Reception of the Singapore A380s is a little inconsistent on my ACARS system, they appear some days and not others. Today was fine.

Not sure if this is simply related to reception, which is a little odd, as I have a fairly good coverage out to 250-300km from Sydney, or just how Singapore use ACARS operationally on the A380.

Today they only transmitted one simple ACARS message that I received, on other aircraft there is usually quite a number of messages. Maybe they are using another system for reporting aircraft performance etc.
