Analysis

06234L KJFK KATL7

First 6 characters seem to be broken down into 2 character fields:

Offset Value Meaning
+00 06 Day of the month (e.g. for Aug 16, 2022 the value would be 16)
+02 23 Hour of the day
+04 4L Message label

The next 3 fields are populated by the origin airport ICAO code, destination airport ICAO code, and the number 7. I'm not sure why it is 7 but all my example instances (~291 entries) have the value 7.

/FN 0684

The second line describes the flight number for the leg.

/ENG 1 RUN 224600/ENG 2 RUN 225829

The third line has what I believe to be the start timestamp of each of the two engines. In this example, engine 1 started its "run" at 22:46:00 and engine 2 started its "run" at 22:58:29.
