[Grahame Hutchison]

From PPRuNe's Ken Borough

A lot of people are able to capture ACARS messsages from published VHF frequencies, download and decipher them. One loon or nutter - take your pick - in Sydney goes so far as to regularly post what he considers 'unusual' ACARS messages on a web-site relating to aviation based on Sydney Airport. The plain language remarks are highlighted, and have even included private e-mails sent by Air New Zealand crews. Talk about an invasion of privacy!

So, be warned and think twice about any flippant comments or anything that may be sensitive on ACARS as you will never know where the messages end up.

And this from a forum whose name includes "Rumour Network".


The PPRuNe thread has had 739 views, my ACARS Verbals 2009 thread had 15,879 views, so who is the nutter ?

Hey thanks for the "warning", I found the website you refer to - saves me trawling through my own ACARS logs!

that Grahame Hutchison is a legend !

Loon, nutter or now legend, I will go for legend.

What a classic, I am rolling on the floor laughing.
