System called adsb, automatic dependent surveillance broadcast. youre giving information thats sending directly from an airplane to a satellite and back down to a ground station that reports it. just similar to a radar situation. so air traffic control constantly knows where you are. and that system is available in the north atlantic. >> what do you mean from company to air traffic control? >> well, adsb is an air traffic control function where acars is more developed as a company-type function....

Necessarily lengthy, the faa only wants to put these kinds of devices on aircraft after theyre fully vetted. and the implementation path for the total adsb network is required in all aircraft by 2020. >> can the adsb that youre describing be dismantled? if someone whos a bad actor wishes to shut it down, do they have the opportunity to do so? >> i think thats up to the faa. i see no reason at all why the system which we use couldnt be hard wired so it could not be shut down from the cockpit if i...

System. the augmented system goes over global star, and the result is, you can continuously track one second at a time for continuously across any trip and know exactly where an airplane is, that is invaluable, and in the case of 370, it would have told us whether the plane turned. whether the plane continued straight, and when it stopped emitting all together. >> is the government delaying the implementation of the product that you want to bring to mark sunset. >> they are not. we are in the pr...

Weeks, everybody calls with an example of saying, if i can track my iphone, why cant they find this plane? i said the other day, i flu home on jet blue across the country a couple days ago, watching cnn. if i can watch cnn in realtime, why cant we find the plane? you think you have a solution, what is it? >> the technology does exist and theres a next gen system that the faa is mandating which has a component called adsb. it allows you to track aircraft from a signal that is emitted from the bel...

During the last few years. its been tough times at global star, thats over, a new constellation has been repopulated. and we are happy to be back offering services. >> so heres the question that i ask, is the market going to sort this out? we are all so frustrated, and i have to tell you, on my radio program for the last three weeks, everybody calls with an example of saying, if i can track my iphone, why cant they find this plane? i said the other day, i flu home on jet blue across the country ...

Central data bank so were getting more, not less? were getting pretty much, but still, now you realize just how great the demand is. let me start with les. >> well, you know, i go across the north atlantic quite a bit, a system, adsb a ground-based system through a satellite. were always tracked. this is amazing that this whole in this part of the world could provide this system. this technology is already there. my airline reeves constant data about almost every aspect of altitude, air speed. a...

That doesnt exist anymore. as a safety inspector, i had to justify financially why it is that its good to do this. >> this already exists on the north atlantic. that technology is already being utilized and has to be utilized. of course, its regulated, but it doesnt make sense to me that it would cost that much. >> i fly say across the atlantic. i cant use any wi-fi. but if i fly from new york to l.a. i can use wi-fi. theres still this, in my view, this view it may be damaging to the planes rada...

As a safety >> this already exists on the north atlantic. that technology is already being utilized and has to be utilized. of course, its regulated, but it doesnt make sense to me that it would cost that much. >> i fly say across the atlantic. i cant use any wi-fi. but if i fly from new york to l.a. i can use wi-fi. theres still this, in my view, this view it may be damaging to the planes radar system, but theres been no evidence of that. is it not time that we wi-fied all planes for this kind ...

Location. i wouldnt worry too much about that. that is common in the system and there are ways to control that. >> its news to a lot of us that are not pilots or faa chiefs of staff that there are times that people dont know about. >> they are just position reports every 15 minutes through a third party that communicates back to ground control. we dont have radar coverage over that part of the world. in the pacific, we have adsb, a satellite uplink down to the ground. theres a better tracking in...

Implementation process. its called adsb. automated dependent surveillance broadcast. it is gps based. it does update every second. its good for basically ground to ground. we can always track the movement of the airplane. it is intended to replace radar under this nextgen program. its just slow in implementation. had this airplane had that system on it, as long as it wasnt disabled, because it does use parts of the transponder for sending information out, as long as the system wasnt disabled, th...
