direct the FAA to develop an airline tracker guaranteed to an accuracy of a 1 mile radius.

Tracking ideas and systems have been around for decades
but this system scales out, is affordable and real time.
SmartPlane Locator System
Description:
Cloud location based service to track airliners.
Had lat long and timestamp been saved to a Big Data
NoSQL columnar database every 6 seconds Malaysia MH370 would have been found within a 1 mile radius.
Top speed assumed at 600 MPH.
The cost could be as low as $1 per flight ticket at 100,000
flights per day world wide brings in revenue of $36,500,000 per year to pay for procurement, operation and maintenance.
Air France flight 447 cost $160 million dollars and 2 years to
locate. “But the search for Flight 370 is already far more
complicated, and may have already topped that total. "
