The GADSS concept of operations is simple in its scope: provide autonomous global, end-to-end tracking of commercial flights so that an aircraft is never “lost.”

Its primary focus is the detection of aircraft in distress anywhere in the world, but also to provide more accurate tracking throughout the flight so the Search & Rescue (SAR) procedure can be initiated, if required, and rescuers directed to the right location. This process will also enable more efficient SAR operations as well as timely retrieval of the Flight Data Recorder.

This webinar will give OEMs and airlines an insight of:

• The GADSS ADT requirements: What is the exact scope and definition of ADT? What performance is expected? When should airlines comply? Which specific aircraft types are involved?
• Compliance through an ELT DT (Emergency Location Transmitter: Distress Tracking): While the mandate is performance-based, various technologies are available to meet this requirement. Orolia will highlight the concept of ELT-DT which has emerged as a resilient solution supported by an existing global infrastructure dedicated to distress management.
• Use Case of Successful ELT (DT) Integration: Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance will give an insight of the STC development work that is currently underway.
