The Aircraft Condition Monitoring System (ACMS) contains software that
provides the operator useful reports on the condition of the airframe, engines,

The ACMS consists of:

signals representing certain flight condition and airplane systems
operating performance and converts them to a digital form for recording
on the DFDR

• Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS).
• ACARS air/ground message functionality continuing to expand with
additional message formats.
