PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 INTRODUCTION

An aviation incident is defined as an occurrence, other than an accident, associated with

the operation of an aircraft that affects or could affect the safety of operations. With an
increasing emphasis on anti hi-jacking and border security, there is a necessity to develop an
indication and security system to reduce or avoid hi-jacking by unknowingly or
unauthorized. In this paper we have proposed a low cost security system especially for
protecting aviation accidents.

When they have any problem with hi-jacking, first it should alerted using an alarm
system and according to the navigation auto landing will proceeds in further, the special
sensor will sense automatically if the flight has hi-jacked or in trouble and turned on auto
landing using GPS and GSM used to alert the guard so that they can take required action.

GPS (Global Positioning System) is increasingly being used for a wide range of
applications. It provides reliable positioning, navigation to worldwide users on a continuous
basis in all weather, day and night, anywhere on or near the Earth. None of the present GPS
systems satisfy the requirements for the safety for civilian navigation in the sea as the
maritime boundary of a country cannot be marked.

The main objective of this paper is to help the flight safety. If the flight reaches some
treble’s it indicated by an alarm to base station, and the engine of the flight is automatically
land in airport by the use of a satellite module interfaced with the system transmits a signal
to coast guard base station to take necessary action.

2.2 EXISTING SYSTEM

At present, there are few existing systems which help to identify the current position of
the flight using GPS system and view them in an electronic map. No automatic landing (auto
pilot mode) has used.

2.3 LIMITATIONS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing systems just indicate the position of the flight but do not take any control
action while hi-jacked. There may be situations where the monitoring officer may not be
viewing when a flight hi-jacked or met trouble. In such situations the above system goes
useless.

2.4 PROPOSED WORK

In this project, we propose a system that has an inbuilt sensor to find hi-jacking problem
and other issues then controller to control to fuel supply and other basic setup’s if there is a
problem in flight it identify the nearby airport and make auto landing and also indicate
coastal guard office so that they take further necessary action. The security system used
while flight initial checking (before take-off) mode, and also provide necessary security
action in mid-air region while flight running in sky until the landing the flight. When the
flight goes uncontrollable situation.

The special sensor or tool provide security by using GPS because it find the location to
land the flight while troubled scenario. And also it deals fuel supply to the engine and also if
any problem in flight or natural aspects to do this satellite module interfaced with the
microcontroller (PIC) sends an alert signal to satellite which is directed towards a base
station. From the base station an alert signal comprising of latitude and longitude positions
of the flight is send a message to the nearby airport and coastal guard office and the officer
takes further action. The proposed model block diagram is shown in figure2.1, 2.2.

The panic sensor send the alert if there is some problem then the auto flight control
mode can be activated and flight will be control from the base station itself for this case
flight location and other details is needed that can get by GPS. The GSM is used for
creating the alert for guards and other operators in and around the appropriate base stations
while they are not attentive at the moment.
