Set Frequency
If the flight is not getting the position update within the set time, Flight Explorer sends the position request to ACARS automatically. From there ACARS sends a request to the flight for the position. This setting is just for the flight and will end at the end of the flight. To set up a position report for the entire airline, use the ACARS settings tab in Customer admin.
To change the frequency for a particular flight
- In the Update Period field, enter the number of minutes that you would like to receive the updates.
- Click Submit.
The updates will now appear in the Event List.
