Re: NORAC Rule 241 and 242?

I work under GCOR and am not very familiar with NORAC rules but I believe you are looking for rule 406 which states (in part):

406. ABS Failure: Non-signaled DCS Substitution

a. Form D Line 6 or Bulletin Order
When an ABS failure occurs, non-signaled DCS rules may be substituted by Bulletin Order or Form D line 6...

and

b. Rules-in-effect
ABS and CSS rules do not apply when non-signaled DCS rules are substituted for ABS.

Apparently the block system was suspended, which means they would have been operating under DCS rules. What was specified on their Form D is the mystery though.
