ABSTRACT:
A system and method is provided for passenger reporting of emergencies aboard an aircraft. An exemplary aircraft security system may have a panic device accessible to and activated by a passenger who may be seated. The panic device may be within a passenger compartment of an aircraft, and a wireless interface associated with the aircraft may respond to activation of the panic device by transmitting an emergency signal outside of the aircraft. The emergency signal may be indicative of panic data and/or aircraft data determined within the aircraft. The panic data may indicate the presence of an emergency within the aircraft, and the aircraft data may include the status of aircraft systems, telemetry data, and media transmission of the passenger compartment. The panic data and/or aircraft data may be extracted from the emergency signal and sent to authorities.
