MONTREAL, May 14 : The United Nations aviation agency said on Tuesday that the industry would voluntarily begin to improve aircraft tracking while the body develops mandatory standards following the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) gave no firm timeline for when those binding rental car myrtle beach standards on flight tracking would go into effect, reflecting the challenge of reaching an agreement with industry and governments around the world on a longstanding problem.
Najib also recommended changing rental car myrtle beach airplane rental car myrtle beach communications rental car myrtle beach systems so they could not be disabled in mid-flight and prolonging the battery life of black boxes , which record cockpit conversations and aircraft data, to make them easier to locate after accidents.
These changes may not have prevented the MH370 or Air France 447 tragedies, he said, referring to an Air France flight that crashed en route to Paris from Brazil in 2009. But they would make it harder for an aircraft to simply disappear, and easier to find any aircraft that did.
Najib also accepted that Malaysian authorities delayed getting rental car myrtle beach a search operation for MH370 under way after Boeing 777 disappeared from air traffic rental car myrtle beach control screens on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing just over two months ago.
The countries that belong to ICAO s governing council met industry groups on Monday and Tuesday in Montreal. They agreed global tracking of aircraft was needed following the disappearance of flight MH370, but did not commit to a binding, global solution or say when they would do so.
Instead, a task force set up by global airline industry group the International Air Transport Association (IATA) agreed to come up with proposals for better tracking by the end of September, and IATA said its members would begin implementing them voluntarily, rental car myrtle beach before any rules were in place.
They re going to take it and obviously they will review it very closely and take it to their Commission, but we have a much better chance of the standards coming back the other way to basically embrace what we re already doing, he said.
Inadequate tracking has been among the factors blamed for the failure rental car myrtle beach to locate MH370, which is presumed to have crashed with 239 people on board in a remote part of the Indian Ocean about 1,600km (1,000 miles) northwest of Perth, Australia.
Created in 1944, Montreal-based ICAO coordinates between the 191 states that have signed the Chicago Convention, the main treaty that governs civil aviation. The organisation sets binding standards, and prefers to find a consensus among member countries, which is time-consuming.
If it is the industry, they will have to bear all the uncertainty about technical change, negotiations with pilots and so on. It is not just about nickel and diming rental car myrtle beach in safety, there is real uncertainty.
Hiatt, with IATA, said no task force was needed after the Air France crash because authorities knew enough to locate the wreckage within a few days: MH370 went some place that we didn t exactly know, where with Air France there was a good idea of where it went, he said.
ICAO noted the substantial investment required by some airlines rental car myrtle beach to install tracking gear. It asked the meeting to recommend that any standards ICAO backs, be as widely adopted as possible, not rule out emerging technologies and be part of a solution that does more than simply track flights.
Things move slowly as there are so many agencies as well as companies, rental car myrtle beach Aboulafia said. Throw in uncertainty on costs and technological change that might make a major investment obsolete, and it is a recipe for confusion. Reuters
