10.9 Orbcomm Text Messaging (Release 4.0
and earlier)
The MultiLink system provides the ability to send and receive simple
text messages between the aircraft and the ground. Messages sent
from the cockpit can be up to 30 characters in length, while messages
sent from the ground can be approximately 200 characters in length.
Transmission times will vary and might be as short as a minute or
two, but in general, messages will be delivered within 20 minutes,
approximately, if there is a satellite in view and message quality and
strength are good.
On the ground side, messages are sent and viewed via a password-
protected web page. By logging in to
a Flight Center account on
www.MyAvidyne.com
, a user on the ground can exchange messages
with your aircraft and track your flight progress. Any number of people
may log on simultaneously. See
www.MyAvidyne.com
for complete
details.
To access the Datalink Messaging page, press the
Datalink Setup
key on the Aux page.

Avidyne cannot guarantee the privacy of your Datalink

text entry box and several keys. For information about composing a
message, see
Composing and Sending a Message
on page 121.

not rely on Datalink Messaging for delivering critical
messages.

Do not use Datalink Messaging in terminal or high traffic
areas.
