Human Verification Tests — Phase 15: ACARS, AOC, ATSU, Data, Status

Overview

This page tracks Phase 15 (ACARS, AOC, ATSU, DATA, STATUS pages) MCDU features that require live human testing on the A320 MCDU display. These items were identified during automated phase verification but cannot be confirmed without a running simulator session. For the consolidated cross-phase test tracker, see Human Verification Tests.

Each test has a status:

PENDING — Not yet tested
PASSED — Confirmed working in live MCDU session
FAILED — Issue found, tracked for gap closure
DEFERRED — Blocked by missing infrastructure (noted in remarks)
