Civil aviation pilots may be required to report the location of the liners during flights every 15 minutes. This initiative was made by the international civil aviation organization (ICAO), reports Reuters.

Discussion of the new standard is expected to take place in February of the current year at the conference on safety in Montreal. According to the press-Secretary of the ICAO Anthony Philbin (Anthony Philbin), if the members of the organization will adopt the new standard, it will be implemented in the near future, because it does not require new technologies.

"The conference will examine the question of the timing of the implementation of this proposal, as well as the need by ICAO to expedite this process," said Philbin, calling the initiative "fundamental standard tracking flight".

It is noted that the new standard ICAO intends to introduce the following situation with the disappearance of a passenger plane Malaysia Airlines last spring. Boeing 777, carrying out flight MH370 in Beijing, flew in the night of 8 March. On Board were 227 passengers and 12 crew members. Leaving Kuala Lumpur, the aircraft disappeared from radar screens. It is assumed that the plane went down in the southern part of the Indian ocean, where it crashed. The wreckage is still not found.
