  • @chesterwang3070
    @chesterwang3070 4 года назад +1

    No push back required. I think the parking brake is engaged when the engines are starting. If there was pushback required the parking brake would have to be released before engine start as the aircraft wouldn't move if the brakes were engaged. In that case, the brakes would be released, armed, then released. However the FMC here only shows brake released after all engines have been started, so I think no push back was required in this pic.

    Now 4 years later almost nobody is using ACARS anymore because they moved everything to the more than 10 times faster VDL2 communication system, which uses a similar protocol, but the the RF side an advanced high speed D8PSK modulation instead of the old 2400 bps AFSK. ACARS operates on I believe 4 specific channels in the 131 MHz VHF range in Europe, while VDL2 is on 136 MHz VHF and currently occupies 6 different channels in Europe. There is also HFDL on several HF frequencies between 3 and 21 MHz, while JAERO is kind of the same but operates via several transponders on 1548 MHz downlink via Inmarsat.

    I'm guessing no pushback was required, because it was only 3 minutes from releasing brakes to take-off...much less time than it takes to attach/push/disconnect the tractor? Also - the engines were started _before_ the brakes were released, whereas they're usually started during the pushback procedure (ie. brakes released first to enable the push; then engine start)

  • @patolt1628
    @patolt1628 4 года назад +2

    Happy to see you again. Very informative and very clear as usual. May I ask you some short questions?
    Regarding MH370, indeed ACARS has been shut down but it restarted later on, emitting the so-called "pings" to an Inmarsat satellite. And if we know now where MH370 approximately crashed, in the south of the Indian Ocean, it is precisely because the ACARS was not completely dead. That's how they got the famous seven arcs giving a probable location of the crash. Problem: no other communication mean seemed to be working. It's all about ACARS in this mystery and it's a pretty disturbing thing. Moreover some specialists said at the time that it was impossible for the crew to shut it down in flight. Hence my questions:
    1. Is it started manually or automatically in the starting procedure of the aircraft?
    2. Even if it is automatic, would it be possible or not to shut it down manually in flight (I mean without descending to the lower floor in the avionic compartment)? If yes this means that it might have been deliberately shut down by the crew. Why? That's another question ... If not, why did it stop?
    3. If it is only automatic: let's imagine a total electrical failure leading to the shut down of everything (provided that it makes sense) followed later on by a restoration (partial or complete). Could this restoration trigger the automatic restart of the ACARS (and only the ACARS)? Why in this case no aircraft data (especially A/C position) are transmitted anymore from the ACARS except the famous "pings" telling to the satellite "yes I am here" and only that?
    Obviously I don't ask you the solution about this mysterious case, just some additional information about ACARS, if possible and not classified of course. Thank you in advance. Best regards
