data bases).
The AOC functions (Airline Operational Control) provide:
− Uplink messages - reception of data or requests from ground station
to A/C.
− Downlink messages - transmission of reports or requests from A/C to
ground station.
The uplink messages are sent either in response to a pilot request, or
initiated by ground station.
The different AOC functions are:
− F-PLN INIT, enabling provision of flight plan and associated
performance data.
− TO DATA, enabling provision of take-off performance up to 4
runways.
WIND data, enabling uplink of climb, cruise, descent and alternate
winds.
FLIGHT reports, may be downlinked manually or/and automatically,
providing Position, Flight progress or Performance data.
AOC MINI ACARS option provides Broadcast data for periodic
transmission of flight reports.
Data transmission is by A/C ACARS/ATSU system.
AOC functions are available only if A/C Data Link communication is
installed and operative. This is confirmed to pilot when (*) symbol
adjacent to the AOC prompts is displayed.
(Refer to OPS Manual for configuration of communication system).
