The disappearance of \nMalaysia Airlines flight 370\n confounded authorities and focused the world on implementing a global system for tracking aircraft in distress. 10 years later the ICAO Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) is helping to ensure aircraft are always able to be located. \nFlightradar24 as it looked in 2014 displaying data received from MH370\nHow MH370 changed flight tracking\nThe initial information provided by Malaysian authorities led to confusion about the possible location of the aircraft. The last ADS-B position report from the aircraft was received by Flightradar24 at 17:21 UTC (1:21 AM local time), about 40 minutes after the aircraft departed Kuala Lumpur. But \nMalaysia Airlines\n and Malaysian authorities initially said that they had lost contact with the aircraft long after the aircraft stopped broadcasting ADS-B data at 18:40 UTC. This led to an initial search a long way away from the final signal north of Vietnam. Crucially, it also hampered any reporting on flight activity in the area around the last ADS-B message.\nEventually, authorities, investigators, and satellite operators determined that the aircraft’s transponder had been deactivated at the point of last signal, but that satellite communications equipment continued to perform “handshakes” with the Inmarsat satellites for hours, leading to the current search area in the southern Indian Ocean.\nThe disappearance of MH370 fast tracked the development and implementation of ICAO’s Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS).\nThis system contains three elements; aircraft tracking, the location of the aircraft in distress and post-flight localization and recovery. The GADSS facilitates the autonomous transmission of information which can determine an aircraft’s position at a certain time. This commonly takes the form of transmitted GPS coordinates or a radio signal which can be triangulated (similar to\nMultilateration ‘MLAT’\ntechnology used by Flightradar24). The system is designed to continue working regardless of power loss on board the aircraft. \nHow MH370 changed Flightrdar24\nAfter the disappearance of MH370, we reconfigured Flightradar24 receivers to store all received transponder data locally for as long as possible. ADS-B data is transmitted by the aircraft up to twice per second and in areas of high traffic, the volume of data received by a single receiver can be tremendous. Prior to MH370, data was passed from the receiver to the Flightradar24 network and enough data was stored to adequately track the aircraft. With the reconfiguration of the receivers to store all data received, it became possible to revisit any flight and examine data at a granular level. This is what has made it possible to analyze and publish data on a range of incidents and accidents in the past 10 years.\nThe search for MH370\nAs we approached the 10th anniversary, Australia reiterated its commitment to assisting Malaysia in a renewed search for the aircraft. Australia’s transport and foreign ministers said this week marking the occasion, “The Australian Government is supportive of all practical efforts to find MH370. Australia stands ready to assist the Malaysian Government if it considers that Australian agencies are able to offer technical information as a result of their involvement in previous searches.”\nRelated topics:\nB772\nB777\nBoeing\nMalaysia Airlines\nMH-MAS\nMH370\nPublished:\nMarch 8, 2024\nGet the latest aviation news delivered to you\nGet the latest aviation news delivered to you\nFlight tracking and aviation industry news direct to your inbox\nAviation news comes quickly, so join more than 1.7 million others who receive weekly aviation industry and flight tracking news from Flightradar24 direct to their inbox.\nThe best aviation photos\nBite-sized aviation news\nExclusive flight tracking data\nShare this article\nChris Lomas\nChris is a Commercial Pilot and lover of all things aviation.

