Mitch Cronin Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Hi Don... I drove a 320 to the gate around 0400 this morning, and when I shut down, the little printer gizmo started belching out paper.... It had all sorts of things on it that led me to believe the bugger was sending notes, telling all about how I'd just handled her???? Listen here... if little baby BUS is gonna call home and tell Mommy every time I tickle her start switches, I'm gonna start getting nervous.... It was a new thing for me... Not just the usual PFR stuff.... Do you know anything about that? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conehead Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Mitch; just pull the ACARS c/b (or ATSU) before you start, then she won't squeal on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Cronin Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 Just reviewing my own rules of conduct here... It's been a little while since I've needed to know these: "1. - Never post while drunk 2. - When you ignore 1. above, never post your apology while still drunk. 3. - When you ignore 2. above, don't read any of it 'til the next time you're drunk... that way it might not look so bad. 4. - Dont worry, be happy. - Oops, sorry, that's a guideline for something else. 5. - When all else fails, if you always try to be honest, you won't hate yourself too badly while you're trying to crawl under the nearest rock. 6. - There'll be no maltreating the Abb... Oops, wrong rules again." Oh well... 5 out of 6 ain't too bad. Don, you'll let me know if I need to review rule 2 again won't you?... not sure if any of that comes across as being offensive? .... I hope not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCDU Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Mitch, I forget exactly where it is (would need to have the ACARs in front of me) but there is a prompt you can select to disable (most) post-flight reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conehead Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 It's on page 2, PFR Filtering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Hudson Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Know anything about that? But of course.. .... Mitch....FDA monitors all maintenance taxiing, every switch position, weight in the left seat, speed, turning rates, whether you had sufficient rest, credits yer log book with taxi time and records what yer plans were for the rest of the day and sends out for pizza!!! ........... PFR can be turned off using the ACARS FUNCTION > PRINT FUNCTION > [next page] LSK (line select key) #3 to turn "YES" to "NO" for the PFR. It works slightly differently on the 340/330. I've broken rules 1 through 4 including the one about posting after midnight. Since I grew up I don't break the rules so often. However, its much like the Peanuts cartoon where Lucy is staying after school to write on the board, "I will not talk out in class." "I will not talk out in class." "I will not talk out in class." "I will not talk out in class." "I will not talk out in class.", and she pauses and then writes, "On the other hand, who knows what I'll do" Happy Canada Day and Happy NASCAR day, Mitch Cheers, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Cronin Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Thanks Don.... right from weight in the seat, eh? ...very good. I'll have to admit, I'm with Lucy on that last line. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
