ACARS CONFIRMED - 9/11 AIRCRAFT AIRBORNE LONG AFTER CRASH
UNITED 175 IN THE VICINITY OF HARRISBURG AND PITTSBURGH, PA





(PilotsFor911Truth.org) - Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) is a device used to send messages to and from an aircraft. Very similar to text messages and email we use today, Air Traffic Control, the airline itself, and other airplanes can communicate with each other via this "texting" system. ACARS was developed in 1978 and is still used today. Similar to cell phone networks, the ACARS network has remote ground stations installed around the world to route messages from ATC, the airline, etc, to the aircraft depending on it's location and vice versa. ACARS Messages have been provided through the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) which demonstrate that the aircraft received messages through ground stations located in Harrisburg, PA, and then later routed through a ground station in Pittsburgh, 20 minutes after the aircraft allegedly impacted the South Tower in New York. How can messages be routed through such remote locations if the aircraft was in NY, not to mention how can messages be routed to an aircraft which allegedly crashed 20 minutes earlier? Pilots For 9/11 Truth have briefly touched on this subject in 9/11: Intercepted through the excellent research of "Woody Box", who initially discovered such alarming information in the released FOIA documents(1). We now have further information which confirms the aircraft was not in the vicinity of New York City when the attacks occurred. read more...

I am currently reading that thread, have progressed to post 52 (checking links is time consuming). Pay attention to Femr2, apathoid and CtColumbo and ztry to ignore the bickering by beachnut and others.


ETA: That thread never came to a definite conclusion, but this seems to be the gist:

• The ACARS messages involving UA175 were messages to the plane, not from the plane. Obviously, it is possible to send a message to a receiver that is already destroyed.
• ACARS messages get transmitted via VHF radio antennae on the ground near the plane - for planes at cruising altitude, "near" can be up to 200 miles away. Sender must include the ground station in the message. It seems that the ground station is usually determined from flight plans, not from live information about the plane's actual location. It seems Harrisburg (and 20 minutes later: Pittsburgh) was near the expected location of UA175 according to flight plan, had it not been hijacked, re-routed, and later crashed. If senders were not informed, or not sure, about the hijack, then sending via flight plan location was a reasonable thing to do. Message content assumed (or hoped) pilots were still in control.
• An open issue is whether or not the message would have been recorded (printed out) without some technical acknowledgment from the plane's ACARS system that it has been received. Femr2 thinks that ACARS protocols (always?) include such automatic acknowledgements, apathoid and CptColumbo doubt it. Even if an ACK would have been the rule, it is not clear if an ACK was received or not. Furthermore, it is nor clear if the sent message would not have been recorded if an ACK was exected but not received

In short, having records of messages being send to (or via) Ground Radio in Pennsylvania is no proof of the plane actually being in Pennsylvania at that time, unless it can be proven that the ACARS ground system received an acknowledgment from the plane that it had received the message.

What an idiotic claim. Is equal to calling out your mom's name, yell "mom" in your backyard in California, when she is really in Georgia, then claim she is in California. It is that simple. If someone argues/supports the ACARS point, they are nuts, or a liar. RADAR alone proves where all the planes on 911 were, ACARS proves there are nuts who prefer to celebrate ignorance over the truth.

My analogy was good too, I know ACARS. But all we need is RADAR to shoot down the many lies in the statement by p4t.

Is the information, RADAR proves the statement is false, wrong? No. It is a fact, it is the real evidence of where the planes were.

There is nothing wrong with learning about ACARS, but it is not needed to debunk the lie in question.

Relax beachnut, no one is making any claims to the contrary. In this thread. At least yet. Give it time, I'm sure one of the resident truthers will come along and try to wow us with long debunked crap.

ACARS goes over the same range of frequencies that all commercial aircraft use. They aren't encrypted and can be decoded by software in home computers. It sounds like a quick data burst. I've actually decoded a few via radios in the web. Dunno about the ACK thing, but anyone with a scanner and a soundcard can read ACARS.

You know ACARS. That doesn't help RossFW to argue against anybody.

