Amazing. I think these things are a bit crazy, whether they be shipboard or on airplanes, considering the technology that's been available for a relatively long time now. Systems similar to "OnStar" should be installed. That will not only give you constant updates via satellite but will also provide physical tamper information. Having these NOT report via satellite is kind of like putting your backups on the same drives as your databases.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Satellites, nor connectivity, is not always reliable. You need some recorder that can store data locally.

Heh... yep... agree. That's what buffers are for. 🙂 The thing is that they have transmitters to identify the plane in flight and ground stations pick up on those. Dual coverage by satellite and ground station would do nicely.

The OS is a valid design consideration, however, it didn't stop encryption of the data, duplication / hash copies for validation nor auditing. The article points to system design flaws of which a more secure OS would only hide. For a while. Maybe.
