An integrated flight safety apparatus containing a 12-channel GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver that networks a flight data recorder to a satellite communications system. This device is capable of providing real-time data acquisition and analysis to a ground-based monitoring and tracking station. The aircraft location and tracking system extracts data from any data collection device by utilizing serial port to serial port communications. A call is established from the tracking station to the apparatus, then the extracted data is polled to the base station at user defined intervals over the satellite link. Simultaneously, the aircraft's location is displayed on a moving aerial map in relation to its global position. In addition, different aerial maps, airspace mapping, waypoints, airports and runway approaches may be downloaded and displayed on the user's monitor and tracked on the remote monitor. This device utilizes voice command technology and can also be used as a satellite telephone device.