Lomas](https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3aa7c9e38b7eaec9fd43b41961e7e663?s=300&d=mm&r=g)](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/author\/chris\/)\n\n[Chris Lomas](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/author\/chris\/)\n\n- Updated: June 18, 2024\n\nTen years ago today, one of the most tragic and baffling events in the history of commercial aviation unfolded off the coast of Malaysia. The disappearance of [Malaysia Airlines flight 370](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/data\/pinned\/mh370-2d81a27#2d81a27) confounded authorities and focused the world on implementing a global system for tracking aircraft in distress. 10 years later the ICAO Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) is helping to ensure aircraft are always able to be located.\n\n[![ADS-B data showing flight path of MH370 up to the point where the ADS-B transponder was switched off](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/MH370PlaybackImage.jpg)](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/data\/pinned\/mh370-2d81a27#2d81a27)\n\nFlightradar24 as it looked in 2014 displaying data received from MH370\n\nHow MH370 changed flight tracking\n\nThe initial information provided by Malaysian authorities led to confusion about the possible location of the aircraft. The last ADS-B position report from the aircraft was received by Flightradar24 at 17:21 UTC (1:21 AM local time), about 40 minutes after the aircraft departed Kuala Lumpur. But [Malaysia Airlines](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/data\/airlines\/mh-mas) and Malaysian authorities initially said that they had lost contact with the aircraft long after the aircraft stopped broadcasting ADS-B data at 18:40 UTC. This led to an initial search a long way away from the final signal north of Vietnam. Crucially, it also hampered any reporting on flight activity in the area around the last ADS-B message.\n\nEventually, authorities, investigators, and satellite operators determined that the aircraft’s transponder had been deactivated at the point of last signal, but that satellite communications equipment continued to perform “handshakes” with the Inmarsat satellites for hours, leading to the current search area in the southern Indian Ocean.\n\n![Timeline showing secondary surveillance radar, primary radar, and satellite handshakes](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Timeline_of_MH370_Detections.svg-1024x439.png)\n\nThe disappearance of MH370 fast tracked the development and implementation of ICAO’s Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS). This system contains three elements; aircraft tracking, the location of the aircraft in distress and post-flight localization and recovery. The GADSS facilitates the autonomous transmission of information which can determine an aircraft’s position at a certain time. This commonly takes the form of transmitted GPS coordinates or a radio signal which can be triangulated (similar to [Multilateration ‘MLAT’](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/how-we-track-flights-with-mlat\/) technology used by Flightradar24). The system is designed to continue working regardless of power loss on board the aircraft.\n\nHow MH370 changed Flightrdar24\n\n![Raw MH370 ADS-B data received by Flightradar24](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/mh370-449x262.jpg)\n\nAfter the disappearance of MH370, we reconfigured Flightradar24 receivers to store all received transponder data locally for as long as possible. ADS-B data is transmitted by the aircraft up to twice per second and in areas of high traffic, the volume of data received by a single receiver can be tremendous. Prior to MH370, data was passed from the receiver to the Flightradar24 network and enough data was stored to adequately track the aircraft. With the reconfiguration of the receivers to store all data received, it became possible to revisit any flight and examine data at a granular level. This is what has made it possible to analyze and publish data on a range of incidents and accidents in the past 10 years.\n\nThe search for MH370\n\n![9M-MRO the aircraft involved in flight MH370](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9M-MRO-1024x699.jpg)\n\nAs we approached the 10th anniversary, Australia reiterated its commitment to assisting Malaysia in a renewed search for the aircraft. Australia’s transport and foreign ministers said this week marking the occasion, “The Australian Government is supportive of all practical efforts to find MH370. Australia stands ready to assist the Malaysian Government if it considers that Australian agencies are able to offer technical information as a result of their involvement in previous searches.”\n\nRelated topics:\n\n[B772](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/tag\/b772\/)[B777](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/tag\/b777\/)[Boeing](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/tag\/boeing\/)[Malaysia Airlines](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/tag\/malaysia-airlines\/)[MH-MAS](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/tag\/mh-mas\/)[MH370](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/tag\/mh370\/)\n\n- Published:\n  \n  March 8, 2024\n\n![On The Radar Logo](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/OnTheRadar_WhiteText_byFlightradar24-white.svg)\n\nGet the latest aviation news delivered to you\n\nGet the latest aviation news delivered to you\n\nFlight tracking and aviation industry news direct to your inbox\n\nAviation news comes quickly, so join more than 1.7 million others who receive weekly aviation industry and flight tracking news from Flightradar24 direct to their inbox.\n\n- The best aviation photos\n- Bite-sized aviation news\n- Exclusive flight tracking data\n\nShare this article\n\n[![Picture of Chris Lomas](https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3aa7c9e38b7eaec9fd43b41961e7e663?s=300&d=mm&r=g)](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/author\/chris\/)\n\n[Chris Lomas](https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/author\/chris\/)\n\nChris is a Commercial Pilot and lover of all things aviation.

