A system capable of regaining control of an aircraft (120a, 120b, 120c) that may have been lost due to incapacitation of the crew includes an airborne segment on the aircraft (120), a ground segment (130a, 130b, 130c) and a communications segment (10) wherein control of the aircraft (120) is removed from the control of unauthorised person(s) onboard the aircraft (120), and the aircraft is directed to a destination that is considered a safe location for the aircraft given its status, and to facilitate a reasonably safe emergency landing. The ground segment comprises monitoring and control equipment (130a, 130b, 130c) capable of monitoring the aircraft (120) and determining the presence of an emergency situation onboard the aircraft. The airborne segment comprises a navigational system capable of providing autonomous control of the aircraft (120) upon receipt of a signal from the ground segment (130a, 130b, 130c). <IMAGE>
