A request for your upcoming UNS-1 FMS
-
If possible, please consider including Hoppie ACARS functionality in the UNS-1 that you're developing for the BAE 146 and F28. My VA community (~1300 members strong, which includes a lot of BAE 146 fans and soon-to-be F28 fans) utilizes Hoppie to send automated gate arrival messages to flights to assign them appropriate gates at their destination airport
The Maddog MD-80 and Fenix A320 include this functionality in their aircraft. It may seem a bit too modern of a functionality for planes of the F28 and BAE-146's vintage, but they did fit ACARS units in the aircraft back then before they included FMSes (example below). Was hoping that piggy backing on the UNS-1 would bring that functionality in with a more minimal lift than implementing an old fashioned ACARS only module, which I know is unlikely.
