Cases, in the united states, for example, lots of fees on your ticket for them to make money. they could argue that its so rare for a plane to fall out of the sky and need this kind of technology why add the cost? you have a better chance of winning the lottery then falling out of the sky in an airplane. >> well i dont think that any airline will cut back on safety. i think thats a key issue to them. its a matter of is it possible to do it. theres so many airlines out there in the world have tha...

Just about 40 minutes after this plane took off. what that last signal was specifically and what it tells us? >> right. and theres a little bit of a, a little bit of a mystery about some of the signals. now the initial information said that first the radar data went down which is really nothing more than coordinates. the radar shows you where you are and it is primary radar, its literally just a blip on the screen and if you have a secondary, then you have altitude and other information. and the...

On the water and also from the air. joining me to talk about all of this, again, let me bring in forensic audio expert, paul ginsberg, president of pro audio labs. les abend, flies a 777, also a contributing editor of "flying" magazine. les, this is a question we ask time and time again after mh-370 disappeared. and that is, realtime streaming data, why is it that we still do not have realtime streaming date to so that someone on the ground can no at all times exactly whats going in the cockpit,...

Contact. as mary said in an emergency situation you may not have time to make a distress call. however if that airplane continued the fly for 30 minutes. if there was communication with adsb that would have been able to be used as a distress signal itself. so im not sure that theres something else other than simply a catastrophic failure of some kind. >> in airbus 330, it too was flying in bad weather, whether it fell out of the sky? >> thats right, and on that one, of course we did have the inf...

Lot going on in the cockpit, hes responding to whatever has happened as far as the diversion goes thats normal theres no reason to call a distress signal. what concerns me most we have reports that the adsb continued to transmit continued to reach out and send information during that time. if it was only a few minutes, i could see why the pilots wouldnt have had time to communicate. in this case if the aircraft continued to fly for almost 30 minutes, at that time you would have expected that if ...

To that particular serial number aircraft although it is to serial number aircraft on either side of it. so thats the only other thing as far as information that we have right now, the air speed indicators were different than what the other aircraft were in that area that may mean that a lot of different things could indicate that there was a headwind in that year or that it was in the middle of its climb. there are many factors and people are trying to fit those together. >> is it possible that...

Can be done by adsb. >> thats the essence of the problem for tracking the plane. we are talking about the actions of the pilot, not the tracking of the airplane. >> the actions of the pilot can be derived from the fdr and cbr. we have been using the system for years and its not really broken. its the fact we cant find the plane is the single point of failure. we cant do that because transponders can be turned off. we can solve that problem pretty quickly. >> go ahead, jeff wise. >> listen, don, ...

To cnn. if i walk in the building if im late, they can use it for disciplinary actions. thats no different than any other profession. michael kay, why is it so different for pilots? the director of the show, the audio track, which the director talks to me it is recorded. >> don, cameras are not the essence of the issue. they are quicker fixes. the time, money and resource to do what you are indicating we should do. >> were not saying that there arent other fixes. hear me out. were not saying the...

Something to point out, too, this aircraft did have communication. we did have the way to track it. what happened was that the transponder was turned off. if the transponder had stayed on, wed still have tracking information. it was either turned off or it failed or there was something that took it out. i think theres something overlooked. yes, i believe streaming data needs to happen, constant surveillance needs to happen. but thats also part of the next gen program coming up with the faa in th...

Control system of next gen, the key technology behind it is adsb. as you pointed out it involves planes carrying gps equipment. they are determining their position by satellite and then through ground-based radio transmitters are able to communicate that informationing to air traffic controllers. its a very sophisticated advanced system. it will go a long way toward improving air safety in the united states. would it have changed the situation with mh-370. why? because mh-370 already had it on b...