No, the information is not wrong, but RossFW has to take it by faith alone. You're not helping him very much. Would be better to reference a source of information - an old thread here, or whatever has radar tracks etc.
See, Woody Box does not deny that a plane crashed into the south tower - the one seen on radar that you are talking about. Woody Box speculates that there is a second plane that UA tried to talk to. Do we have all radar tracks of all planes that flew over PA in that time frame to rule out a "second" UA175? Or would it not be easier to explain what ACARS does, and what it doesn't, to show that ACARS message to plane is no proof that plane was there?

Yes I know, and any message back that acknowledged receipt would be in the same format, wouldn't it? I read about software that decodes ACARS messages, but it seemed it is most conveniently fed by internet sources - which give you what message servers transmit. With a radio scanner, do you pick up directly what planes broadcast? If so, then ten minutes worth of scanning ACARS traffic between a ground station an planes would reveal if planes send back acknowledgement messages.

The stuff I've done was radio over the internet based. Someone fed their scanner on the web and another program decipherd the data bursts. You would hear what the planes send back as it's the same channel used.

...?

RADAR is not faith, and for 911 issues the RADAR data is common knowledge for anyone who can google , radar ntsb flight 175. Saying RADAR proves the claim wrong is not faith, it is repeating a known fact from a rational 911 investigation. If you want to check the work done by the NTSB, you can get the raw RADAR data, unlike the silly evidence free claims made by morons selling DVDs to the gullible.


The claim boils down to, because they have a ACARS to flight 175, flight 175 can't be in NYC. And it is worse, because they have one 20 minutes after 175 impacted the WTC. An idiotic claim of face value.

Clearly they claim 175 was not in NYC. An idiotic lie used by Balsamo to sell DVDs to gullible people.

The claim is 175 was not in NYC. RADAR debunks the claim. No need to go learn ACARS which is geeky as I, as I watch TV recorded and edit video on my quad tuner VTR new quiet cool, fast, hand built computer.

The RADAR data proves 175 took-off and crashed into the WTC.

The ACARS delusional claim is that 175 was over Pittsburgh, not in NYC. RADAR data shows that is false. This is not faith, it is fact. One of the first things we get when we investigate aircraft mishaps, RADAR data.

How many lies do we have?
Aircraft airborne long after crash.
Further information which confirms the aircraft was not in ... NYC.
Further information implies many more lies they can't define... or what?

As a trained, experienced aircraft accident investigator, I claim RADAR debunks this idiotic lie. Will RADAR debunk the lie for the person who plagiarized the lie, who defends the lie out of ignorance, who is too gullible to google radar NTSB flight 175? ???
The best part, it does not take a pilot or an engineers to figure out Balsamo is spreading lies. Learning about ACARS is not needed, but JREF is about education, knowing more is good, learning about ACARS is good. Knowing you don't need to know anything about ACARS to debunk the crazy claim, is cool.

When you look at the messages, they are routed to where 175 should be if it was not taken. In addition, for over 20 minutes 175 possible line of sight distance was 200 to 250 nm. The sad part is Balsamo is still selling lies and spitting on the dead.

The reason this is "new", Balsamo needs money for crowns, and Christmas. It is funny he is SPAMMING old lies as being new.

http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=21754
What a pathetic liar.
http://pilotsfor911truth.org/
http://pilotsfor911truth.org/ACARS-CONFIRMED-911-AIRCRAFT-AIRBORNE-LONG-AFTER-CRASH.html

MDT is only 129.44 nm from WTC. No wonder the plane could automatically receive the message, the crew was dead, not to be confused with brain-dead but breathing like Balsamo. At 8:59, Flt 175 was high enough to receive transmissions from MDT. Balsamo never flew heavy jets left seat, he sells idiotic lies on DVD. Balsamo does not do RADAR. RADAR debunks Balsamo. Nothing in the Balsamo delusion proves the messages were received by Flt 175. Balsamo made it up, and will use hearsay and lies to support his delusion.

