Yes he is, in the part I quoted. That's the part I'm talking about, which is why it's the part I quoted. Learn what the word "context" means. It's the part that the comment I was replying to quoted. Try and keep up.

Use the existing wifi connection to send additional information that at least would give you the location of the plane to the nearest kilometer. There are no laws of physics that prevent this.

No, he's not talking about these systems.

The fuck are you talking about, planes don't have wifi connections. Do you think they've got a a wifi antenna outside connecting to an AP on land?

> to send additional information that at least would give you the location of the plane to the nearest kilometer.

That already trivially fits in the ACARS, and is completely useless since it's available from radars in the first place, until radar and data links become unavailable.

Yes they do. I'm talking about the connection that is used to provide wifi to passengers on the plane. It's a satellite connection.

If the location is available, how did they lose the plane?
