HF Acars Abbreviations

[BOBRR]

Hello,

Might someone please provide, or suggest a link to, a pretty basic list for the commonly used HF acars abbreviations ?

BTW: are they the same for vhf acars ?

Thanks,
Bob

Google for PC-HFDL, download it and read the manual - it's all in there, or if your even too lazy to do that, it's in a Wiki here on RR.

From OP: Where, Please ?

Hi,

Thanks for help.
As always, much appreciated.

I did look at the HELP file in PC-HFDL.
Is this what you are referring to ?

I did not see any list of acars message abbreviations in it, but at my age, things are easy to miss.
Is it there, somewhere ?

Regards,
Bob

Unfortunately we don't have these abbreviations in this wiki - where do they exist, Martin? URL?

What abbreviations are you looking for?

Down here in the boonies I don't get much HFDL traffic. I get Auckland and Molokai base stations but not much aero responses - I guess these days most Oceanic stuff is on CPDLC via the satellits.

If you could cut'n'paste a typical message we could have a go at deciphering it.