This is a "new" attempt to support the old claim. Balsamo needs money.

SPAMMING the internet... http://www.pprune.org/jet-blast/470537-acars-confirmed-9-11-aircraft-airborne-long-after-crash.html

He is pushing it all over, watch out for flying lies, all that Balsamo can pilot now.

[sheeplesnshills]

Knowing you don't need to know anything about ACARS to debunk the crazy claim, is cool.

I would like to know if and how ACARS transmissions are acknowledged by the aircraft supposted to receive them......Balsammos claim of 200 mile range seems dubious, as googling ACARS range shows that amateurs can easily track at least 200 mile with cheap ground station setup which is unlikely to be as good as the equipment on the aircraft or the official ground stations

The fact that the message was repeated seems to indicate that there is no automatic acknowledgement or otherwise why bother repeating what is already acknowledged?

While I do not know the specific answer to your question there has been a lengthy discussion at ATS regarding the issue with both Ranke and Ballsucker attempting to muddy the waters with their typical innuendo and false bravado along with a mixture of techno babble thrown in.

http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread781617/pg1

The crew may manually specifically confirm receipt if requested to do so. It does appear that the time stamp at the end of the msg upon which Ballsucker is basing part of his fraud is simply a time stamp of when the msg finished printing AT THE DISPATCH OFFICE which sent it, not an acknowledgement from the aircraft. Ballsucker is now attempting to use the distance issue with speculation and incredulity along with the opinion and pfffft conclusions based on testimony from a Dispatcher from United Airlines to the 911 Commission.

The definitive answer is not likely to be revealed except with proprietary information from AIRINC, which is not available online.

In the meantime, the various radars which tracked both UA 175 and UA 93 and the physical evidence at both crash sites are the best refutation at this point....

 

[beachnut]

Balsamo is spreading insane delusions based on his standard 11.2g failed moron logic. One of the only pilots in the world who claims he can't fly as well as terrorist pilots, he can't hit the WTC or the giant Pentagon in a modern jet. What a tool, a bone head who can't earn a Pulitzer with claims, if true, would be the biggest story in history. But, Balsamo is making up delusions using hearsay, and moronic logic to fool idiots who can't figure out 911. Indicative of Balsamo's moron math which gave us 11.2g of ignorance, his ACARS delusion is dumber.


RADAR is the fact, not some message system which did not confirm receipt except in Balsamo's empty head. Balsamo must be all the posters at p4t, you can't find that many idiots, that many yes men who are morons.

RADAR data is available, multiple RADAR sites tracking each aircraft. Beats ACARS.

The message system will work line of sight and further, these messages are very short in time. Nothing would stop messages being received while airborne, even 100 to over 200 miles away, depending on altitude and signal strength.

After each plane crashed, Balsamo's claim the planes were still airborne becomes insanity. Only morons would ignore RADAR and believe Balsamo. Bet the morons posting at p4t are socks of Balsamo, there can't be that many idiots.

Saying Flight 93 was still airborne after everyone was buried in the ground in PA, is insanity. The claim is expected Balsamo behavior for a failed pilot who can't do math and physics, a pilot who never flew heavy jets left seat, and never will. Most the posters on the internet must be socks of Balsamo, no one can be that stupid, unable to think for themselves. RADAR is the fact, DNA is proof. Once again we have lies from Balsamo, a failed pilot, who fails to be more than a fraud spreading insane claims based on ignorance.

http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB196/doc03.pdf
After you have RADAR data, you can see Balsamo is a moron, an insane failed pilot who can't do math. If you can't see that, you are a bigger moron than Balsamo, it is amazing you can read and type.

(if the amateurs use HF (2-30MHz), the range can be worldwide, okay, 2,000 to 6,000 miles, most likely VHF ACARS on 911, line of sight plus a little)

The VHF radio easily goes to the horizon, line of sight. In the military we used UHF and later we also used VHF. The UHF was was line of sight, and the VHF did better than line of sight. If you can see the station, you can transmit to it plus a little for VHF. 200 miles is easy, and for some of the flights they could receive from over 220 miles or further while at altitude. This is math, Balsamo will not be able to handle the math parts.

