deactivate message to the tracking server followed by the DZMx receiving an acknowledgement.
The status of this process is displayed on the status line:
»
A.R.M. Active is displayed when the tracking server has responded and confirmed that A.R.M.
is active; the current aircraft status is appended to the message.
»
A.R.M. Terminated is displayed briefly when the tracking server has responded confirming
A.R.M. has been deactivated.
»
Requesting is displayed when A.R.M. mode is activated by the user and indicates that
confirmation of A.R.M. operation has been requested from the tracking server.
»
Cancelling is displayed when A.R.M. mode has been disabled by the user and a termination
acknowledgement has been requested from the tracking server.
»
No Response. Retry? is displayed when A.R.M. mode activation or termination confirmation
has not been received from the tracking server after several attempts; press ENTER to keep
re-trying.
»
No Server Reply is displayed to advise that confirmation of A.R.M. activation or deactivation
has not been received. No further automated attempts are made.

end of the flight, otherwise the tracking system will send overdue alerts. If A.R.M. has
not been terminated after landing, beeps will sound in your headset to remind you.
