The Try For… feature
allows the sender to
specify how long
ARINC should try to
deliver the message.

immediately. ARINC will continue to try to deliver this message for the length of
time that the sender specified. The default is 10 days.
Finally, click send!

Adding FC Instructions and Saving
FC (Flight Coordinator) Instructions are
only required if you need an ARINC FC
to perform part of your message on a
regular basis.
For example, you could list in your
OFF/ON Reports: “Please call dispatch at
+1.410.266.5555 to confirm receipt of the
aircraft’s ETA.”
These instructions are automatically
sent to ARINC FCs any time a
message is sent to this auto forward
code. ARINC will then action the
instructions.
Finally, click Save Auto Forward Code
Page 23

24.

To use the OPS code when composing a message:
Select the auto forward code from the list and check the box. This will allow
you to send updates quickly and to a number of different destinations.