The dispatcher has no idea if the crew receives messages unless the crew confirms the message. Balsamo is in standard insane ignorance mode, stringing hearsay and lies together to form his new/old/insane/moronic smoking gun. His dumb as dirt p4t cult members are going nuts about this insane claim.

Balsamo posts an insane claim, and his Followers (big F for failure), respond mindlessly to fraud and insanity.
"Great work Rob. Let me be the first to congratulate you on it."
"Watch the GLs scrambling with this one!"
"TRUTH can never be curbed nor eradicated."
"Excellent work Rob, and many thanks for your perseverance and determination"
"Now thats some dark clouds coming up on the horizon!! "
"I wonder how the duh bunkers are going to spin this one?"

"To me it is still not clear how you can know that skyjackers were on board."
"If UA 93 was actually airborne, where did it land and what happened to the passengers?"
"Bottom line I think people are starting to pay attention."
"I stand in awe of all of the real patriots at P4T and CIT."
"Please, never give up this vital work. Our way of life is at stake."
"There is no speculation in the article. Every assertion is backed by official documents." (poor dolt, he falls for Balsamo's lies and repeats them with more lies)
" that old goofhead beachnut is claiming that RADAR debunks the ACARS messages" (RADAR does debunk Balsamo's claim, I am a goofhead, but I am right and this poor cult member is dumber than dirt, a perfect member for p4t lies and insanity. Proud to be in ignorance, and he has no clue his superior intelligence is a fantasy)
How many of these are Balsamo Socks? How many are GL socks? lol

It is funny, a couple of these posters are playing with Balsamo. No one can be that stupid to fall for Balsamo's insane claim.



Balsamo's formula for keeping his cult members in the dark; Pick something technical, proprietary, hard to find information on, generate lies about the subject, have real evidence to support the fraud from government sources, create the false theory (which p4t does not have a theory as Balsamo breaks his own rule) and let the gullible, ignorant, morons who refuse to think for themselves spread the lie on the Internet, brainless drones programed to be simpletons, lapping up the lies and regurgitating them mindlessly, because Balsamo said so.

Pathetic Web sites posts this nonsense as news. The web site administrators are too stupid, too lazy, to select real news, and post lies based on ignorance. People too lazy to check the facts, letting morons post junk on the Internet. If you are bored while on the thrown, take the laptop and google, "ACARS CONFIRMED – 9/11 AIRCRAFT", could be 50 web sites blinding letting Balsamo spread lies.

Comments please beach nut, re a twoofers remarks here re RADAR track,

Radar tracks aircraft and only identifies them from the transponder signal.

ie Radar cannot positively identify an aircraft. Just a green blip and some numbers.

ACARS can positively identify aircraft.

Balsamo extends his insanity to Flight 93...

Balsamo, using 11.2g failed physics logic, where you just make up incredibly stupid statements by waving hands, like 11.2gs, Balsamo says,

It is conclusive, the 9/11 Aircraft were airborne long after their alleged crashes.​

RADAR data makes this statement insanity. One would have to be brain-dead to agree with Balsamo. DNA for Flight 93 Passengers, and terrorists, prove Balsamo is a liar, making an insane claim, one only morons, a few failures at p4t forum believe.

DNA, and RADAR prove Balsamo lies. Not a surprise, he sells lies on DVD, filled with nonsense morons believe.

quoting United Dispatcher Ed Ballinger, the second time stamp on the bottom of the message, at United Airlines, is the "Technical Acknowledgement" from the airplane that the message has been received -

Mr. Ballinger stated that the ACARS messages have two times listed: the time sent and the time received. He stated that once he sends the message it is delivered to the addressed aircraft through AIRINC immediately. He is not aware of any delay in the aircraft receiving the message after he sends it.
​

According to the above statement made by Mr. Ballinger, all of the above messages were received by the aircraft.

