IV. PHYSICAL POSSESSION IS REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE CRITICAL DATA

recovered as quickly as possible and returned to their respective families. This

invention will solve that problem by redesigning the current black box technology to

include a satellite network for bringing the entire flight online. The term 'black box'

will be used throughout this application and refers to the flight data recorders. A

down point with black boxes is that physical possession is required to study the data.

The main shortcoming with the present technology is that critical data stored

within these black boxes are not immediately available to emergency responders

while in flight on a real time basis. For example, emergency response do not have

ON DEMAND or remote access or remote control over the critical data stored within

these black boxes. The present technology have these black boxes on board the

aircraft, but under the present scheme, actual physical possession is required in

order to access the data. Without physical possession of these devices, the data is

essentially lost, such as in the recent case with Malaysia flight 370. However flight

370 was not the first flight that fell off of radar and where the FDR was lost. There

are indeed other cases as explained herein. This presents a real problem because

all of the investigative data is lost, leaving investigators at a loss as to what actually

caused the problem with the crash. Any helpful information that could have been

used to study why the flight crashed is lost forever and the chances of rescuing any

survivors is slim to none.

This data is needed immediately because emergency Investigators analyze

this data within the black box to understand what caused the crash.

In fact, this information is so critical and so important that this data cannot be

lost due to the dire circumstances. described herein Redundancy at a remote
