  1. Safeguarding flight data and locating/recovering on-board recorders

  2. Background • Some accidents shows difficulties to recover the recorders, or the data recorded on them: • AF-447, 1st June 2009 • Yemenia, 30th June 2009 • South African Airways, 28th November 1987 • French BEA established the “Flight Data Recovery Working Group” to look into new technology • to safeguard flight data • to facilitate the location and recovery of on-board recorders

  3. Background Group’s ToR: Propose solutions to enhance the recovery of flight data after an accident Asses the technical feasibility of each solution Present the advantages and disadvantages of each solution Present the degree of “maturity” as well as the cost of each solution This Group did not cover legal aspects

  4. BEA’ Recommendations • BEA issued safety recommendations settled on three areas • Increasing the transmission time and range of the ULB beacons • The sending of data on initialisation • The installation of deployable recorders • AIG2008 agreed to recommend the implementation of Annex 13, Paragraph 5.12 and associated Attachment E

  5. Proposals for the Conference • Recommend ICAO to evaluate changes in flight data recording and protection and propose changes in the appropriate Annexes • It could be done by the FLIRECP panel, transformed to also address data protection and other topics raised by AIG2008

  6. Permanent communications with aircraft over oceanic areas

  7. Background • Loss of AF447 highlighted that non-permanent communication may adversely impact on • the timely launching of search and rescue phases • aircraft wreckage recovery • Potential of improved surveillance and route conformance monitoring • Enhance flight safety and efficiency

  8. Proposals for the Conference (1) Call on ICAO to: • undertake a comprehensive review of potential short term enhancements to flight tracking and route conformance monitoring capabilities • ADS-C and CPDLC capabilities through satellite communications. • review means and procedures which mitigate HF communication reliability issues over the high seas

  9. Proposals for the Conference (2) Call on ICAO to: review the use of modern communication technologies in case of emergency explore longer term solutions to those issues, taking account existing regional initiatives OPTIMI report by the Council to the 37th Assembly
