FAA Tracking All Boeing 737 Max Flights Around World With Satellites
All Boeing 737 Max flights around the world are being tracked by U.S. regulators who are keeping watch on the plane after its 20-month grounding. From a report: The Federal Aviation Administration is using a network of satellites capable of tracking planes in even the most remote regions as if they were under surveillance by local radars, according to the agency. The data is being provided by Virginia-based Aireon, the FAA said in an emailed statement on Friday. Aireon, which reached an agreement in November to provide the FAA with expanded flight data, is tracking Max flights for unusual events, such as rapid descents, said Vincent Capezzuto, the company's chief technology officer. The monitoring began Jan. 29, Capezzuto said during a Feb. 12 webinar hosted by Aviation Week. "Recently, we engaged with them on a 737 Max monitor," he said. "You can literally monitor it on a situational awareness display." If any unusual events occur on the plane, "safety engineers and inspectors will use the early notification to further analyze the incident," the FAA said.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
