"Possible debris spotted." How many times did we hear that by mh370.

Actually, bodies have already been found...

The tail section of AirAsia Flight QZ8501 has been found, Indonesian search and rescue chief Bambang Soelistyo said Wednesday.

Searchers have been scouring the choppy waters of the Java Sea for remains from the commercial jet since it lost contact on December 28 with 162 people on board.

Finding the tail section is significant because that is where flight recorders are located in the Airbus 320-200.

It's time to start hosting the recorder data in the cloud so it's available immediately without having to search for anything. Is this being discussed?

I think it's been discussed after MH370 along with having real-time GPS tracking of every flight. I think the conclusion was that it would be prohibitively expensive to install the necessary equipment in every single plane.

More expensive than the tens of millions that the searches cost(ed)?

They probably said the same thing before they started putting black boxes in every plane.

The 2nd black box has been retrieved. Hopefully now they could try to figure out what happened.

Anyone hear it yet?

I would assume this would create too many issues. If there is a catastrophic event it will most probably cut power and data connection, which defeats the whole purpose of the blackbox.

Can't a planes position be looked up at any given time?

The voice recorder is still at the bottom of the ocean. Even when it is retrieved don't expect to hear it for a while...

Palm5 · « **Reply #78 on:** January 13, 2015, 03:24:30 PM »

True. I thought it was recovered already

they can store it locally and in the cloud it's not a either or situation