This is Balsamo's proof, made up nonsense about Ballinger. Now if you say Balsamo is a liar, he can shift it to Ballinger. DRG used the hearsay method of shifting the burden of proof to the hearsay source.

The truth is, a dispatcher can't tell if a plane gets a message, or not. Unless the service provider tells them, or the crew responds.

Who is Ed Ballinger? Ed Ballinger, is a former United Airlines flight dispatcher. Not an expert on ACARS, he is a user, uses ACARS to send messages, not an expert on ACRAS. Why can't Balsamo's cult members figure this out by thinking for themselves? After 11.2g physics from Balsamo I would expect the blind Followers of Balsamo to be more skeptical.

Ballinger has no clue if Flight 93 and Flight 175 received the messages. Balsamo is a liar, he sells lies on DVD.

Ironic, pilots for truth have no theory.

Balsamo says...

It is conclusive, the 9/11 Aircraft were airborne long after their alleged crashes.​

It is not a theory, it is an idiotic claim. How stupid do you have to be to believe Balsamo? Undefined, too stupid to define, too lazy to think for themselves.


The dispatcher has no clue if the message was received with the evidence on record. In reality, the dispatcher has no evidence the message was received unless the crew responds, or the carrier, the service provider (AIRINC) supplies the information the message was rejected. ... failure for Balsamo, using hearsay to form delusional claims only a few morons, Balsamo drones believe. Balsamo failed as a pilot, fails as a researcher.

It is ironic. Warren, I have programed from assembly to PASCAL, you are an expert on the FDR and decoding it. Not surprised you technically proved Balsamo failed again.

Balsamo fails to realize you are an expert on what you post. I doubt Balsamo understands the extent of your expertise. Your efforts are equal or better than an effort at the Masters level...

Good work

False, transponder is not needed to track an aircraft. You might hear flight 93 disappeared from ATC scopes. That can be true if the ATC sites did not have the ability to use raw data. However, the track of all aircraft are recorder, the raw RADAR data is on tape, and can be used to show exactly where each plane flew.

ACARS could show where a plane was, but it would be related to a message from the aircraft, not a function of ACARS, a function of what is in a message from the aircraft.

RADAR does identify an aircraft, because you track it from takeoff to landing or crash, or leaving RADAR contact. Because you follow it in space and time.

ACARS tracking? email tracking? What is this?

ACARS does not track an aircraft, but ACARS messages from an aircraft could be used to track an aircraft. Look up what ACARS is, what the different classes of messages are. People can figure this out with google if they dig deep enough.

RADAR does not need a transponder to track an aircraft. RADAR does positively identify an aircraft. RADAR is a like an eye, and electronic eye, a RADIO eye, an electromagnetic eye. RADAR also can be used to find altitude, the RAW data, not only the transponder information. ... it is easier if the transponder is used. The raw data from 911 proves each plane's path.

... on 911, if the terrorists turned off the transponder, the RADAR sites recorded the tracks of all aircraft. ... , all other aircraft were squawking, all other aircraft were using transponders. Bad news for Balsamo moronic claims about RADAR.

Duhbunkers try to explain ACARS and fail

And of course, we see the obsessoids over at the govt loyalist cesspool scurrying, looking for and expecting an immediate explanation from the nameless faceless "experts". This individual can't even think or research for themself, they have to seek comfort in answers from the groupthink tank.

Sorry beach nut, and finally these comments from our resdent twoofer down under,

"Not my theory - that's your first mistake. It is conclusive evidence that there was a plane swap.It was compiled from FAA data .Therre is no scope for any other interpretation, at least not any that you have come up with.

There is circumstantial evidence as well.

Radar data shows these planes 93 and 175) on converging tracks with others.

Why did the " hijackers " turn off the transponders only to turn them back on again.? Why not just leave them switched off? How did they know the correct code to re enter?

Why did UA93 choose to do their course reversing turn in a radar blind spot?

It doesn't matter , anyway. ACARS data is conclusive. There is no doubt where the planes were and when.

ATC radar can be easily fooled . ACARS can't.

