The Anti Hijacking Fail-safe System with Alert Locator Tracking Capabilities is a tamper-proof computer hardware/software system that could be installed in a commercial aircraft that, in case of an emergency, could be irreversibly engaged by the pilot, or by remote control, to take complete control of all necessary navigation and flight controls. It will then identify and select a predetermined, suitable airport. After this selection is made, the system will then vector the aircraft to the selected airport. After considering many factors, the system will engage an auto-land system. The auto-land system will take the aircraft to a safe landing, full stop, and shut down. The system could then be pre programmed with several other emergency functions, specific to the aircraft in which it is installed.
A computer system for commercial aircraft which is linked to the on-board global positioning system by utilizing information therefrom, the computer being programmed to send out to air traffic control a signal which automatically turns on when entering United States air space thereby identifying the specific aircraft and continuously sending out a signal to air traffic control reporting the aircraft's position.
