ACARS is a one-way VHF radio data transmission either from the ground, or the aircraft. There is no reasonable way for the sender to know if the message was received. If there was, I wouldn't need to call my company's MCC to set up a test message, which I have to be in the cockpit to receive and then call back the MCC to tell them if it was successful. If there was an acknowledgment, it could be done solely by the MCC with no need for a middleman. In normal flight ops, the MCC could always pick up the radio and call the aircraft on a company frequency to determine if a message was received. ACARS even has voice capability, so the pilot could simply punch the VHF 3 mic select button, switch the ACARS transmit from data to voice and say "got it, thanks".

I don't know if you visited the links on the other thread, but I am not an "OS defender". As far as this OP, "ACARS Confirms 9/11 UA 175 Aircraft Was Airborne Long After Crash!", that is nothing but horse manure. Kind of like the cockpit door never opened on AAL77's flight fiasco. So yeah, I'll make fun of and bash the insanity that is P4T/CIT.
AAL175 was NOT "airborne after crash". I defer to those who have experience with such systems to address things like ACARS.

All I know is, UAL175 exhibits an unbroken radar track on multiple systems from Logan to the WTC. No aircraft swaps, just a straight-forward termination of flight at the WTC which the rest of us witnessed live on television.

How embarrassing of you to bring this up. Didn't you get the memo? After several weeks of Capt. Bob stomping around the Internet beating his chest like some kind of retarded gorilla in heat touting this as the latest smoking gun that proves 9/11 was an inside job, he removed this very subject from his website because some random dude that doesn't know jack crap about aviation made him look like the complete fool that he is.
Get with the program.

You must have misunderstood me, Capt. Bob is the one who will be embarrassed. He's the one that had to remove it from his website because he was so blatantly wrong.
Sorry to disappoint but I'm not remotely embarrassed.
It's not my opinion, it's a known fact. He removed that snafu from his website after he was proven wrong. If you don't believe me, just ask him.
You're entitled to your opinion, but that is all it is an opinion.
You might want to check the OP to see if this subject was "removed". Durrr…

You should be. You failed to go to the link were ACARS was described. If you question that source, you could always research it yourself to confirm the validity of the sources 911 Files provided you. You wont though, you are not interested in facts....you want to further your agenda of fantasy.

All references to the ACARS analysis on our front page and in the Latest News Section of this forum have been removed until those who sourced the material can gather their thoughts on the argument and come to a conclusion.

As I said, you're entitled to your opinion, because you are speaking for you, and nobody else.
It seems the thread that you claimed was removed is still there, if in your opinion it is wrong, then contact the OP, but again, it's just your opinion, and your opinion alone. Other people are entitled to think you are wrong, like you were wrong about the post being removed, when in fact it wasn't.
Probably best to check first next time.

Originally posted by Boone 870Good catch. I was absolutely wrong.
There are 10 remote ground stations closer to the flight path than FWA, even more if including CMI ground station in Champaign, IL which is nearly 500 miles from the Shanksville crater. However, according to Mr. Winter, United 93 received messages from CMI remote ground station in Champaign, IL more than 7 minutes after the alleged crash(1). Mr. Winter explains -
