Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS)

The Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) is a digital communication system used in aviation that allows aircraft to send and receive messages automatically. It helps pilots and airline operations communicate important information such as flight status, weather updates, and maintenance messages without the need for voice communication. ACARS enhances efficiency, safety, and coordination by providing timely data exchange between the aircraft and ground services, ensuring that important information is shared quickly and accurately during flights.
