All newly-built commercial aircraft must adhere to safety standards that go into effect Jan. 1, 2021. Orolia, which develops new technology for the Global Aeronautical Distress Safety System (GADSS), offers the Kannad Ultima-DT Distress Tracking Emergency Locator Transmitter.
It features a trigger-in-flight capability to detect imminent emergency situations and send a secure distress signal, including the aircraft’s position, to continuously track its location in any circumstances. The transmitter also includes Return Link Command Service to activate a distress signal from the ground in case of uncertainty about the aircraft’s status, or if attempts to communicate with the flight crew are unsuccessful.