The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 confounded authorities and focused the world on implementing a global system for tracking aircraft in distress. 10 years later the ICAO Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) is helping to ensure aircraft are always able to be located. Flightradar24 as it looked in 2014 displaying data received from MH370 How MH370 changed flight tracking The initial information provided by Malaysian authorities led to confusion about the possible location of the aircraft. The last ADS-B position report from the aircraft was received by Flightradar24 at 17:21 UTC (1:21 AM local time), about 40 minutes after the aircraft departed Kuala Lumpur. But Malaysia Airlines and Malaysian authorities initially said that they had lost contact with the aircraft long after the aircraft stopped broadcasting ADS-B data at 18:40 UTC. This led to an initial search a long way away from the final signal north of Vietnam. Crucially, it also hampered any reporting on flight activity in the area around the last ADS-B message. Eventually, authorities, investigators, and satellite operators determined that the aircraft’s transponder had been deactivated at the point of last signal, but that satellite communications equipment continued to perform “handshakes” with the Inmarsat satellites for hours, leading to the current search area in the southern Indian Ocean. The disappearance of MH370 fast tracked the development and implementation of ICAO’s Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS). This system contains three elements; aircraft tracking, the location of the aircraft in distress and post-flight localization and recovery. The GADSS facilitates the autonomous transmission of information which can determine an aircraft’s position at a certain time. This commonly takes the form of transmitted GPS coordinates or a radio signal which can be triangulated (similar to Multilateration ‘MLAT’ technology used by Flightradar24). The system is designed to continue working regardless of power loss on board the aircraft. How MH370 changed Flightrdar24 After the disappearance of MH370, we reconfigured Flightradar24 receivers to store all received transponder data locally for as long as possible. ADS-B data is transmitted by the aircraft up to twice per second and in areas of high traffic, the volume of data received by a single receiver can be tremendous. Prior to MH370, data was passed from the receiver to the Flightradar24 network and enough data was stored to adequately track the aircraft. With the reconfiguration of the receivers to store all data received, it became possible to revisit any flight and examine data at a granular level. This is what has made it possible to analyze and publish data on a range of incidents and accidents in the past 10 years. The search for MH370 As we approached the 10th anniversary, Australia reiterated its commitment to assisting Malaysia in a renewed search for the aircraft. Australia’s transport and foreign ministers said this week marking the occasion, “The Australian Government is supportive of all practical efforts to find MH370. Australia stands ready to assist the Malaysian Government if it considers that Australian agencies are able to offer technical information as a result of their involvement in previous searches.” Related topics: B772 B777 Boeing Malaysia Airlines MH-MAS MH370 Published: March 8, 2024 Get the latest aviation news delivered to you Get the latest aviation news delivered to you Flight tracking and aviation industry news direct to your inbox Aviation news comes quickly, so join more than 1.7 million others who receive weekly aviation industry and flight tracking news from Flightradar24 direct to their inbox.

The system is designed to continue working regardless of power loss on board the aircraft. ## How MH370 changed Flightrdar24 ![Raw MH370 ADS-B data received by Flightradar24](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/mh370-449x262.jpg) After the disappearance of MH370, we reconfigured Flightradar24 receivers to store all received transponder data locally for as long as possible. ADS-B data is transmitted by the aircraft up to twice per second and in areas of high traffic, the volume of data received by a single receiver can be tremendous. Prior to MH370, data was passed from the receiver to the Flightradar24 network and enough data was stored to adequately track the aircraft. With the reconfiguration of the receivers to store all data received, it became possible to revisit any flight and examine data at a granular level. This is what has made it possible to analyze and publish data on a range of incidents and accidents in the past 10 years. ## The search for MH370 ![9M-MRO the aircraft involved in flight MH370](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/9M-MRO-1024x699.jpg) As we approached the 10th anniversary, Australia reiterated its commitment to assisting Malaysia in a renewed search for the aircraft. Australia’s transport and foreign ministers said this week marking the occasion, “The Australian Government is supportive of all practical efforts to find MH370. Australia stands ready to assist the Malaysian Government if it considers that Australian agencies are able to offer technical information as a result of their involvement in previous searches.” Related topics: [B772](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/b772/)[B777](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/b777/)[Boeing](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/boeing/)[Malaysia Airlines](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/malaysia-airlines/)[MH-MAS](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/mh-mas/)[MH370](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/mh370/) - Published: March 8, 2024 ![On The Radar Logo](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/OnTheRadar_WhiteText_byFlightradar24-white.svg) Get the latest aviation news delivered to you ## Get the latest aviation news delivered to you ## Flight tracking and aviation industry news direct to your inbox Aviation news comes quickly, so join more than 1.7 million others who receive weekly aviation industry and flight tracking news from Flightradar24 direct to their inbox. - The best aviation photos - Bite-sized aviation news - Exclusive flight tracking data ##### Share this article [![Picture of Chris Lomas](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3aa7c9e38b7eaec9fd43b41961e7e663?s=300&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/author/chris/) [Chris Lomas](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/author/chris/) Chris is a Commercial Pilot and lover of all things aviation.

