The present invention relates to a system and method for transmitting location information during an aircraft emergency. In particular, when an emergency signal of an aircraft is received, an area receiving the signal is input through a touch screen or an input unit, and the position coordinates of the incident location are calculated. Then, the system extracts the location information and transmits emergency dispatch instructions, including accident type information, location information, and maps, to the portable terminal of the emergency recovery team and emergency recovery personnel. It is about.

An emergency landing occurs when an aircraft cannot continue to its intended destination or reserve aerodrome, with one to two incidents per month worldwide. Such a frequency can be said to be considered a very high frequency in the aviation field where safety should be considered as a top priority. An emergency landing will land when an emergency occurs, such as a patient's outbreak, fire, breakdown, climate change or lack of fuel during flight.

In addition, emergency landings are similar to emergency landings. Emergency landings are the last means of landing in the event of an aircraft accident or an unexpected accident. The landing gear is not discharged or a major fire occurs in the aircraft. This means that normal landing behavior is impossible, and the risk of accidents is high and life loss is expected.

As such, the emergency landing and emergency landing of the aircraft has a great impact on the loss of the aircraft itself and the safety of the passengers. Therefore, a system for prompt and quick response is required when such an occurrence occurs.

In general, what to do when an emergency landing occurs,

1) In case of an emergency, information such as flight number, model, accident, crew, and number of passengers will be sent to the control tower and will enter the emergency.

2) The control tower and the airport operating room will direct the aircraft to the designated runway by instructing the aircraft to fly into the emergency landing system after dumping the remaining fuel except the minimum fuel required for landing in the air (Fuel Dumping). do.

3) If the fuselage is tilted during landing, a fire occurs in the engine section, causing casualties of life including passengers and crew members and accidents resulting in damage to the runway.The emergency stop signal is issued from the control tower and the fire and ambulance vehicles at the airport. The aircraft approaches and waits in the run way before attempting an emergency landing.

In addition, in case of lack of firefighting power at the airport, request a support dispatch to a nearby fire station, and equipment such as fire trucks, ambulances, rescue helicopters, and firefighting helicopters are dispatched to the site to extinguish the fire of the aircraft. It takes less than two minutes for the fire truck to arrive and release the fire extinguishing water from the accident.

In this way, emergency dispatch must be made within 2 minutes from the occurrence of the aircraft emergency, and fire fighting and recovery must be promptly carried out.

However, at present, there has been a big problem in effectively dealing with such emergency situation due to lack of location information, lack of effective communication system, and inaccurate delivery of movement route to the accident point.

Therefore, in the event of an aircraft emergency, a systematic device is required, such as a system that transmits accurate information on the location and cause of an emergency situation to relevant personnel in real time.
