A method of preventing aircraft from taking off with ground support equipment installed thereon by detecting the presence of ground support equipment installed on an aircraft using geo-fencing software to define a predetermined area or virtual perimeter around in which aircraft may be operating and using an electronic tracking tag with a positioning device to transmit the location of the tracking tag to a satellite and/or land-based receiver. The satellite and land-based receiver are able to transmit location information to a computer system that then generates an alert. The alert is then transmitted to the pilot or other crew member of the aircraft, the control tower and/or ground support crew or any other entity desired. At that point the person(s) receiving the alert are in a position to take remedial action.
