The Allplane Podcast #61 - flight monitoring with Albert Domínguez (SITA)
Manage episode 362133555 series 3472006
In the third episode of our airline software series, produced in collaboration with SITA for Aircraft, we explore a topic that may sound familiar to the many of you that enjoy spending some time using flight tracking applications.
It is paradoxical that, in an era in which you can monitor air traffic at any time of day or night at the tip of a click from your laptop or your phone screens, not all aircraft are tracked at all time when in flight. The tragic disappearance of the flight MH370 in 2014 brought this paradox to the fore and prompted ICAO to issue the “15 minute” rule that, by 2023, will require all airlines to have systems in place to monitor their aircraft pretty much on an ongoing basis.
What is currently the situation on this front? Are airlines ready to track their aircraft wherever they are? What technologies are there to fulfill this mission?
Albert Domínguez, product manager at SITA for Aircraft, will be today on the podcast to answer all these questions.
Albert is product manager for eWAS Dispatch, SITA for Aircraft flagship product for flight monitoring and analysis, and , as well as of Flight Tracker, a legacy product in the same category. An experienced professional in the field of airline operations software, Albert will give us an overview of the different ways aircraft can communicate with ground control to make sure everything is allright at all times.
