Debate Black Box Problem

Debate Black Box Problem

The cause of the loss of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 weekend is not yet known , but the debate about aviation safety technology will continue to roll . One is the technology that is designed to provide guidance directly and immediately above the plane crash .

Monday was the third day of search Boeing 777 - 200ER 12 -year -old who disappeared on Saturday after midnight local time . Malaysia Airlines is owned aircraft disappeared from radar while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing at an altitude of 35,000 feet . Middle investigators probe a number of possibilities , from engine failure , pilot error , until an act of terrorism .

Investigators do not have direct access to the data from the plane's black box during the final stages of flight . Therefore , investigators must first find the data that is stored in the body of the plane , and then evaluate the data ever recorded .

The concept of transmitting data directly from the plane's black box has been discussed for years . But this concept was never implemented , because it is expensive . This concept utilizes a satellite network for sending important safety information on a plane to land , either in the very emergency situation or just before the plane crashed .
This information can include data on the performance of the engine and aircraft systems , command pilot flew by , and the possibility of problems with cockpit automation .

This direct transmission will function as a provider of real time data when the black box is damaged or lost , either temporary or permanent . Black box flight typically store digital data and conversation pilots in the cockpit .
" This should be applied from the first , given the current rapid development of technology and the increasing importance of providing data directly to an investigator , " said Alan Diehl , a former senior investigator commercial aircraft accidents and safety of U.S. military personnel . " We can no longer rely on finding the black box in any accident . "

The black box real-time systems can utilize satellite and ground-based network systems . These usually wear such a system is to provide Wi - Fi to its passengers . With this system , the security of data plane can use the actual signal is intended as a service to passengers , according to the aviation industry watchers .

This debate is not new . The campaign for this change raised when an Air France flight number 447 mysteriously crashed into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009 ago , while flying from Brazil to France . The incident killed 228 passengers on board . Leading air safety groups , such as the European aviation regulators , supporting the idea that the plane can immediately send data safety in emergency situations .

A number of aircraft made by Boeing and Airbus over long distances over the ocean or polar regions have adopted this data communication over a network . They often send the position and status periodically and automatically , when the radio network is not functioning normally reliable .
In addition , some navigation equipment and flight tracker now allows mengirimdata about aircraft position and velocity with high accuracy .ASWJ
