A system and method for implementing an autonomous distress tracking (ADT) triggering function is provided. The method comprises receiving a configuration file containing a plurality of user configurable parameters from a ground-based system, configuring an aircraft condition and monitoring function (ACMF) engine to apply trigger logic specified by the plurality of user configurable parameters to aircraft sensor and/or system data and monitoring for a plurality of distress conditions specified by the plurality of user configurable parameters; executing the configured ACMF engine to detect the occurrence of a distress condition; automatically generating a data message when a distress condition occurrence has been detected wherein the data message can include aircraft position data specified in the user configurable parameters, the aircraft sensor and/or system data on which the detection of the one or more trigger conditions was based, and the identity of the detected distress condition; and automatically sending the data message to a transmission system onboard the aircraft that is configured to transmit a search and rescue signal.
