[ACARS] OY-KBA visiting Helsinki, Finland

[acars@mailman.qth.net]

Hello all, 
it was a great day here in Helsinki. We had the first (as far as I know)
4-engine Airbus visiting our airport when SAS flew their OY-KBA from
Stockholm to Helsinki and back just to do some testing. 
It must have been a surprise to the passengers as the flight is normally
operated with an MD-80.

Below are some of the messages. I wonder if any of you know how to
interprete the performance data(?) from SAS a/c:s? 

With Regards,
Sami
