| Aircraft tracking is a process, established by the operator, that maintains and updates, at standardized intervals, a ground-based record of the four dimensional position (4D) of individual aircraft in flight. In response to the loss of Malaysia Airlines airliner MH370 in 2014 and AF447 ICAO submitted recommendations to track all airline flights (see Amendment 42 to Annex 6 Part 1). As of now, the recommendations around flight tracking are only standards developed by ICAO and contained in the Circular 347 (Aircraft Tracking Implementation Guidelines), no actual mandates so far, so each country’s aviation authorities could potentially put forth its own requirements. For now, ICAO has recommended that by 8 November 2018, all airlines must know where each of its aircraft is located while in flight at 15 minute intervals.
