Nigerian Domestic Airlines To Install Tracking Device

All aircraft operated by our domestic airlines in Nigeria are to be fitted with Automated Flight Information Reporting System, as part of efforts to ensure air safety in the country. Well according to the Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), Dr. Harold Demuren.
'The new device will record everything that happens to an aircraft during flight. If there is engine failure, it will record it; if there is excessive temperature, it will record it. If there is excessive vibration, it will record it, in summary it records the smallest amount of detail on any airline fitted with this device.
If for example a Yashim Airline plane (not bad for an airline name by the way. *wink*) in New york is about to take off and there is an oil temperature irregularity in the planes' engine it would show at the NCAA flight ops systems in Nigeria, Cool Right!
“All airlines will be required to fix this on board their aircraft. The control centre will be at the NCAA, where we will be seeing everything. This is a good development in our airspace.
Dr. Demuren said the NCAA will make the installation of the new device in aircraft a compulsory for all domestic airlines, adding that it would be included in carriers’ minimum equipment list.Dr. Demuren said the new device would serve as a backup in the event of loss of data contained in aircraft’s black boxes.The loss of data contained in the black box of the airplane operated by Nigeria's domestic Dana Air, which crashed on the outskirts of Lagos 3 June 2012, killing 159 people, adversely affected investigation into the cause of the crash.