The disappearance of [Malaysia Airlines flight 370](https://www.flightradar24.com/data/pinned/mh370-2d81a27#2d81a27) confounded authorities and focused the world on implementing a global system for tracking aircraft in distress. 10 years later the ICAO Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) is helping to ensure aircraft are always able to be located. [![ADS-B data showing flight path of MH370 up to the point where the ADS-B transponder was switched off](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/MH370PlaybackImage.jpg)](https://www.flightradar24.com/data/pinned/mh370-2d81a27#2d81a27) Flightradar24 as it looked in 2014 displaying data received from MH370 How MH370 changed flight tracking The initial information provided by Malaysian authorities led to confusion about the possible location of the aircraft. The last ADS-B position report from the aircraft was received by Flightradar24 at 17:21 UTC (1:21 AM local time), about 40 minutes after the aircraft departed Kuala Lumpur. But [Malaysia Airlines](https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airlines/mh-mas) and Malaysian authorities initially said that they had lost contact with the aircraft long after the aircraft stopped broadcasting ADS-B data at 18:40 UTC. This led to an initial search a long way away from the final signal north of Vietnam. Crucially, it also hampered any reporting on flight activity in the area around the last ADS-B message. Eventually, authorities, investigators, and satellite operators determined that the aircraft’s transponder had been deactivated at the point of last signal, but that satellite communications equipment continued to perform “handshakes” with the Inmarsat satellites for hours, leading to the current search area in the southern Indian Ocean. ![Timeline showing secondary surveillance radar, primary radar, and satellite handshakes](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Timeline_of_MH370_Detections.svg-1024x439.png) The disappearance of MH370 fast tracked the development and implementation of ICAO’s Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS). This system contains three elements; aircraft tracking, the location of the aircraft in distress and post-flight localization and recovery. The GADSS facilitates the autonomous transmission of information which can determine an aircraft’s position at a certain time. This commonly takes the form of transmitted GPS coordinates or a radio signal which can be triangulated (similar to [Multilateration ‘MLAT’](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/how-we-track-flights-with-mlat/) technology used by Flightradar24). The system is designed to continue working regardless of power loss on board the aircraft. How MH370 changed Flightrdar24 ![Raw MH370 ADS-B data received by Flightradar24](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/mh370-449x262.jpg) After the disappearance of MH370, we reconfigured Flightradar24 receivers to store all received transponder data locally for as long as possible. ADS-B data is transmitted by the aircraft up to twice per second and in areas of high traffic, the volume of data received by a single receiver can be tremendous. Prior to MH370, data was passed from the receiver to the Flightradar24 network and enough data was stored to adequately track the aircraft. With the reconfiguration of the receivers to store all data received, it became possible to revisit any flight and examine data at a granular level. This is what has made it possible to analyze and publish data on a range of incidents and accidents in the past 10 years. The search for MH370 ![9M-MRO the aircraft involved in flight MH370](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/9M-MRO-1024x699.jpg) As we approached the 10th anniversary, Australia reiterated its commitment to assisting Malaysia in a renewed search for the aircraft. Australia’s transport and foreign ministers said this week marking the occasion, “The Australian Government is supportive of all practical efforts to find MH370. Australia stands ready to assist the Malaysian Government if it considers that Australian agencies are able to offer technical information as a result of their involvement in previous searches.” Related topics: [B772](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/b772/)[B777](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/b777/)[Boeing](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/boeing/)[Malaysia Airlines](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/malaysia-airlines/)[MH-MAS](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/mh-mas/)[MH370](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/tag/mh370/) - Published: March 8, 2024 ![On The Radar Logo](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/OnTheRadar_WhiteText_byFlightradar24-white.svg) Get the latest aviation news delivered to you Get the latest aviation news delivered to you Flight tracking and aviation industry news direct to your inbox Aviation news comes quickly, so join more than 1.7 million others who receive weekly aviation industry and flight tracking news from Flightradar24 direct to their inbox. - The best aviation photos - Bite-sized aviation news - Exclusive flight tracking data Share this article [![Picture of Chris Lomas](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3aa7c9e38b7eaec9fd43b41961e7e663?s=300&d=mm&r=g)](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/author/chris/) [Chris Lomas](https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/author/chris/) Chris is a Commercial Pilot and lover of all things aviation.
