6. POS REPORT
These settings control the transmission of present position information while the aircraft is
on the ground or in the air. These transmissions are sent to the DSP and may be used to
provide flight following for aircraft tracking purposes. Transmission reporting time intervals
(INTV) may also be configured.
The POS REPORT message is periodic and defaults to every 15 minutes. If the aircraft is
configured for VHF, then SAT in the normal priority over the ocean SAT would be used for
the position report downlinks which could potentially be costly. In this case the alternate
priority would have only VHF which would prevent the downlink of automatic POS
REPORT messages when VHF was in NO COMM (i.e. it wouldn't switch to trying SAT).
