Is the public ACARS log missing a block of messages?
Jericho 2019 attributes a ~26-minute exclusion in the released ACARS traffic log and an ACARS-unavailable window of roughly 22–78 minutes. Needs a line-by-line check against the MOT 2015 Factual Information ACARS appendix.
The official file already says last ACARS was 01:07 MYT and that later SATCOM handshakes are not ACARS. The open question is narrower: whether the published log has an internal gap that is not explained by the known 01:07 cutoff. Until that appendix is re-read against the booklet’s tables, treat the 26-minute figure as attributed, not confirmed.
