ACARS - Aircraft Communications Addressing, and Reporting System ACARS is a digital datalink system for transmission of short messages between aircraft and ground stations via airband radio or satellite. The protocol was designed by ARINC and deployed in 1978, using the Telex format. More ACARS radio stations were added subsequently by SITA. ACARS messages will be send as soon as the Aircraft detect an antenna. If no antenna is detected the message will be halted and send later. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
COM: The airline pay ARINC/SITA per message send, to minimize the cost it is possible to bounce the acars message from the ARINC OPSCENTER or the SITA Gateway to an email account

Down link NOC can receive A81, A84 and AGM text messages from the aircraft. The message is shown on the flight as a MVT note, and on the aircraft panel number of unread messages are shown. | ![]() | ||||||||||||||||
Read the message Right click in the aircraft panel and select the Acars symbol or click on the message bubble. This will open the message window. the messages from the selected aircraft will be shown. You can search for a period or aricraft. | ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||||||||
Uplink The uplink method can be different from airline to airline depending on the Vendor of the equipment in the aircraft and the comunication vendor (ARINC, Sita etc.). The Communication vendor will search for the aircraft and deliver the message. Enter the message, click Next A window with the ACARS receivers will open. Note: For this to work, you need to specify an ACARS template for the aircraft. See Aircraft Uplink template. | ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||||||||
Configuration You need to create a template and an event. In the Integration factory you create the basic body of the message The template is used in the Acars Message Uplink Event. Add the receiver COM channel. | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||||||||||||||||
