The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in March 2014 following the crash of Air France Flight 447 five years earlier prompted a new push to scrutinize global tracking of commercial aircraft flying within remote areas of the world. The UNs aviation agency has announced new regulations that will allow for airplanes to be tracked in real time, two years after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. This incident has triggered the requirement for the continuous monitoring of aircraft during flight. The requirement for aircraft to carry autonomous distress tracking devices, which can autonomously transmit location information at least once every minute in distress circumstances. The requirement for aircraft to be equipped with a means to have flight recorder data recovered and made available in a timely manner.
