ACARS Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System

ACARS Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System Aircraft communications are for Air Traffic Control (ATC) and Airline Operational Control (AOC), sometimes called “Company Communications”. ACARS is operated by ARINC in North American and by SITA (Société Internationale de Télécommunications Aéronautiques) in Europe. Both ARINC and SITA provide a full-range of services via satellite, known as GLOBALink® for ARINC.

OUT-OFF-ON-IN(OOOI) Ooee ACARS first job: OUTFlight leaving, triggered by release of parking brake. OFFTakeoff, triggered by the air-ground sense system. ONLanding, triggered by the air-ground sense system. INParking, triggered by setting of the parking brake. Triggered means interconnection of systems.

Monitoring systems technologies collect data from various components, sub- systems or systems, which is then used to draw certain conclusions, based on algorithms programmed into the collection system. The monitoring collection system can be ground-based, while monitoring systems flying in the air.

ACARS Message Format An ACARS message has 3 building blocks: Preamble, Text and Block Check. Characters are composed from digital bits transmitted as 2 audible tones (1200 and 2400HZ), through the VHF transceiver. Textbook page 43

ACARS “OFF” Message Each aircraft has its’ own unique identifier, so the crew only receives ACARS messages intended for that particular aircraft. A message can be sent in milliseconds by data which would take several minutes by voice. Textbook page 44

The ARINC 429 Specification The ARINC 429 Specification establishes how avionics equipment and systems communicate on commercial aircraft. The specification defines electrical characteristics, word structures and protocol to establish bus communication. ARINC 429 utilizes the simplex, twisted shielded pair data bus standard.

ARINC 429 data words are 32 bit words made up of five primary fields: Parity – 1 bit Sign/Status Matrix (SSM) – 2 bits Data – 19 bits Source/Destination Identifier (SDI) – 2 bits Label – 8 bits

Hand tools

Hammer Ball Peen

Ergonomics When using a hammer ensure that the handle is tight. When striking a blow with the hammer, use the forearm as an extension of the handle. Swing the hammer by bending the elbow, not the wrist.

Screwdrivers The screwdriver can be classified by its shape, type of blade, and blade length.

An offset screwdriver may be used when vertical space is limited. Offset screwdrivers are constructed with both ends bent 90° to the handle. A screwdriver should not be used for chiseling or prying.

When using the a screwdriver, select the largest screwdriver whose blade will make a good fit in the screw that is to be turned.

A common screwdriver must fill at least 75 percent of the screw slot.

Pliers and Plier-Type Cutting Tools

Slip joint pliers

Pliers tongue and groove

1. Do not make pliers work beyond their capacity. It is easy to break them, or nick the edges. If this occurs, they are practically useless. 2. Do not use pliers to turn nuts. In just a few seconds, a pair of pliers can damage a nut.

Wrenches The wrenches most often used are classified as open- end, box-end, socket, adjustable, ratcheting and special wrenches.

Combination Wrench

Wrenches Well-manufactured box-end wrenches are made with 12 points so they can be used in places having as little as 15° swing.
