Aircraft tracking

Dersom formålet er lokalisering av FDR og kun det, er dette tull satt i system. Nå blandes dette i hop med ATC, og da blir det egentlig enda mer tullete; disse tingene må separeres. Jeg mener nok en gang at ELT som spretter av flyet når det treffer noe hardt, er den enkleste, billigste og beste løsningen. ELT`en sender automatisk på nødfrekvens som plukkes opp av COSPAS/SARSAT. Her kan også ligge data fra FDR/CVR

At issue is the guarantee to aviation of set radio spectrum availability on satellites which would allow the industry to adequately expand its aircraft tracking and NextGen air traffic control initiatives. Radio spectrum allocations are reviewed periodically by the ITU to address demand from diverse civil, governmental, and commercial applications.

"Given the limitations of aircraft tracking today, this technology is simply indispensable," said Eamonn Brennan, Chief Executive of the Irish Aviation Authority, which has wide responsibility for air traffic management in the North Atlantic at a European Parliament symposium entitled 'Disappeared Aircraft in a Connected World: An Urgent Call to Action,' which took place in Brussels on July 30.
