ICAO's Secretariat has asked members to endorse a proposed global flight tracking system called the Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System, or GADSS, after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 last March on a flight to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.
The same plan calls for a new, separate "autonomous distress tracking system" that could be activated from the ground, and ejectable flight recorders. But it would take years to build - some of the requirements could go into effect as late as 2023.