There is no RADAR blind spot, the RADAR data is taped, stored, and can be used after the fact to track aircraft accurately. I have used it when I investigated accident in the USAF. The moron has no useful knowledge of RADAR. Yes, ATC lost 93, but the raw data was recorded. This means we know exactly where 93 was.

I have the raw data for 93 in google earth, it shows 93 from takeoff to crash.

http://www.ntsb.gov/doclib/foia/9_11/Rec_Radar_Data_Study_all_aircraft.pdf

DNA proves where 93 crashed. ACARS messages were not received by 93 and 175 after they crashed. To claim that is true is insanity. Is the person insane, or incredibly stupid?


RADAR proves where the plane ended up on 911. DNA for 93 proves RADAR and 93's fate. The poor moron down-under should be happy he/she is able to use the Internet, his/her only skill that is rational.

There is no RADAR blind spot. There is RADAR data for all flights.

ACARS is a message traffic, like email. ACARS messages were not received by 93 or 175 after they crashed due to murderers.

ACARS is message traffic, it has no value as to where the aircraft are, unless the message contains Nav information. The ACARS works 220 or more miles away, by VHF radio, it does not tell you where the plane is, unless the plane messages it position.

The raw RADAR data show altitude, thus the aircraft which get close to other, are not at the same altitude, thus tracking proves no swap. The so called swap aircraft were squawking, and thus could not be confused with the hijacked aircraft.

Have the moron explain how RADAR is fooled. BTW, multiple RADAR sites tracked the aircraft on 911. Multiple independent RADAR sites. oops

Balsamo lies. He said I had a stroke. ... no stroke yet. he thinks someone who had a stoke is able to expose his lies, and he is the one with the 11.2g claim made up out of thin air. He has to say I had a stroke so his failed Followers will not think for themselves.

[Oystein]

For those who don't want to sign up at P4T:
Warren uploaded this FOIA file with ACARS messages to and from flights 11, 77, and 93:
http://www.warrenstutt.com/General Files/5 AWA 898 Printout of ARINC Messages.pdf

Here is what I understand:

Messages with the code

• "ULMSG" are from airline to ARINC, to be routed via a target radio station (Target Stn)m which could be the wrong one; it's probably determined by airline from flight plan
• "ULBLK" are messages from ground station to plane - the actuak ground station sending is in the tag "Stn="
• "DLBLK" are messages from plane to ground station (downlink). The actual receiving station is in the tag "BepStnName="

Time stamps are in Universal Time, which was ET +4h., So a stamp of "20010911 13:47:31" translates to 9:47:31ET.

Some stations can be looked up here:
http://www.angelfire.com/sc/scannerpost/acars.html
Some more here:
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/decoders/acars.pdf
And a map here:
http://datalink.sas.se/ground/images/north_america_052010.pdf

Some stations that I saw in the ACARS log:
BWI=Baltimore
CAK=Akron (Ohio)
CLE=Cleveland
CRW= Charleston (West Virginia)
CVG=Cincinnati
DTW=Detroit
EWR=Newark, NJ
FWA=Fort Wayne (Indiana)
HTS=? (I am guessing Huntington, West Virginia)
IAD=Washington (Dulles)
LGA=New York City (La Guardia)
ORF=Norfolk, VA
PIT=Pittsburg
SYR=Syracuse (NY)
TOL=Toledo (Ohio)
YYZ=Toronto

UA93 crashed at 10:03:11. Warren notices correctly that the last DLBLK message from UA93 was received at 10:01:57/59ET by ground stations Pittsburgh (ca. 80 miles from Shanksville) and Washington-Dulles (ca. 150 miles from Shanksville).
After crash time, there are no more DLBLK messages, only uplinks.

Rob Balsamo at P4T doubts Warren's expertise, and his interpretation of "BepStnName=" tags for DLBLK messages, and mockingly points out that a DLBLL was received from UA93 at 09:47:31ET by ground stations in Detroit, Dulles and Toronto. The message was also received by Pittsburgh and HTS (Huntington, WV?).
Rob seems to think this is not possible. However, at the time the plane had turned near Cleveland and was somewhere near the Ohio-Pennsylvania-West Virginia state borders, heading east towards Pittsburgh. That location was approx.

