Its Time
Yet another plane off the radar and lost. With the number that have been lost, shot down etc its time for the industry to make a rapid advance in safety by requiring Flight Recorder data to be transmitted to the ground in real time.
The capability is available and may cost some money. Safety costs money.
My approach to flight safety investigation is to ensure that the primary purpose is to prevent the next accident, this can be achieved by this requirement.
Its time for all ppruners to get moving and badger, cajole, write, and generally pursue the achievement of this major safety breakthrough.
Its Time !
