c) onward transmission or local delivery by the aggregate of stations on a multi-point circuit. 4.4.9 Teletypewriter operating procedure — general 4.4.9.1 End-of-line functions 4.4.9.1.1 A single line of page-copy shall not contain more than a total of 69 characters and/or spaces. 4.4.9.1.2 One CARRIAGE RETURN [<] and one LINE FEED IMPULSES [≡] shall be transmitted between each printed page-line of the text of a message. 4.4.9.2 Duration of transmissions. For simplex circuits, the transmission of a series of messages in a single transmission shall not continue for longer than approximately five minutes. Action shall be taken to deliver or relay each message correctly received without waiting for the end of the series. 4.4.9.3 Channel-check transmissions. Except as provided in 4.4.9.3.3 and 4.4.9.3.5 the following periodic transmissions shall be sent on teletypewriter circuits: 1) heading (see 4.4.2.1.1); 2) alignment function [<≡]; 3) the procedure signal CH; 4) alignment function [<≡]; 5) end-of-message signal [NNNN]; 6) message-separation signal [↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓] (if required). The receiving station shall then check the transmission identification of this incoming transmission to ensure its correct sequence in respect of all messages received over that incoming channel. Note.— Application of this procedure provides some measure of assurance that channel continuity is maintained. 4.4.9.3.1 Recommendation.— Where a circuit is unoccupied, the transmission specified in 4.4.9.3 should be sent at H + 00, H + 20, H + 40. 4.4.9.3.2 If a periodic channel check transmission is not received within a tolerance agreed for that channel, a station shall send a service message to the station from which the transmission was expected. The text of this service message shall comprise: 1) the abbreviation SVC; 2) the procedure signal MIS; 3) the procedure signal CH; 4) (optionally) the time at which the transmission was expected; 5) the procedure signal LR; 6) the transmission identification of the last message received; 7) the end-of-text signal. Note.— The following example illustrates application of the above-mentioned procedure: SVC→MIS→CH→[↑1220↓→]LR→ABC↑123↓<≡ 2007/70/II. szám Annex 10 — Aeronautical Telecommunications Volume II 1/11/01 4-14 4.4.9.3.3 When a teletypewriter channel is equipped with a system of controlled circuit protocol, and following agreement between the Administrations responsible, the transmission specified in 4.4.9.3 shall not be made. 4.4.9.3.4 Channel-check transmissions and station radio identifications. In order to satisfy the requirements of ITU regarding periodic transmission of the station radio identification, those AFTN stations using radioteletypewriter channels may combine the station radio identification transmission with the channel-check transmission specified in 4.4.9.3. In this case the combined transmission shall be sent as follows: 1) heading (see 4.4.2.1.1); 2) alignment function [<≡]; 3) the procedure signal CH; 4) alignment function [<≡]; 5) the procedure signal DE followed by one SPACE [→] and the assigned ITU radio call sign; 6) alignment function [<≡]; 7) end-of-message signal [NNNN]; 8) message-separation signal [↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓] (if required). Note.— Application of this format will permit this special transmission to be handled by fully automatic switching centres without the intervention of supervisory personnel. 4.4.9.3.4.1 Recommendation.— When multichannel radioteletypewriter circuits are used (e.g. MET and AFTN) the station radio call sign transmission should be sent on only one channel of the circuit. The channel chosen should be the one which is the most convenient for this purpose with the identification transmission being sent in conformance with the format used on that channel. When an AFTN channel is chosen the identification transmission should be combined with the channel-check transmission. 4.4.9.3.5 When a teletypewriter circuit is associated with Automatic Error Correction (ARQ) equipment, and following agreement between the Administrations responsible, the transmissions specified in 4.4.9.3 need not be made: however stations employing radioteletypewriter channels on the AFTN for which the station radio identification is required, shall comply with the provisions of 4.4.9.3.4. Note.— The foregoing is not to be interpreted as implying any ICAO requirement necessitating the installation of Automatic Error Correction (ARQ) equipment on international aeronautical fixed circuits. 4.4.10 Normal teletypewriter transmission procedures 4.4.10.1 Messages shall be transmitted in accordance with predetermined responsibility for onward relay as agreed between the Administrations responsible for the operation of directly connected stations (see also 4.4.1.3 and 4.4.1.5.2.3). 4.4.10.1.1 Arising from the responsibility agreements established under the provisions of 4.4.10.1, each station of the AFTN shall employ and, subject to the provisions of 4.4.10.1.1.1, adhere to a Routing Directory which consists of the Routing List. 4.4.10.1.1.1 When an incoming message contains only identical location indicators in the lines-following-the-heading the receiving station shall accept responsibility for further relay. If possible such relay shall be effected on the normal outgoing circuit to the place of destination of the message; if it is not possible to use the normal circuit, an appropriate alternative outgoing circuit shall be used. When neither of these facilities is in operation, the message shall not be retransmitted over the circuit from which it was received, without prior service message (see 4.4.1.1.9) notification of this action being given to the station that had made the previous transmission. 