• <200 miles from Detroit
• <250 miles from Toronto
• ~250 miles from Washington
• ~50 miles from Pittsurgh
• ~200 miles from Huntington

All within reasonable range for planes at altitude. At the time, UA93 was still at about 19,000 feet (5700m). At this altitude, the horizon is about 170 miles away.
(Details of flight path here).
Reading through the log file, it becomes clear that Warren's interpretation of station names for downlinks is spot-on: Early in the flight, the akronyms for airports in New York feature heavly, later in the flight, Ohio takes over, and always there are occasional messages picked up locations near the horizon, such as Baltimore, Buffalo, Norfolk, Toronto, Cincinnati, Huntington.
Also, following the target stations of ULMSG messages, we see how UA93 was supposed to fly.


Conclusion:
The ACARS message log nicely corroborates the null hypothesis that UA93 flew from Newark out west, was diverted near Cleveland around 9:35, flew back east towards Pennsylvania and crashed shortly after 10:01.

The one good thing about aviation is those who do do and those who don't make it up.
May the cockpit door ever remain a stupidity filter !

I dunno....Balsammo used to be allowed to fly commercial planes......doubtful anyone would employ him now though.

 

[tsig]

Hi,

I have a file which disproves assertions of P4T regarding ACARS messages to UAL93. This is my post on P4T discussing this.

Warren.

I followed the discussion about the cockpit door, it was great to see how you step by step demolished his 'no door open' theory.

Good work.




ETA: looks like you got under Bobby's skin:

For the record, Warren tried to reply again. As expected, he has evaded my requests. In a court of law, this would be known as "non-responsive" and a Judge could hold Warren in contempt. But then again, Warren will never make it to the stand as an expert witness in Aviation.

I will not allow Warren to spread more disinformation on this forum until he addresses what he has avoided for nearly a year.

Warren, your replies to the ACARS argument are in a safe place and will be restored when you address and most importantly, correct the issues you have been avoiding.

I will not allow you to troll this forum with further confirmed disinformation and speculation when you have demonstrated that you avoid corrections to your past analysis and confirmed disinformation.

This forum is timely as there is a poster on a MB here down under who is currently attempting to make a meal out of Woody nut's and Balsmo's alleged findings on ACARS and Flights 175,93.

It is ironic. Warren, I have programed from assembly to PASCAL, you are an expert on the FDR and decoding it. Not surprised you technically proved Balsamo failed again.

Balsamo fails to realize you are an expert on what you post. I doubt Balsamo understands the extent of your expertise. Your efforts are equal or better than an effort at the Masters level...

Good work

Thanks for the kind words again, Beachnut.

Rob does understand that I actually have some expertise when it suits him. Look at this page scroll down to the section DATA FRAME LAYOUT and you will see a page from my web site referenced in footnote 3.

Thanx for that beachnut .I believe if it would be worthwhile if say 9/11 myths added an item on ACARS challenging the rubbish generated by Rob Balasmo and Pilots for 9/11 Truth. Drowning as they do the salient issues in techno babble ,drivel and dross that is nevertheless tempting bait for the uninformed ,naive and gullible.
Remember it is this type unreason that demigods like Hitler and Stalin used to eliminate race and class enemies.!

Pilots for 911 truth can't have the truth exposed on a forum dedicated to lies and failed claims.

 

[wstutt]

Since Rob won't be letting any of my posts regarding ACARS to appear on the P4T forums any time soon, I would like to take the opportunity of responding to this P4T post here.

Here is a quote from David Knerr, Manager, Dispatch Automation, United Airlines from page 36 of this document from the above post:

KNERR provided information related to the printout of text messages transmitted to and from UA FLIGHT 93 on 09/11/2001 through the AIRCRAFT COMMUNICATION ADDRESSING AND REPORTING SYSTEM (ACARS). KNERR identified this system as one means of communication that is utilized between aircraft and commercial carriers, like UA, to transmit text data. KNERR related that data is either uplinked to the aircraft from fixed communication centers or downlinked from the aircraft to receiving communication centers. KNERR explained the uplink and downlink references on an ACARS message. DLBLK refers to downlink while ULBLK refers to uplink.

