The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 demonstrated the limits of the contemporary flight recorder technology, namely how physical possession of the flight recorder device is necessary to help investigate the cause of an aircraft incident. Considering the advances of modern communication, technology commentators called for flight recorders to be supplemented or replaced by a system that provides "live streaming" of data from the aircraft to the ground.<ref name="Trimble"/><ref name="CBC"/><ref name="Conversation"/> Furthermore, commentators called for the underwater locator beacon's range and battery life to be extended, as well as the outfitting of civil aircraft with the deployable flight recorders typically used in military aircraft. Previous to MH370, the investigators of 2009 [[Air France Flight 447]] urged that the battery life be extended as "rapidly as possible" after the crash's flight recorders went unrecovered for over a year.<ref name="SMH"/>
