message: It would be interesting and I think highly appropriate for a Wikipedia article, to have some technical details regarding the physical layer of the data links - data modes, frequencies, how links are negotiated (especially on HF), network of ground stations, etc. Right now I think the article sounds a bit like a sales brochure, rather than a reference. Comments? --Dsandlund (talk) 09:20, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree, I came to this page expecting to find frequencies used, but there is not a single word mentioned about it. Jahibadkaret (talk) 20:19, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Example messages etc 

message: I disagree that the article should be labeled "too technical" under improvements needed.  ACARS is a highly specialized aviation system and requires a technical writeup of at least this amount of detail.  The first sentence summarizes the article nicely enough for the non-technical reader.
If anything, I would like to see it more clearly stated what frequency the ACARS system is using, and its relationship to ADS/B.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.244.11.5 (talk) 12:27, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too Technical? 

message: This statement is not true: "Prior to the introduction of datalink in aviation, all communication between the aircraft and ground personnel was performed by the flight crew using voice communication, using either VHF or HF voice radios".
Morse code was used for communication between aircraft and ground personnel in the early years of aviation; e.g., "In aviation, Morse code in radio systems started to be used on a regular basis in the 1920s" (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code#Development_and_history). 173.10.74.81 (talk) 08:54, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

In 3 separate instances in the 24 hours before the crash, the plane had to make an emergency landing. Each time the plane was given the go ahead to proceed to the next destination. You will need to given some evidence of your view if you want us to take you seriously.  Stepho  talk  23:52, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