These references also identify that a ACARS message has been received by its sender, either ground communications or the aircraft. In the final moments, at 10:12 AM EST, of UA FLIGHT 93's flight, ACARS messages were being sent from ground communications but were not being received. This was causing the ACARS messages to be rejected. KNERR advised that FLIGHT 93's low altitude may have caused this dilemma or the fact that FLIGHT 93 had already crashed at the time the messages were sent.

If we have a look at this document at 10:12AM EST (14:12 GMT) we see:

(Note to moderators: This image is from my web site. I give myself permission to hot link to it)

Those ACARS messages look like the following ones from this document:

DDLXCXA CHIAK CHI68R
.CHIAKUA 111410/ED
CMD
AN N591UA/GL CMI
- QUCHIAKUA 1UA93 EWRSFO
- MESSAGE FROM CHIDD -
DO NOT DIVERT TO DC AREA
CHIDD ED BALLINGER

;09111410 108575 0706


DDLXCXA CHIAK CHI68R
.CHIAKUA 111410/ED
CMD
AN N591UA/GL CMI
- QUCHIAKUA 1UA93 EWRSFO
- MESSAGE FROM CHIDD -
DO NOT DIVERT TO DC AREA
CHIDD ED BALLINGER

;09111411 108575 0707

Now according to the interpretation of Ed Ballinger, aircraft dispatcher, United Airlines, those messages were acknowledged by the aircraft at 14:10 and 14:11 GMT respectively which is after the official time of the crash of UAL93. According to Michael J. Winter these messages which he referred to as messages #18 and #19 on page 57 of this document were both

... sent to the printer and Message #19 also activated an audible signal in the aircraft.

But according to David Knerr, those messages were not received by the aircraft.

So we have David Knerr disagreeing with Ed Ballinger and Michael J. Winter. All three of these men worked for United Airlines at the time.

P4T take the side of Ed Ballinger and Michael J. Winter and assert that the aircraft was still in the air after the official time of the crash.

Since there is no DLBLKs and therefore no ACARS messages received from the aircraft after the official time of the crash, I take the side of David Knerr.

Warren.

 

[Oystein]

Warren,

I scanned the thread at P4T and your reply here, and would submit the following suggestions:

• Ballinger, when saying that messages were "acknowledged", wasn't refering to feedback fromn the plane, but to feedback fromn the RGS. At least I don't recall him quoted as explicitly saying that the message was ack'ed by the plane
• Winter mentions a feedback that no one alive has heard: an audible signal in the cockpit. How does he know there actually was an audible signal? I suggest he only meant that there would have been an audible signal.

Does this make some sense?

 

[wstutt]

Hi Oystein,

Warren,

I scanned the thread at P4T and your reply here, and would submit the following suggestions:

You're correct, Ballinger didn't say acknowledged. He said:

Mr. Ballinger stated that the ACARS messages have two times listed: the time sent and the time received. He stated that once he sends the message it is delivered to the addressed aircraft through AIRINC immediately. He is not aware of any delay in the aircraft receiving the message after he sends it.

P4T claims that the second time is the time the aircraft received the message.

• Winter mentions a feedback that no one alive has heard: an audible signal in the cockpit. How does he know there actually was an audible signal? I suggest he only meant that there would have been an audible signal.

Does this make some sense?

Yes, I agree with you, but P4T takes his statement literally.

Warren.

Hi Oystein,

P4T claims that the second time is the time the aircraft received the message.

This seems to be the more natural interpretation of Ballinger's (paraphrased) words, but couldn't it be receipt by the RGS?

Yes, I agree with you, but P4T takes his statement literally.

Warren.

And it is obvious that this literal interpretation is not something that Winter could possibly know.
