Aircraft Mass Messaging Software

Aircraft mass messaging software enables businesses to communicate with their customers or employees via text messages. This form of communication allows for quick, targeted communication that is highly scalable. It also allows for tracking and reporting of the communication efforts. Several types of business use this type of software for many different purposes, including sending appointment reminders or notifications about flight delays. Some companies use this software to inform their employees of work schedule changes or to send out employee wellness surveys.

The term ACARS is an abbreviation of “Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System”. Developed in 1978, it was originally an avionics standard called ARINC 597. It used input from aircraft doors, parking brake and strut sensors to automatically detect and track flight phases, then transmit the results as telex messages over existing VHF voice radios. The system was designed to reduce crew workload, improve data integrity and enhance passenger safety.

AACARS is made up of equipment on board an aircraft, equipment on the ground and a service provider. The on-board aircraft ACARS equipment consists of end systems that use a router to route data over an air-ground subnetwork. Its interface with a flight management system (FMS) enables it to 电报群发找谁 pass flight plans and weather information from the ground to the aircraft, and to receive updates from the FMS while in flight.

Ground equipment consists of a network of radio transceivers managed by a central site computer known as AFEPS, or Arinc Front End Processing System. The AFEPS computers handle and process the ACARS messages received by the aircraft, as well as providing services such as clearances to airspace, gate assignments for each leg of a flight, maintenance requests, passenger needs and other operational status information. The airline can configure AFEPS to handle specific information and to meet the unique needs of each airport or region served.

On-board equipment includes an aircraft data bus that is connected to a flight recorder, and the onboard system uses a data terminal to display information and control data entry. The onboard system is configured to send the aircraft data to the AFEPS computers, and then to transmit the processed data to other flight-related applications. This system is also known as an airline aircraft telecommunications system, or ATC telecommunications. Depending on the aircraft, additional onboard equipment may include an inertial measurement unit and/or a navigational data system.