4.4.10.1.1.2 Recommendation.— An AFTN message originator not capable of handling service messages should agree with the AFTN centre it is connected to on a method of exchanging service messages. Note.— A method of specifying service address in the optional data field is shown in 4.4.4.4.2 and 4.4.4.4.2.1. 4.4.10.1.2 Form of transmission — teletypewriter operation. All transmissions shall comprise in the following order (see Figure 4-2). 4.4.10.1.2.1 Starting pulse. When the receiving station uses equipment fitted with a time-switch to stop the teletypewriter machine motor when the channel is idle, a 20-30 millisecond SPACING IMPULSE shall be transmitted when the channel has been at rest for 30 seconds or more and at least 1.5 seconds shall be permitted to elapse before the transmission of the heading. Note 1.— This is equivalent to the transmission of a LETTER SHIFT [↓], followed by a pause (i.e. a continuous MARKING IMPULSE) of at least 1.37 seconds. Note 2.— Application of this procedure will allow the receiving equipment to reach synchronization before transmission of the heading is commenced. 4.4.10.1.3 Message format. All messages shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions of 4.4.2 (ITA-2 format) or 4.4.15 (IA-5 format). 2007/70/II. szám Chapter 4 Annex 10 — Aeronautical Telecommunications 4-15 1/11/01 4.4.10.1.3.1 Recommendation.— The Heading Line, with the exception of the SOH character, should be omitted on circuits employing one of the data link control procedures contained in 8.6.3 and 8.6.4 of Annex 10, Volume III. 4.4.10.1.4 Reprocessing procedures 4.4.10.1.4.1 A message requiring retransmission shall have its previous heading deleted by the station which received such message for relay. The retransmission shall commence with the new heading using the transmission identification for the outgoing channel. 4.4.10.1.4.1.1 When applying the provisions of 4.4.10.1.4.1, transmission of the address part of the message shall commence at some point during the 5 SPACES, 1 LETTER SHIFT [→→→→→↓] immediately preceding the first alignment function [<≡]. 4.4.10.1.4.1.2 At tributary and “torn-tape” relay stations not equipped with automatic numbering machine devices and hence where it is necessary for a small number of additional teletypewriter characters to be perforated on a tape before the start-of-message signal to preclude risk of mutilation of the latter signal during retransmission, such additional characters, as required, shall consist of LETTER SHIFTS [↓]. Subsequent transmission on the outgoing channel shall then commence at a point as close as practicable to the start-of-message signal. 4.4.10.1.4.1.3 At stations where the heading of a message is originated by automatic equipment at the point of and time of transmission on the outgoing channel, but where preparation of the other parts of a message is by the perforation of a tape and where, therefore, it is necessary for a small number of additional teletypewriter characters to be perforated before the alignment function [<≡] at the commencement of the address so as to preclude risk of mutilation of this alignment function, such additional characters, as required, shall consist of LETTER SHIFTS [↓] or SPACES [→]. Subsequent transmission on the outgoing channel shall then commence at a point as close as practicable to the first alignment function [<≡] of the message. 4.4.10.1.4.2 At a “torn-tape” station the incoming tapes shall be torn at a position in the message-separation signal component (see 4.4.6.1 and 4.4.7.1) so that the preceding endof-message signal remains intact. 4.4.10.1.4.2.1 Following application of the provisions of 4.4.10.1.4.2 the shortened (i.e. less than 12 LETTER SHIFTS [↓]) message-separation signal remaining on the message tape shall be deleted, if necessary by electronic methods, before retransmission to an automatic relay installation. If the retransmission is to another “torn-tape” station then: 1) the shortened message-separation signal shall be reformed to a complete [↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓] signal by transmission of the necessary number of additional LETTER SHIFTS [↓]; or 2) the shortened message-separation signal remaining on the tape shall be removed and a new and complete message-separation signal shall be added to the message in the process of retransmission in accordance with the provisions of 4.4.6.1 c). 4.4.10.1.5 When possible in “torn-tape” or semiautomatic installations, a correct tape shall be obtained prior to onward relay; when tape is illegible or mutilated the station shall not relay the message unless good judgement indicates that this is not likely to result in malfunctioning of equipment at subsequent relay stations. 4.4.10.1.6 Acknowledgement of receipt of messages. In teletypewriter operation and except as provided in 4.4.10.1.6.1, a receiving station shall not transmit acknowledgement of receipt of incoming messages. In lieu thereof the provisions of 4.4.1.4.1 shall be applied. 4.4.10.1.6.1 The receipt of distress messages (priority SS — see 4.4.1.1.1) shall be individually acknowledged by the AFTN destination station sending a service message (see 4.4.1.1.9) to the AFTN origin station. Such acknowledgement of receipt shall take the format of a complete message addressed to the AFTN origin station, shall be assigned priority indicator SS and the associated priority alarm (see 4.4.4.3) and shall have a text comprising: 1) the procedure signal R; 2) the origin (see 4.4.4), without priority alarm, or optional heading information of the message being acknowledged; 3) the end-of-text signal [↓<≡].

