Airplane flight recorder, an orange device, is now based on SSD AFAIK. Previously it was using magnetic storage.

When flying with Emirates today I've noticed they have a pico-BTS on board, which is apparently using a satellite uplink. To implement more or less real time GSM signaling uplink must be always online. So what is preventing from using the same link to save flight data to a remote location that is more secure then a device that some times can hardly be found?

P.s.just got back home, trip report from Seychelles is coming soon. Will have just to read/scan through around a thousand e-mails.
