• Typing into a CDU scratchpad replaces a displayed advisory rather than appending the entry to the advisory. CLR still clears an advisory in one press.
• Stop automatic ATIS subscriptions on the airborne-to-ground transition,
• Keep PREV FLT REC in large text beside automatic small-font FOB. Manual FOB overrides remain large, with the existing READY TO BOARD=YES pre-fuel trigger unchanged.
• Added a fix to the FOB figure being changed after fuelling.

BACARS 10.7.21 - This release aligns BACARS to the 2020 FCOM version last seen on a BA 747-400 with NGFMC and adds additional pages which have previously not been added

INIT/PRES FLT

• Manual final-report SEND captures the completed report, submits it, prints one copy and resets to INIT/PRES FLT 1/2.
• Remove PRINT from current-flight page 2 ad SEND now sends print outs inline with real world behaviour.
• Prefill departure FOB from FQIS instead of requiring entry. Overwriting this turns from small to large font and acts as a prefuel request when paired with pressing Y on ready to board. I recommend eFuelling still but its useful if you forget.
• Corrected Autoland display
• Add PREV FLT REC at 4R with read-only saved flight and crew pages. This will store (in memory) the previous flight info and allows you to reprint.
• Tidy up of formatting of CDU lines.

Free text and message displays

• ACCEPT prepares a validated message without sending; accepted messages offer PRINT and SEND.
• Shows small SENDING/SENT, prevent duplicate sends and clear successful drafts after five seconds without disturbing newer edits or another page.
• Centre FREE TEXT SUMMARY and STORED DOWNLINKS titles; use large stored-downlink titles with small page numbers. Correct defect-report page-number sizing.

ATC

• Correct PDC/Oceanic navigation, FMC callsign now prefilled, PDC airport prefilled and Oceanic address now has presets like IRL or allows manual addressing.
• Add field validation, punctuation preservation, immutable submissions, callsign guards, duplicate-send protection, small status prompts and guarded five-second clearing. Preserve working payload formats except intentional retention of remark hyphens.

Performance requests

• PERF REQ: prefill departure, retain consistent Y/N controls, SEND on page 2 only and runway on page 2. Reject negative OAT and malformed numeric/correction entries safely.
• Preserve PEROI format, units, local calculation and CARD delivery. Guard transmission completion and apply the existing random ZFW adjustment only once after success.

Weather/AIS

• Default to departure airport/DEPARTURE before takeoff and destination/ARRIVAL after the first airborne indication, preserving independent manual overrides.
• Offer ARRIVAL, DEPARTURE, UPDATE and UPDATE OFF only with ATIS selected. UPDATE monitors the last requested ATIS airport/type every 15 real minutes and stores/prints changed reports only.
• Support structured SIGMET prefix matching such as EG
• Improve partial-result handling and request status.

Diversion

• Enable DIVERSION at 3R, correct ERASE to 5L, validate airport/ETA and retain submitted details with small SENT.
• Reuse accepted portal diversion reports and resolve IATA entries before information requests. Retries do not duplicate company reports.
• Diversion METS now retrieves METAR and TAF for the diversion airport only, stores and prints them. No alternate-airport requirement. AIS uses the existing .FIC route.

Departure/arrival

• Enable DEP/ARR at 4R with phase-dependent functions.

FLT PLAN and MISC inspection

• Enable FLT PLN at 2R and MISC at 5R with large menu labels.
• This will pull the latest FLTPLN from the portal into the COROUTE to be used to request a new route without re-inialising the flight.
