Hi, all,
i am lurking since a while here - interesting stuff from all of You.
i would like to ask a non-expert question - re the BTO data log and the only two calls from MAS and the GES-timer resetting for handshake interrogation.
From what i have read about it i do understand, that the GES is routinely interrogating the AES for the so called handshakes, IF there were no other activities like ACARS or Satcom-calls, in an interval of 1 hour +/- 4 minutes - means if GES has not heard anything from the plane, it will ask "are You there" and an answer "yes".
The two calls from ground (MAS ops) at 1839 and 2313 utc have each reset the timer for this interrogation, resulting in interrogations at 1941 and 0011 respectively.
Am i right, that IF MAS would have called more or less non stop - what common sense would usually dictate IMO - that there would have been no BTO´s at all? Only for the re-logon´s at around 1825 and 0019 ? (And a whole lot of BFO logs from the calls).
Best regards
Curtis
