nuntius receptus et missus (est)
The 'est' need not be expressed since it's very commonly understood, just as in the English phrase.
'Nuntius' means both 'message' and 'messenger' 'Receptus' and 'missus' are the perfect passive participles of 'recipere' and 'mittere' respectively.
My suggestion would therefore in English be expressed 'message (has been) received and sent'.

ex est
I have seen this phrase mostly in German dictionaries of Latin phrases, like this one: http://www.peterhug.ch/lexikon/1888_bild/05_0962#Bild_1888 - the German translation is here given as "es ist aus, vorbei", which means "it's over". Perhaps this would suit the pilot situation, as well. I think the situation demands a short and concise phrase. I don't know the original source.
