l'ACARS ( Aircraft Communication Addressing and Reporting System )
Système de communications codées (selon la norme ARINC) entre un aéronef et une station au sol. C'est un système automatique de surveillance par satellite de l'état de l'avion en vol, envoyé vers le centre de maintenance de la compagnie aérienne propriétaire de l'avion. Ainsi le
service de maintenance sait bien avant l'arrivée de l'avion son état, ses pannes éventuelles et donc les interventions à effectuer. ( Wikipedia )

ARINC communications and address reporting system (digital communications system used primarily for aircraft-to-airline messages)
In 1978 ARINC introduced ACARS (Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System), which is a datalink system that enables ground stations (airports, aircraft maintenance bases, etc.) and commercial aircraft to communicate without voice, but data, due to the datalink system being integrated with aircraft systems via a Communications Management Unit (CMU), such as fuel quantity, weight on wheels, FMS, etc. Weather, gate assignments, security advisories and other information can be transmitted to and from the flight deck without using voice thus reducing the pilot workload and allowing them to focus on managing other portions of flight.
