Following receipt of the requested data, the label line for 1R changes from CO
RTE to REVIEW and a page select prompt appears next to line 1R. If unrequested
route data is received, the unrequested company route identifier is displayed next
to line 1R. Whether requested or not, the route data may be reviewed on the
ACARS ROUTE page via line 1R.
NOTE: ACARS ROUTE DATA is displayed in the scratchpad when
uplinked ACARS route data is received.
Line 2R RWY, on the ACARS MENU page, is where the intended departure
runway is entered.
Line 2L T/O DATA REQ, is pushed to initiate the T/O data request (downlink),
after the intended runway is entered by the flight crew.
Upon receipt of the takeoff data, the label line for 2R changes from RWY to
REVIEW, and a page select prompt appears next to line 2R. Pushing 2R then
selects the ACARS TAKEOFF PAGE. If unrequested takeoff data is received, the
first runway identifier is displayed on line 2R by default. Up to four runways,
either requested or unrequested for the takeoff data, can be received by the FMS
until the throttles are set for takeoff thrust.
NOTE: ACARS TAKEOFF DATA is displayed in the scratchpad when
uplinked ACARS takeoff data is received.
Line 3L POS REPORT SEND, initiates the transmission of current LAT/LONG
position, time, altitude, temperature, wind (bearing and speed), and up to 22
characters of free text from the scratchpad.
NOTE: Unsolicited uplinks may be requested at any time. Downlinks
may be manual or automatic if an uplink is received. When a
position report is downlinked, SEND will be displayed next to POS
REPORT.
Line 4L WIND PLAN REQ, allows the flight crew to obtain a printout of wind
data at a single flight level for waypoints ahead. When received, the requested
wind plan data is directed to the cockpit printer and is not displayed or used by the
FMS.
Line 5L WIND CHG REQ, allows the flight crew to update wind data for FMS
flight plan predictions. When received either requested or unrequested, the wind
change data is inserted into the specified FMS flight plan at the appropriate
waypoints.
Descent wind information, as an option, may be included in the wind change data.
Descent wind information is inserted into the DES FORECAST page of the FMS,
for the specified flight plan.
