Once all the furore has settled i think the aviation industry should be looking at a solution for all the scrabbling around looking for CVR's FDR's amongst wreckage and start looking at a permament 'uplink' via ACARS .Its not going to be a perfect 'fix' but it would certainly be a step in right direction.Our MOC can inform us before the aircraft lands what is wrong even down to a valve taking too long to open close etc . I know cost is a factor but but if legislated then they would have no choice.Dont flame me i'm an engineer and would just like to see certain aspects sped up, even down to pin pointing the actual crash sight.
