A week after the anniversary of the disappearance of the Malaysia Flight 370 on its way to Beijing with 239 people on board, Australia Airservices are beginning to test a new method of plane tracking. This new method of tracking will allow planes to be tracked every 15 minutes rather than every 30 to 40 minutes. Air traffic controllers will be able to find the planes easily because of the satellite-based positioning technology. Although, it's not one hundred percent full proof, it is still a step closer to preventing such catastrophes like the Flight 370 crash from happening again.
I believe that even though we have not found a complete solution, we are still making progress to prevent history from repeating itself. Not only does it serve the victims' families knowledge that we are moving towards a solution, but it also ensures citizen safety. Based on what authorities have found, the Malaysia flight travelled for another 7 hours before crashing into the Indian Ocean. The whereabouts of the wreckage and what exactly happened is unknown.
It would be interesting to find out what exactly happened on that flight. Hopefully airplane tracking technology will be improved so that a situation like that is prevented from repeating itself!
ReplyDeleteI've heard about this plane and I hope that this technology will help in future reference.
ReplyDeletepractice makes perfect, so i believe that plane tracking will eventually work we just have to keep trying new methods to eventually find a solution the malaysian flight accident was sort of an eye opener that this needs to be corrected
