been
sent and received by the ground. The table below shows the possible responses to
a message.
Note: Selection of STANDBY generates a downlink response and restarts the
ATC MSG alert timer. The alert timer will not expire and the message will
not be closed until an additional response is sent.
4 PRINT
Push – prints displayed message. A message that requires no response will have
only the PRINT LSK.
Note: The *PRINT selection is available for each message. Selecting *PRINT
does not generate a downlink message.
