Overview of ACARS System Functions

ACARS enhances air/ground communications by automatically reporting flight data like arrival and departure times to reduce voice communications. It uses VHF frequencies to transmit and receive data between aircraft and ground stations. ACARS is a data link system used in airline command and control through VHF, and can operate in demand or polled modes. It records flight events like OUT when ready for taxi, OFF on takeoff, ON on landing, and IN when at the gate.

ARINC Communication Addressing

and Reporting System( ACARS)

ACARS enhances the


effectiveness of air/ground airline
operational control
communications.
The system is designed to
reduce the requirement of voice
communications.

The reduction is done by reporting


automatically the arrival and
departure times of the aircraft and
other operational flight data.

The system uses an assigned VHF


airborne(SATCOM) frequency to tra
nsmit and receive data from ground
station.

Glossary
Data Link. A system that
allows exchange of digital data
over an rf link.
Air traffic control signaling
system (ATCSS) is a data link
system used by the air traffic
control system.

ACARS is a data link


system used by airline
command, control, and
management system,
using VHF
communication
frequencies.

Modes of operation
Demand Mode: An ACARS
mode of operation in which
communications may be init
ialed by the ground process
or or the airborne system.
Polled Mode: An ACARS
mode of operation in which
the airborne system transmi
ts only in response to recei
ved uplink messages (polls)

OUT - OFF - ON - I N
(Oevents
O OisI)recorded
An OOOI
as part of the ACARS
operation.
The OUT event is recorded
when the aircraft is clear of
the gate and ready to taxi.

The OFF event occurs when


the aircraft has lift off the
runway.
The ON event occurs when the
aircraft has landed.
The IN event occurs when the
aircraft has taxied to the ramp
area.