Under these conditions the procedure signal DUPE shall not be included. 4.4.11 Action on mutilated or improperly formatted messages detected in teletypewriter relay stations 4.4.11.1 If, before retransmission is commenced, a relay station detects that a message has been mutilated or improperly formatted at some point ahead of the end-of-message signal, and it has reason to believe that this mutilation had occurred before the message had been received by the previous station, it shall send a service message (see 4.4.1.1.9) to the originator as identified by the originator indicator in the origin of the mutilated or improperly formatted message, requesting repetition of the incorrectly received message. Note 1.— The following example illustrates a typical text of a service message in which the foregoing procedure has been applied in respect of a mutilated message having as its origin “141335 CYULACAX”: SVC→QTA→RPT→↑141335↓→CYULACAX↓<≡ Note 2.— This circumstance of detection of a mutilation may only be possible at “torn-tape” relay stations. 4.4.11.2 When the provisions of 4.4.11.1 are applied, the originator as identified by the originator indicator in the origin of the mutilated message shall reassume responsibility for the mutilated message, and shall comply with the provisions of 4.4.11.3. 4.4.11.3 Following application of the provisions of 4.4.11.2, the following reprocessing shall be accomplished before the unmutilated version of the message is transmitted for the second time towards the same addressee or addressees: 1) insert a new heading; 2) remove the ending of the message (see 4.4.6.1); 3) insert in lieu thereof the procedure signal DUPE, preceded by at least 1 LETTER SHIFT [↓] and followed by 1 CARRIAGE RETURN, 8 LINE FEEDS, end-of-message signal and, if necessary (see 4.4.6 and 4.4.7), the LETTER SHIFTS [↓] of the message-separation signal and tape feed. Note.— The example appearing in Figure 4-3 illustrates the application of this procedure. 4.4.11.4 If, before retransmission is commenced, a relay station detects that one or more messages have been mutilated at some point ahead of the end-of-message signal, and it has reason to believe that this mutilation had occurred during or subsequent to its transmission from the previous station, it shall send a service message (see 4.4.1.1.9) to the previous station rejecting the mutilated transmission and requesting a repetition of the incorrectly received message (or messages). Note 1.— The following examples illustrate application of the above-mentioned procedure. In example 2) the hyphen (-) separator is understood to mean “through” in plain language. 1) in respect of a single mutilated message: SVC→QTA→RPT→ABC↑123↓<≡ 2) in respect of several mutilated messages: SVC→QTA→RPT→ABC↑123-126↓<≡ Figure 4-3.

