Notes
- The message at 1607:06 UTC is an automated response by ACARS on the aircraft to indicate that transmission (to the aircraft) of the Final Load Sheet was successful.
- This sequence of messages begins with the Loadsheet FINAL with the identifier 990I; followed by the technical acknowledgement MAS-S (link ack) 990L; then at 1607:06 UTC the message MAS-S (successful) with the identifier 990S.
- An elapsed time of 34 seconds between the first message and the confirmation is not unreasonable considering that the satellite channel is time-shared with other users and messages are prioritized.
- Note that the automated response at 1607:06 UTC is not the requested acknowledgement from the pilot. That was sent from the aircraft at 1609:28 UTC.
