Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Hahaha jargon is jargon. I apologise, am too comfortable in using jargon to be more concise. That's why I help moderate the tech forum. CPDLC - SMS-like communication between controllers and pilots. ADS-C - Automatic Dependance Surveillance Mode C - Satellite based controller tracking, with intermittent (every 15 mins) automatic position relay. ADS-B - As above, Mode B - continuous satellite-based position information for tracking airplanes. Flightradar24 uses such technology to track airplanes PBN - Performance Based navigation - using satellites and very precise positioning data to maximize use of airspace and to provide alternate non-ground based modes of navigation (e.g. VOR, NDB beacons, ILS systems) Hope this helps. Was actually thinking this convo is more suited to the technical forum. Edited October 19, 2013 by Sandeep G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeO 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2013 Does a B734 have ADS-B? Cause I cant seem to track MAS B734 in FlightRadar24. Where as other B734 like the one flying for Gading Sari Aviation can be track on fr24. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alif A. F. 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 Seems like ADS-B isn't installed on MH B734s. The other day I tracked my parents flight from KUL, but didn't even see the aircraft on FR24, so I thought probably they were on board B734 (I was right). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 No ADS-B and no GPS, single FMC for MH B734, which the current rumor says will be all retired by 2014. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted October 20, 2013 Apologies, noted an error with my earlier post. ADS-B is Broadcast and ADS-C is Contract.. Not modes - those are for transponders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted October 22, 2013 OT - I wonder what is the current ruling on the installation of ADS-B on aircraft? MH's B734s do not have ADS-B, but Gading Sari's B734 cargo have. Both 9M-GSA and 9M-GSB can be tracked on FR24. Some Royal Brunei A320 (V8-RBS and RBT I think) not traceable on FR24, but RBV can. The new Awan Inspirasi helicopter (9M-AIR, I think it's a AW139) can be tracked. Both ATR72-500 & 600 carry the same number of passenger, but only -600 is traceable on FR24.

Ahah, maybe that is why I was not able to track my son's flight from BWN few months back - nett resulted in me having 5 minutes to make it to the airport to pick him up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted November 5, 2013 9M-MRQ heading to scrap yard? Plus MRQ is one of the only 2 B772 frames that MH owned (the other being MRP). The rest of the B772 fleet are all leased from PMB. Logically, these frames would be the last two that will be retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