It shall then retransmit the unmutilated copy of the referenced message with a new (i.e. correct in sequence) transmission identification (see 4.4.2.1.1 b)). If that station is not in possession of an unmutilated copy of the original message, it shall take the action prescribed in 4.4.11.1. 4.4.11.6 If, before retransmission is commenced, a relay station detects that a received message has a recognizable but mutilated end-of-message signal, it shall, where necessary, repair this mutilation before retransmission. Note.— This circumstance of detection of a mutilation may only be possible at “torn-tape” relay stations and the action prescribed will be essential where messages are being transmitted to a semi-automatic or fully automatic station. 4.4.11.7 If, during retransmission of a message, a relay station detects that the message has been mutilated at some point ahead of the end-of-message signal and is able to take action before a correct end-of-message signal has been transmitted, it shall: 1) cancel the transmission by inserting into the channel the sequence ↓<≡QTA→QTA↓<≡ followed by a complete ending (see 4.4.6); 2) reassume responsibility for the message; 3) comply with the provisions of 4.4.11.1 or 4.4.11.4 as appropriate. Note.— This circumstance of detection of a mutilation may only be possible at “torn-tape” relay stations or at semiautomatic stations using continuous-tape. 4.4.11.8 If, after a message has been transmitted in toto, a station detects that the text or the origin of the message was mutilated or incomplete, it shall transmit to all addressees concerned a service message with the following text, if an unmutilated copy of the message is available in the station: SVC CORRECTION (the origin of the incorrect message) STOP (followed by the correct text). Note.— This circumstance of detection of a mutilation or incomplete message may only be possible at “torn-tape” relay stations or at semi-automatic stations using continuous-tape. 4.4.11.9 If, after transmission of the text of a message, a relay station detects that the message has an obviously mutilated end-of-message signal, it shall insert a proper endof-message signal into the channel. Note.— This circumstance of detection of a mutilation may only be possible at “torn-tape” relay stations or at semiautomatic stations using continuous-tape. 4.4.11.10 If, after transmission of the text material of a message, a relay station can detect that there is no complete end-of-message signal, but has no practicable means of discovering whether the irregularity has affected only the endof-message signal or whether it may have also caused part of the original text to have been lost, it shall insert into the channel the following: 1) ↓<≡CHECK≡TEXT≡ ΝΕW→ENDING→ADDED→ 2) its own station identification; 3) ↓<≡ 4) a proper ending as prescribed in 4.4.6.1. Note 1.— On tape copy, this insertion will appear as follows: ↓<≡CHECK≡TEXT≡ NEW→ENDING→ADDED→LOWWYFYX↓<≡ ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡NNNN↓↓↓ Note 2.— On page copy, this insertion will appear as follows: CHECK TEXT NEW ENDING ADDED LOWWYFYX NNNN Note 3.— The staggered presentation on copy is prescribed to ensure that the attention of the addressee is drawn immediately to the insertion. Note 4.— The FIGURE SHIFT [↑] is included to ensure proper functioning where First Line Monitoring Equipment is used, where the presence of the FIGURE SHIFT in the origin is used to cause disconnection of this equipment and where the missing part of the message includes this FIGURE SHIFT. Note 5.— This circumstance of detection of a mutilation may only be relevant to fully automatic stations or stations using semi-automatic methods without continuous-tape. 4.4.11.11 Recommendation.— Relay stations applying the procedural provisions of 4.4.11.9 or 4.4.11.10 should, if practicable, ensure that the appropriate material therein prescribed is inserted prior to the transmission of a complete start-of-message signal associated with any following message. 4.4.11.12 If a relay station detects that a message was received with a completely mutilated address line, it shall send 2007/70/II. szám Annex 10 — Aeronautical Telecommunications Volume II 1/11/01 4-18 a service message to the previous station rejecting the mutilated transmission. 4.4.11.12.1 The text of this service message shall comprise: 1) the abbreviation SVC; 2) the procedure signal QTA; 3) the procedure signal ADS; 4) the transmission identification of the message rejected; 5) the indication CORRUPT; 6) the end-of-text signal. Note.— The following example illustrates application of the above-mentioned procedure: SVC→QTA→ADS→ABC↑123↓→CORRUPT↓<≡ 4.4.11.12.2 The station receiving such a service message shall reassume responsibility for the referenced message, and shall retransmit the message with a corrected address line, and a new transmission identification. 4.4.11.13 If a relay station detects a received message with an invalid (i.e. length other than 8 letters) or unknown addressee indicator, it shall relay the message to those valid addresses for which it has relay responsibility using the stripped address procedure (see 4.4.8). 4.4.11.13.1 In addition, except as in 4.4.11.13.3, the station shall send a service message to the previous station requesting correction of the error. The text of this service message shall comprise: 1) the abbreviation SVC; 2) the procedure signal ADS; 3) the transmission identification of the message in error; 4) an alignment function; 5) the first address line of the message as received; 6) an alignment function; 7) either:
