 Main criticism: the missing radar. Van Beveren: "They say always that easy, the plane disappeared from radar. The fact is: In the southern hemisphere there are large areas of the oceans no radar. "Approximately 400 km of the coast jets disappear from the screen ...
A possible solution: install GPS systems. Michael Boyd, aviation expert from Colorado: "The technology is there for 15 years." Clearly it was not at will - and the money. A complete conversion alone would cost U.S. airlines 25 billion euros. In times of financial crisis, probably too expensive.
Second solution: Flight data recorder (black box upgrade) permanently with satellite connection. Robert Francis, former vice chairman of American Aviation: learn how important data is constantly transmitted to the airlines. This too can bring in an emergency rescuers to the crash site quickly.
